My Mom Catfished LDS Men Online to Get Me Dates: And Other Parental Boundary Stories

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by Ember Tonge to discuss her hilarious story of having her own mother troll LDS dating sites pretending to be Ember in order to line up dates for her. 

We all agree that parents usually have our best interests at heart, but the high demand high control aspects of Mormon perfectionism add a level to normal interactions that can cause LDS parents to ignore boundaries.

We're sure you will be able to relate to the stories that Ember shares as we take a humorous yet important look at parents and boundaries through the lens of Mormonism.
