About this episode

The episode discusses parenting topics including playgrounds, viral internet drama, and the role of favourite aunts in children's lives.

Grace Rouvray is back this week, alongside Stacey Hicks and Amelia Lester as we remember Dolly Parton and consider the roles 'favourite aunts' have in our child's lives.  Plus, Stacey takes us deep into the viral 'Oreo-gate' drama to reveal why the internet’s favourite mum group feud is almost certainly fake. And, we’re rating two new playgrounds — including a wine-barrel setup and a slide that simulates the sinking Titanic.
