    Parents Anonymous: The Butt-Dial That Ended A Mothers Group

    Welcome to a brand new podcast from This Glorious Mess called Parents Anonymous.
    Part Church Confessional, part Game Show, this is where you share your deepest, darkest parenting confessions to get that guilt off your chest. We'll score each confession, and here at parents anonymous, the worst parenting moment wins the most points.
    To kick things off, we have three juicy secrets: a butt dial gone wrong, a dummy fairy incident, and a questionable donation.
    If you have a confession to share, leave us a voice note or email us at tgm@mamamia.com.au.

    Sleep Divorce & 3pm Dinner: Hacks For A Better Sleep

    Sleep Divorce & 3pm Dinner: Hacks For A Better Sleep

    We need to talk about sleep. Not your kids sleep - YOUR sleep.
    This episode Tegan and Annaliese share how the mental load impacts their sleep, and discuss how a "sleep divorce" could be the key to a good nights rest.
    Annaliese speaks to a sleep expert, leading to her full meltdown after learning about the mistakes she's been making and how we could all be doing better in the bedroom.
    Plus, Sarah Marie hears from a mom craving alone time but feeling like she'll never get it. 
    And, we hear from the regional mum who feeds her kids dinner at 3pm (yes you read that right) all in the name of calm afternoons and a better sleep routine.

    Do You Still Shower With Your Kids?

    Do You Still Shower With Your Kids?

    When was the last time you got the girls together for dinner? According to This Glorious Mess scientific data, it's likely been at least four months since your last social catch-up.
    In this episode, Libby and Tegan encourage mums to move their catch-ups from the group chat back into real life.
    And they discuss whether there's a specific age when you should stop being naked in front of your kids, questioning if it's necessary to set those boundaries just yet.
    Plus, stay tuned for a surprise announcement at the end of the show.

    The Mothers Groups Helping With Cost Of Living

    When Danni Duncan told her thousands of followers about her decision to be child-free, she was met with an outpouring of support followed by waves of negativity. Tegan gets behind the mic with Dani, asking the tough questions about her choice and how society has reacted.
    Plus Tegan and Libby share their valuable tips on sourcing second, third, and fourth-hand clothing. And how the key to navigating the cost of living crisis could lie within your mothers' group.
    In the recommendations, Tegan and Libby reach peak smugness as they suggest another cloth nappy and some garden tools. Who have they become?
