PARENTING
UPDATED WEEKLY

This is NOT your typical parenting podcast. You won’t get advice on the best way to swaddle your child, how to have ‘the talk’ or whether to give them pocket money. This podcast, hosted by Sarah McGilvray and Cathrine Mahoney, is a safe place for any parent who gets to the end of the week thinking “How did I keep my children alive?”

At The Top Of The Christmas List!

Well we have made it to the end of the year, and that means the kids Christmas lists are here too... Cath's son wants a hairstyle that she is not keen on but Sarah say's go for it! Take one guess at what that style is and Sarah has been having some awful dreams, but what do they MEAN? Sarah took inspiration from Cath and tried putting crystals in her bra, but her boys decided the crystals had a better home! We also have some sad news that we have to share but we will save that for the very end of the episode *Sad Face* Nova Entertainment acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we recorded this podcast, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation.

Caught Red Handed!

White Lies, Porkies, we all tell them and sometimes it is necessary to tell them to your kids.. but is Sarah setting a really bad example for the kids?

I've Misplaced My Son

Cath has lost her son... but only for a few days at school camp! We reminisce about school camp and how much FUN it was... Sarah has gotten herself into a Gingerbread house making day with the kids and Cath isn't happy she isn't invited! We also talk about bunnies and eggs - Sarah asks a question you wont believe! A bit of a trigger warning for this episode - We will give you a little warning in the episode before we talk about a sensitive topic regarding the big guy with the red suit - You might want to skip that bit if you have little ones listening!

Why Do Boys Do That?

Now we all know that Sarah is a "Never Nude" but it seems that everyone else in her household did not get the memo! We also chat about screen time and how it can be bad for our kids if THEY have too much of it, but what happens if you, as a parent, are spending too much time on your phone or device?

Well I wasn’t expecting that sad news. I love hearing all your parenting and family stories every week. I’ve laughed and cried listening to your antics. Your friendship is an envy to all that tune in every week. It’s very special to have a great friend. All good things come to an end but I really wish you girls were continuing on next year. Cheers
Don’t go
