Am I A Bad Parent?

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*

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?

Louis is back from camp and put some of the skills he had learned to good use at home even though Cath wished he didn't!

Speaking of lies, Sarah got caught red handed, quite literally!

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?

Sarah had a run in with her kids swimming instructor this week and we are still not sure who's side to be on...

Cath's son faked a sick day so he could stay home from school and the consequences were that he had to stay home with his mum. Bad move kid, bad move.

And what did someone on the team start that they wished they hadn't?
