Parenting definitely comes with its fair share of complaints. If it were a business, weâd all be asking to speak to the manager - long hours, little appreciation, and a never-ending workload. But, every now and then, something magical happens in those moments that makes it the best job in the world.
In this episode, Annaliese and Tegan dive into their parenting regrets and reasons. Of course, it wouldnât be This Glorious Mess without a perfect mix of light and shade.
Plus, Sarah Marie has a unique take on a tricky work dilemma and we hear how one mum is completely reimagining dinner time to better suit her childâs needs.

And why, you may ask, do we need all seven to maintain the delicate balance of this daily dance? Stay with us, as we uncover the answers.

Have you ever felt deep gratitude toward an object? Todayâs guest, Nicolle Stuart, discovered the Thermomix during her first pregnancy.
Initially, it made her feel like one of those aspirational mum-fluencers she followed on Instagram. But when breastfeeding struggles brought overwhelming guilt, the Thermomix became more than just an applianceâit helped ease the mental load and alleviate that all-too-common mother guilt.
Todayâs story shows that love and appreciation can be found in the most unexpected places - we just need to be open to seeing them.

Are you the default parent? Chances are the answer is yes - the one your kids ask for everything, or the one carrying the administrative mental load.
Tegan and Annaliese have conducted investigative research and discovered that being the default parent could actually have some adverse side effects on your relationship and your mental health and it's time we talk about it.
Plus, Sarah Marie is back to addresses a very relatable problem about splitting the load on the return to work but warning - this one comes with very little empathy.
And, we hear from a parent of a special needs child about how she is making dinner inclusive for the whole family on this week's Dinner Time.

With the news often highlighting the darker side of what men are capable of, raising a boy in 2024 can feel daunting and lets be honest a little bit anxiety-inducing.
Annaliese and Tegan, both moms to boys, are inspired by these challenges to teach their sons how to be good partners, sons, and friends.
Plus, Sarah Marie tackles a rather cringy problem: why do we insist on asking if a 4-year-old has a boyfriend or girlfriend? They're just four!
