About this episode
The hosts discuss various parenting topics including the necessity of yearly birthday parties, solo parenting challenges, and navigating family values with children.
Bumpies, today really is a mixed bag, so strap in for this rollercoaster. We discuss everything from vaping to religion, if we actually need yearly birthday parties for kids and the most beautiful ‘just you wait’ moments that had us tearing up. We dive into… It’s Week 2 of Harry being away - how is Jayde going this week with solo parenting? The mental load around extra-curricular activities and why it can be anxiety inducing The classic trap of who has it harder and why we probably need to take that straight to couple’s counselling 😅 Possibly controversial, but should we veto yearly birthday parties for kids…? Sophie posted a positive ‘just you wait’ moment on Instagram and the comment section definitely passed the vibe check! We have a new AITA and it’s a Bumpie wondering if it’s okay to try and sway her teenager’s friendships - is it for the good of your child or does it become dangerous territory? What do you do when your child wants black and white answers around family values? Sophie’s daughter wants to know about religion and it’s bringing up big discussions in the Pearce household This episode is proudly sponsored by iL Tutto and their Easter Sale with up to 50% off…
