Think back to your child's biggest meltdown – maybe it happened right in the middle of a supermarket, or on one of those days where your own emotions were just as high. The truth is, as parents, we’re not that different. We have our own breakdowns, struggling to regulate our emotions in this tough world. While kids can get away with a cuddle to calm them down, we’re expected to just keep going. Its rude.... and unfair! 

In this week's episode, Annaliese and Tegan share their own child-like meltdowns and ask the question: Are adults really any better than kids at keeping their emotions in check?
