SUMMER LISTENING: Dr Becky's DFK Theory & The Great Trampoline Debate

This summer we've curated your Baby Bubble playlist with a healthy dose of culture-savvy conversation parents actually want - Parenting Out Loud.

On the show today, Jessie Stephens, Amelia Lester and Stacey Hicks join forces to chat all things including:

👩 'I abandoned my family without warning. It was the best thing I ever did.' We dive into the article that went viral on site this week and we have lots of thoughts.
🍼 Why more families than ever are wanting daughters over sons - what's behind this fascinating shift?
💚 Plus, do you have a DFK? Were you a DFK? And WTF is a DFK? Dr Becky's latest parenting trend explained.
🤸 And, are you in trampoline denial?

Plus, in this week’s reccos:

📝 Amelia wants you to try Spirograph Drawing and Design Set
🧸 Jessie wants you to listen to the podcast Eat Sleep Repeat
📚 Stacey wants you to make this recipe-less crowd favourite meal, just cook lamb mince with cumin, paprika in a fry pan. Throw some potato and zucchini in the air fryer (or oven) and a dollop of tzatziki to finish it all off.

What to read:

• 'I abandoned my family without warning. It was the best thing I ever did.'
• 'I didn't realise gender disappointment was a thing in pregnancy, until I admitted I had it.'
• What you should do if your child gets injured on the trampoline.
• "My adult child was suffering, but I had to step back for my own health.”
• There's one question we're all asking since watching Adolescence. An expert just answered it.
