Sara Cox & Clare Hamilton are back in the shed with more tales of mind-foggling teen behaviour.
Sara and her husband had a romantic weekend away which meant her teens were given a tedious TED talk on how to lock doors and feed cats.
Clare’s son has accused her of spamming his phone and Sara’s connecting with her son through the medium of badly angled gym videos. And why do teenagers decide that midnight is the best time for an in-depth parental chat?
Prom season is upon us, so bank balances are being decimated with splashing the cash on dresses, make up & hair-ups! When did this become such a big thing and why the heck is it so expensive?
Plus, Sara and Clare’s teens are trying to be independent but calling them with the most random of questions.
What’s the most bizarre question your teens, aka ‘adult babies’, have asked you?
