Jayde had a rough time with a hospital visit for her daughter, but will be on the up once she packs her bags (last minute, of course) for a girl’s trip. We chat about… Sophie’s at THAT stage of the school holidays - whimsy has been knocked down a peg thanks to fevers, sleep deprivation and sibling rivalry Jayde’s feeling fried after Mia going in for surgery - there is something so gut-wrenching about seeing your child go under On a lighter note, Jayde is off to the US with a friend this weekend for a music concert! Why do we go into preparation overdrive when we leave our kids with their other very capable parent!? We share some Bumpie’s hilarious and awkward stories about their puberty, sex and dating chats after our episode with Pippin Girl earlier this week Someone has sent in an AITA - should she have let her friend soak up the congrats for her first pregnancy before she announced her own?
