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 If one boob is bigger than the other?! Why can't I get my tampon in??? I think I might be in love with my best friends brother?! 

These are just some of the questions Dr Melissa Kang answered during her 23 years working as the Dolly Doctor. Dr Kang knows better than anyone what's going through the minds of our adolescents. She joins Holly to chat about the biggest concerns facing our tweens and teens and if she thinks our kids have it worse off than they did 20 years ago.

Plus, this week on parenting mentors: What if my child is the nasty one?
