Right, so… this one’s a bit of a biggie.

Lauren’s got some life updates (yes, those ones), and we’re chatting all about what it actually feels like to close a chapter and start fresh.

There’s no gossip, just real talk, some proper emotion, and the kind of mate support that makes you cry and laugh in the same breath.

Oh, and obviously there’s a wasp incident, a golf trip, and a deep chat about unfamiliar penises.

Standard.

Highlights:

(03:01) Fred’s four-hour assessment chaos

(12:42) Golf clubs, wasps and Peppa Pig

(21:50) Cricket match or fight night?

(27:03) Lauren drops the life update bomb

(34:08) Dancing on the beach at sunset

(36:14) Terrified of new penises, thanks

Right, so this week we’re chatting gentle parenting - or at least attempting it while dragging kids out of soft play and trying not to lose our minds in the middle of the summer holidays.

If you’ve ever said “use your kind hands” while quietly losing the plot, this one's for you.

Highlights:

(06:15) The nursery drop-off drama (and bra strap grip)

(08:42) The Homer Simpson exit move

(13:52) Eva’s emotional graduation (cue the Matilda song)

(18:06) Freddie’s unexpected toilet announcement

(27:28) Dragged him out by the feet

(31:08) Nicking a balloon off a baby

We said we weren’t going to chat about books or weird stuff again… but here we are.

Kayleigh’s got a dodgy boob, Lauren’s dealing with stale biscuits, and we’re squeezing this episode in before a doctor’s appointment.

It's a quick one today, but we’re talking about self care - not the spa day version, the real-life, everyday stuff that actually keeps you going when you’re knee-deep in motherhood, chaos, and dry shampoo.

Highlights:

(00:40) Kayleigh’s got a rashy boob situation

(05:02) Stale biscuits and fizzy boob flashbacks

(08:30) Summer holiday plans scrapped for Devon instead

(13:05) Lauren’s ideal self care day = no one home

(18:15) Post-baby self care = brushing your teeth

(21:10) The silent shower cry we’ve all done

We’re back and catching up after a couple of weeks apart - and honestly, it’s chaos from the get-go.

We’re discussing kids being sent to school in the wrong outfit, accidentally leaving your baby in a shop (and nearly knocking a stack of custard creams), and there’s a full mental load rant incoming.

It’s one of those episodes where we’re laughing through the madness, chatting about what it really means to go from ‘me’ to ‘we’ in motherhood - and yep, the husbands are getting called out.

Highlights:

(02:51) Lauren forgets Sports Day... obviously

(14:33) Kayleigh’s birthday surprise

(20:09) The default parent rage is real

(27:07) Pub garden freedom ruined

(30:41) Forgot the pram, just left the baby

(38:02) “Me to we” chaos and confessions

Right, this episode is a bit of a special one because we’ve got an actual best mate on - Christina Horn from Raising Rebels.

We’ve been friends for, like, 25 years, which makes me feel ancient, but anyway - she’s unreal.

Christina’s a Mum of three, a teacher, and she’s got this knack for explaining kids' behaviour in a way that actually makes sense.

No fluff, no judgment - just proper, helpful stuff that makes you go, “Ohhh, that’s why they do that.”

We covered loads - tantrums, tech, why sharing might actually be a load of sh** - it’s a long one, but honestly, we could’ve gone for hours.

Enjoy!

Highlights:

(07:13) Why we’re over ‘seen and not heard’

(25:28) The iPad is not the villain

(31:38) 10 mins a day changes everything

(58:51) Telling them what to do works

(61:01) If parenting feels hard - you’re not mad
