This week, we’re talking helicopter parenting vs fuck-around-and-find-out parenting, and whether the way your motherhood journey begins shapes the way you parent forever.

We dive into premature birth, NICU trauma, overprotectiveness, mum guilt, asking for help and why our kids save their absolute worst behaviour for us.

Plus, there’s Kmart therapy, poo in the bath, sibling justice, crab hunting at French Island that ends in muddy bums, and the usual amount of oversharing.

Funny, emotional and slightly cooked — just how we like it.

This week on The Loud Mums Club, we're covering everything from my first call to the Poison Hotline (because apparently that's a parenting rite of passage) to the surprisingly controversial topic of sharing kids online.

We chat about raising boys versus girls, what actually makes a great dad, whether affirmations are genius or just a bit cringe, and ask the important question: are we judgmental... or just opinionated?

We also dive into nicknames, village etiquette (would you tell your friend's kid off?), family mantras, finding yourself after becoming a mum, and why the internet has made parenting both easier and infinitely more complicated.

It's honest, hilarious, thought-provoking, and just the right amount of unhinged.

Grab a coffee, pour a wine, or hide in the pantry for half an hour—you're among friends.

Is sleep training the answer... or does it just depend on the child?

This week I'm joined by Steph, mum of two, as we dive into one of parenting's biggest debates. We chat about sleep training, autism, postpartum depression, trusting your gut, and why no two kids are ever the same. It's an honest, funny, and refreshingly judgement-free conversation that every parent can relate to.
