  • The Celebrity Who Loves Bad Kids & The Sibling Effect

    The Celebrity Who Loves Bad Kids & The Sibling Effect
    Mar 27 2026
    Have you ever seen a video online that made you feel like you were failing at a job you didn't even apply for? Welcome to parenting in 2026. This week, Monique Bowley, Stacey Hicks and special guest, Clare Stephens, are diving into a viral trend romanticising the bond between young siblings—and it's left some only-child parents feeling a little judged. Plus, we discuss the basketball coach who went viral for screaming in a player's face. Was it ‘toxic’ or exactly the kind of high-stakes motivation our ‘gentle parenting’ era is missing? And, if your child throws a tantrum in the middle of a busy shopping centre or sticks their fingers in someone else's birthday cake, they may have a fan in award-winning actress Viola Davis. We explain why. Our Recommendations: 🏀 Monz is loving this Amazon Lock Phone Box. 📖 Clare recommends midwife Jen on Instagram @_jen_hamilton_ 🧴 Stacey is loving the COSRX Snail mucin power essence.

  • The Bad Habit That's Back & The Politics Of ‘Bagsing’

    The Bad Habit That's Back & The Politics Of ‘Bagsing’
    Mar 20 2026

    Today, the rise of the Gen Alpha CEO is officially in full swing as Victoria Beckham’s daughter, Harper Seven, launches a beauty brand at 13. Monz, Stacey and Amelia ask at what point we decided teenagers need a corner office and a dedicated PR team instead of just... a hobby.

    Plus, is ‘bagsing’ a spot in the playground slide queue ever acceptable, or have we officially lost our collective marbles? We unpack the world of park politics, optimisation and whether it’s just another form of snow-plough parenting.

    Also, is it time to start running your home like a large corporation? We’re diving into the ‘family AGM’ trend and why the shareholders in one host’s house are very unhappy.

    Our Recommendations:

    🥞 Stacey is loving the viral ‘potcake’ hack from TikTok, which involves flipping a whole saucepan to create the perfect pancake stack.

    📖 Monz recommends Meltdown by Lauren Novak, a well-researched deep dive into ‘mum rage’ that makes every burnt-out parent feel seen.

    📺 Amelia recommends SNL's MAHAspital, a comedic take on The Pitt, describing the medical drama as ‘competency porn’ for those who love watching experts excel at their jobs.

  • New Twin Dad Luca Enters The Chat & Divorce Just Got A Rebrand

    New Twin Dad Luca Enters The Chat & Divorce Just Got A Rebrand
    Mar 13 2026
    Move over "conscious uncoupling". Divorce is getting a rebrand. This week, Monique Bowley, Stacey Hicks and Amelia Lester unpack Hollywood Actor Lake Bell’s unconventional approach to explaining her split to her kids. So, why is she banning the word ‘but,’ and is she onto something? Plus, Australian influencer Indy Clinton has gone viral for struggling with her sons kindergarten times tables, and honestly? Same. So, is homework still a thing in 2026 or is it time to let kids just be kids? And, a viral post by Jana Barrett has the internet talking about the invisible labor behind every successful man. He got the trophy, she got the school run. It has us asking, do we all deserve a medal for carrying the mental load? And our very own Jessie Stevens and Luca Lavigne are officially parents of three after twins Harry and Margot came into the world slightly earlier than planned. Luca checks in from the NICU 'baby bubble' to tell us how they’re navigating life as a family of five. Our Recommendations: 💇‍♀️ Stacey is obsessed with The Wavytalk thermal blow dry brush for a smooth, salon-style finish. 📚 Amelia recommends the Babysitter’s Little Sister graphic novels. 📝 Monz has been hit hard by Darragh Fleming’s poem ‘If I Ever Have Boys’.
