This Glorious Mess Says Goodbye To Leigh Campbell

A weekly look at parenting as it truly is: confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. Join Tegan Natoli and Libby Trickett every Monday as they discuss all the disasters and delights of parenting with a healthy dose of advice from our trusted experts.

Kids & Family

In case you missed it, (which would be highly unlikely) the Arj Barker comedy show caused quite a stir in the media last week. Tegan has very strong thoughts about babies at gigs, and Libby is Switzerland.
But there is one thing they both agree on, yes kids are kind of annoying when in public places.... But it's usually their own parents that find them the most annoying of all. 
And in recommendations Tegan is now a full blown gardener and Libby has found the perfect picnic rug for a family.

Planes, Escalators & A Comedy Show: The Mum Juggle

Ever thought about how to dodge a surprise baby once your family's set? While the usual suspects are contraception or the ol' snip for the guys, more women are opting for sterilisation. This week Libby and Tegan talk to a mum who just had the procedure, how she reached that decision and the reactions she's getting.
And later on they dive into a heated debate: Can you bail on a school concert right after their kid's performance? And who's the real arsehole here? Let the showdown begin!
