This week comedians Helen Thorn and Ellie Gibson AKA The Scummy Mummies take a seat at the Mothers' Meeting. Together they discuss their parenting peeves and explain why roast potato and coke-a-cola can be a deadly combination. They also offer some incredible bedtime hacks and myth busting facts (sort of) about talcum powder vs corn flour. Louise reveals some details about her own difficult childhood and poses a tricky question: when is it okay to intervene if parents are rough with their children in public?
