    Milestone tracking: Guide or guilt trip?

    Welcome back to Mum Club 101, your virtual mum club where you come for parenting truths but stay for the giggles! 🎙️ In this week’s episode: Catch-Up: Katy shares a parenting win—resisting the urge to helicopter-parent while Izzy was under the weather, letting dad take charge instead. We also dive into the ever-present pressure to look younger, debating the pros and cons of retinol vs. Botox. Critique of the Week: Milestone tracking—does it guide parents or just pile on guilt?  We talk about the pressure parents feel when their child doesn’t hit a milestone "on time," fuelled by health checkups, social media comparisons, and well-meaning comments from family. Instead of spiralling, we’re reframing milestones as flexible markers, sharing expert insights and practical tips to help parents trust their instincts and celebrate their child’s unique journey.

    Happy Christmas Eve Eve

    Merry Christmas Mum Clubbers! This week in Mum Club 101 we gear up for the holidays and catch up on recent festivities. In ‘critique of the week’ we discuss "What is the right way to split domestic chores with a partner?" Research by starling bank shows that typical couple will do 63 hours of unpaid household chores each week, but only 29% of couples share these tasks equally. When it comes to Christmas, the tasks – the hosting, present-buying and cooking – all amp up. They asked 14 couples to share exactly how they split the domestic load. The percentages, and how each couple feels about them, are incredibly revealing. In ‘nonsense time’ segment we giggle at Christmas Party Stories - Part 2. We would love to hear from you!
