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!

It's the question inundating group chats across the country...

When will our kids be vaccinated? 

Today Holly and Andrew are joined by Dr Paul Griffin, an infectious disease and immunisation expert. He sits down with us for a very candid conversation about kids and vaccination. He tells us why our kids have been left out of the rollout, what vaccines are best and when we can expect to see kids as young as toddlers get the jab.

Plus, on parenting mentors, how do we get the kids to clean their rooms!
