Welcome back to Mum Club 101, your virtual mum club where you come for the parenting truths but stay for the giggles! 🎙️

Episode Overview

In this episode of Mum Club 101, Katy shares a hilarious encounter with a 90s-style door-to-door salesperson. We dive into the Netflix series Adolescence and chat about the challenges of parenting teens in today’s digital world. Plus, we tackle whether AI is a help or hindrance for modern parents — and wrap it all up with a laugh-out-loud AI-powered toddler bedtime routine.

Mini Segment: What Netflix’s Adolescence Teaches Us About Parenting in a Digital Age

• We discuss the intense portrayal of parenting teenagers today, the world of extreme online content, and the real-life impact of social media on young people’s mental health.
• How do we, as parents, stay present and connected in a world full of digital noise?

Critique of the Week: Should We Be Using AI as a Parenting Tool?

• From AI-generated sleep schedules to chatbots giving parenting advice — are AI tools really helping parents, or are they adding to the overwhelm?
• We debate the pros, cons, and ethical questions of using AI to guide parenting decisions. Convenience, quick advice, tired-parent hacks vs loss of human connection, lack of empathy, AI’s inability to understand real-life context. Exploring the balance — can AI really replace real parenting instincts?

Nonsense Time: The AI-Powered Toddler Bedtime Routine (That Definitely Doesn’t Work)

• We attempt to imagine what bedtime would look like if run entirely by AI… spoiler: chaos. Think "if this doesn't work, proceed to step F."

📺 TV Recommendations

• Toxic Town — Netflix’s gripping drama based on real-life events — we share why every parent needs to watch this.
• The White Lotus — What’s all the hype about? Vicky’s verdict on whether it's worth the binge.

• You’ve ever felt lost trying to connect with your kids in today’s hyper-digital world.
• You just need a laugh at the ridiculousness of parenting life.
