    Parenting… far out…it’s not for the faint hearted. No one tells you when you hold that adorable baby in your arms that one day they’ll be eye rolling and flipping you the bird.

    Parenting fails are a given and the Motherload is real.

    We share some stories of our own and the lovely Alison from “The Art of Being a Mum” imparts some wise words from other mums who are on this rollercoaster with us.

    Check out her podcast!

    Unpopular opinions- we all have them, and on this episode we share some of ours. 

    Also, amongst other things, we share what we really think about the controversial piece of art adorning Glenelg and the divisive show Parental Guidance. 

    Little language warning on this one. Not for small ears or those with an aversion to a well placed f bomb. Is that unpopular? 🤔

    We squeezed in an episode by the skin of our teeth, just before a 7 day lockdown here in SA.

    This week we talk about getting the JAB - the Covid Jab, not the other kind.

    We also continue our chat about being mediocre and raising avo’s (children, not avocados).

    Plus we laugh at our own jokes and swear a bit too.

    Shits and giggles all round. Lucky for Abbie that she stole some toilet paper.

    Ps…If you’re keen to listen to the full interview of Ash Barty’s coach (it’s only a few minutes long) you can see it here….
