Baby Johnson #3 is about to arrive any minute now. (Hopefully, before Matty J lets slip the inducement date, IYKYK). The girls are PUMPED for a baby sister. 

So, it's time to get the nursery ready and make room for the baby, and there's only one place you turn to when going through a clean-out: Facebook Marketplace. So far, it's been a total nightmare. 

There's also been a thief who's infiltrated the household, and the finger is pointed at Marlie-Mae. 

Ash is about to tear his hair out because Oscar is obsessed with Beyblades and somehow, it's tearing the family apart. 

We also answer your parenting questions: 

• Things you should never say to a parent!  
• If your child was invited to a joint party, do you gift both kids?

Tayla Montoya is an Italian mum from "The Area" who happens to be married to a Bulldogs football player, Marcello. 

After a whirlwind pregnancy, Tayla and Marc welcomed their twin girls, Tiana and Milan, almost a year ago. 

But before the girls entered the world, mum would have to go through a type of miscarriage that only 1 out of every 1000 women experience.

Ash has given Oscar, 6, a fresh new look as he prepares for Book Week (when does it end!)

Despite a crazy skiing injury, the (in)famous big sister Kate has finally made her way onto the show, and Matty J is shaking in his crocs!

Kate is mum to 3 kids and often shares the aunty load with little bro Matty J - both live down the street from one another. 

Ash does a fantastic job of digging up the dirt on Matty J and reveals something that not even the Daily Mail could uncover!

Apologies in advance for the renovations! Don't be alarmed if you hear them in the background.

It's the Big Dog's 35th birthday, and this year, Matty J spoils him rotten! (It's definitely not because he forgot for a second year in a row...) 

Matt was also late for the recording because he was watching his little girl Marlie-Mae MC on stage for the first time! 

Oscar attempts to help Dad with a roof leak, and bless his cotton socks, it's the worst attempt at help a dad could ask for. 

We also get into your Par-Rants for this week, where you air out your parenting grievances.

We also answer your questions: 

• My child has a phobia of cheese and butter. Any phobia tips?! 
• Have you ever caught your kids out on a lie?

Blakey Johnston looks like a Viking, walks around barefoot, and once surfed for 40 hours straight to raise awareness for mental health.

A former pro surfer, dad of two, and the guy who surfed for 40 hours straight to raise awareness for mental health, Blakey opens up about the loss of his dad to suicide and what came after.

We get a glimpse into his world as a parent still figuring it out, juggling grief, school drop-offs, and the pressure to keep it together when life’s anything but.

Ash has made another grand purchase this week (must be nice!), and it's taken him many years to get to this point. 

He also took Oscar and Macy to a Manly Sea Eagles game, and let's just say it was a new experience for his little girl. 

The Johnson's nip up to Cairns to enjoy a last-minute holiday as a family of four before it becomes five! The kids, of course, relished every moment (not). 

We also answer your questions: 

• Is it okay to dislike your friend's kid?
• What is the most unhinged thing that’s happened to you as a parent?
