Amy Breaks Down Over a Daughter Who Cut Her Mum Off


Listen Later

It’s a fiery, emotional, and very real Sunday with Chris & Amy as the show dives straight into summer memories, bushfire trauma, and the ultimate parenting heartbreak — Amy reading a Facebook Mums Group post about a daughter who’s cut off her mum… and spiralling into tears because it hits way too close to home.

The team unpacks teen daughters, split-family politics, and the minefield that is Christmas Day scheduling — including Amy going head-to-head with Ryan over whose family gets the coveted 25th this year.

Chris shares the chaos of raising his little hell-raiser Oscar, who’s gone from locking school toilets to suddenly becoming the teacher’s favourite student. And Amy has her own parenting win after receiving a wholesome message about Bobby being an angel at a party (despite treating her like his personal punching bag at home).

Plus: adult cartoon crushes, Zootopia thirst, AI relationships, and Chris accidentally building an AI girlfriend live on air.
