Bumpie Group Chat: a case for a mental load holiday, what is adult gift etiquette nowadays, the dummy has officially been ditched and can I discipline my friend’s kids?
About this episode
The episode discusses the concept of mental load holidays, gift etiquette for adults, parenting challenges, and the appropriateness of disciplining a friend's child.
We kick off this week’s Bumpie Group Chat episode with a petition for mandatory seasonal Mental Load Holidays. Can you imagine!? Sophie is staying with her parents for the school holidays and she’s finding parenting way more manageable. We also chat about… Is most of the day-to-day of parenting actually made challenging by our mental load, not necessarily the kids themselves? Jayde wants to know what is the etiquette these days when it comes to giving gifts? If you’re attending an adult’s birthday, what is the protocol!? Speaking of celebrating, partying in your 30s hits different. No amount of Hydralite made a difference for Jayde over the weekend. Whether it’s a hangover, exhaustion or a babysitter, we discuss how the cost of a night out is high these days. So, is it worth it? Jayde’s had a UTI and has learned an important lesson Sophie’s back with an exciting update - Pearl has officially ditched the dummy! We chat about a contentious AITA - is it okay to discipline a friend’s child? What is okay and what is an overstep? This episode is proudly sponsored by iL Tutto and their new Mocha colourway.
