SUMMER LISTENING: Stealth Mums, The Roblox Controversy & A Tiny Internet Feud

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

On Parenting Out Loud this week:

• The rise of the stealth mum. From Margot Robbie's press tour to your work colleague who's never mentioned having kids, we're exploring why hiding motherhood has become the new cultural currency.
• Plus, praising your child is a fraught business. Do you compliment their efforts, their appearance, their creations? Perhaps millennial parents are overthinking things... again. We discuss.
• And, there's a tiny internet feud happening on Facebook that we need to talk about.

Plus, our recommendations:

📺 Stacey wants you to watch Unknown Number: The High School Catfish on Netflix

🗞️ Amelia recommends getting back into reading an oldschool newspaper.

🍽️ And Monz has got a viral two ingredient recipe she needs you to try. Just some beef bolar blade (a cut of beef), some char siu sauce. Turn on the slow cooker and chuck it all in there-the entire jar and everything. Put the lid on, turn it on low for 8-10 hours and you've got a succulent Chinese meal.
