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

This week, Tegan and Leigh speak to Mia Northrop and Dinah Rowe-Roberts, authors of Life Admin Hacks, the step-by-step guide to saving time and money, reducing the mental load and streamlining your life. With mum's generally shouldering the mental load in households, how can both parents make sure life admin is simplified and shared?

Plus this week's listener dilemma is from a parent who's child's social anxiety is severely affecting their life.
