    So, Yeah. Turns Out THIS Is The Very Last Parenting Taboo

    Is a mum's job ever done? That's the question that's come off the back of a viral moment from the Wuthering Heights press tour after its star Jacob Elordi was spotted doing something that has everyone talking. Monz, Stacey, and special guest Luca Lavigne debate whether this red carpet incident was a sweet moment for Jacob and his mum or... totally gross.  Plus, Claire Danes just said the quiet part out loud about what's being touted as the very last parenting taboo. So, how would you feel about a surprise pregnancy at 44? The internet has its opinions — and so do our hosts.  And, is a clear bench top the only thing standing between you and a cortisol spike? From 'CleanTok' to 'Sunday Reset', domestic drudgery on social media is undergoing a rebrand with a surprising cohort leading the charge.  Our Recommendations: 💆 Stacey is obsessed with @toupeequeen. A new TikTok niche she's discovered of Toupee application videos.  🎨 Monz recommends creating 'something crap' in front of your kids to break the cycle of perfectionism and celebrate the power of making mistakes. 🧚 Luca is loving the dummy fairy, as the ultimate strategic ally for transitioning toddlers away from their pacifiers.

    Michelle Obama’s Parenting Truth Bomb & A Middle Finger To Mothers

    Michelle Obama spoke about a very specific kind of reality check on the Call Her Daddy podcast: the exact moment you realise you’re no longer the main character in your child’s life. Monz is feeling this deeply and Amelia and Stacey unpack precisely why it hits so hard. Plus, a viral video of an airport lounge meltdown has us asking whether we've lost the ability to handle conflict without reaching for our phone. We dive into the rise of "public shaming" and whether we’re all just one bad day away from being filmed giving someone the finger.  And, move over “rawdogging boredom”, is “slow vacuuming” the new mindfulness trend? Monz is deep into this one but Amelia and Stacey remain firmly unconvinced. Our Recommendations: 🖼️ Stacey is obsessed with the renter-friendly Smarty Pals magnetic wall decals. 🍽️ Monz is loving the Marion's Kitchen Green Thai Curry It comes in a box with instructions even a 5 year old could follow. 🎾Amelia is loving backyard tennis from KMART for some family totem tennis with a serve of nostalgia.

    The Clicker Test That Changes Everything & Our 'Public Nuisance' Park Fight

    Are you an intensive millennial parent who feels stressed and burnt out? This week, we introduce the “Click Test,” which Amelia claims will change parenting for the better. Meanwhile, Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell are taking an unconventional approach — why they are raising their children to be "intentionally disrespectful".  Plus, Monz had a park fight with a man who told her to "get some f***ing control" because her kids were being, well, kids. We debate society's growing intolerance for children in public and ask 'Who's The A*****e?' And finally, we’re checking on our parents. Why are the older generation spending half their waking hours staring at screens, and why are they the most vulnerable group for online scams? Our Recommendations: 💍 Stacey is obsessed with a charm necklace from Gimme. 💸 Monz recommends the K18 Airwash Dry Shampoo. 🛍️ Amelia is loving her free calendar from the chemist, which helps her and her kids to visualise their holiday plans.

'Other people's parenting nearly ruined my holiday. So now I'm a half-arsed parent.' 'I've finally cracked the code to screen time, and it only took this one thing.'

    Bluey's Hottest Character & The Out-Of-Control Cost of Competition

    Parenting comes with big ideas, cultural moments and the occasional guilty pleasure, and this week we’re unpacking all three. Are fancy lollies the new Labubus? Stacey thinks this might be another sign adults are craving whimsy. Plus, Amelia has declared Bluey’s dad Bandit a certified DILF, and we dig into why hot dads are suddenly everywhere. And finally, Monz asks the hard question: has kids sport officially got out of control? Between fees, uniforms and weekend travel, is the cost of competition the newest victim of cozzie livs? Our Recommendations: 🚘 Stacey recommends the Kmart portable folding lap desk for just $13, a road trip game-changer with a built-in storage lid. ✋ Monz wants you to try a specific greeting when you bump into other mums on a walk or run — a free, instant mood booster!

    The Precise Reason We Need To Reverse The Parent-Child Hierarchy

    Friends, do you too have a box of keepsakes? Perhaps teeny tiny socks, some pre-school era artworks, maybe even some old baby teeth or twenty? Well your parents might have been a collector and we pitch that perhaps there’s some truth to this form of maximalism.  Plus, are we rushing kids out of childhood? Experts are saying that to delay delay delay when it comes to kids’ first years of school but there are some serious things missing from that theory which we’re going to talk about.  And, why we might just need to reverse the parent/child hierarchy and force our kids to fit into our schedules. Monz, Stacey and Amelia make the argument that our friend catch ups and our schedules are JUST as important as Timmy’s 3 hour soccer practice.  Our Recommendations: 💌 Stacey recommends a Meghan-esque parenting hack to capture the moments you might otherwise forget.  📚 Amelia recommends The Crucial Years to help guide those tricky conversations about sex and puberty with your kids. 💄 Monz is all about the lanoplips 12 hr overnight lip mask. Support independent women's media What To Listen To Next:  Don't miss an episode of Parenting Out Loud Connect your subscription to Apple Podcasts What to read:  'I'm being told to delay my son's start at school, so I went and got the facts.' Meghan Markle writes a letter every night. They won't be opened for years. Exactly how much it costs to put kids through school in 2025. 'I got a small pay rise at work. Our childcare fees are now crippling us.' 'I've cracked the childcare code during the school holidays (and no, it's not vacation care).' Does it still take a village to raise a child? We asked 20 mums. 'Say goodbye to your Saturday mornings!' 7 parents and an expert on kids' extracurriculars.
