Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is - confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises!

What are the rules in your house? Does everyone need to make their beds? Maybe your kids have to cook dinner one night a week? Or maybe you have no rules at all! 

Each week on the Mamamia site we share a different parent’s five golden rules. It’s a series that gives a pervy look inside the lives of Aussie families.  So today Holly and Andrew are sharing their own. 

Plus this week's parenting mentors question, what do you do when your child is petrified of dogs?
