Episode summary

Join Kylie and Sarah who discuss the four main parenting styles and how we all strive for the best, but often have epic fails. Sarah shares all of her Italian brainrot knowledge - which Kylie knows nothing about. They both get frustrated about how they are the only ones who pick anything up off the stairs (hear about the legendary stair basket) and Sarah reveals how she doesn’t really like her instagram name anymore.
