Katie reflects on a moment with the girls during instrument practice when she could not control her giggles and the girls felt she was laughing at them rather than laughing with them. There truly is a difference! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are differences between laughing with you and laughing at you

Just be an influencer then!

Rach can't believe she didn't tell Ellsie of the danger she was headed for which resulted in big regret. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Watch out for that........oh too late!

Katie's had enough of the mess involved in being creative so she's putting a stop to it! Particularly when she realises it's her expensive things being used for craft! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are not being creative anymore!

Katie has hit a stage in life where she doesn't want to keep doing mountains of washing, so now she selects what she thinks is dirty and returns the rest. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today I am sorting through dirty clothes and then returning them to your room!

Rach has a moment of reflection when she is offered some food and turns it down because she doesn’t like the texture of it. In this one moment she then realises she's the reason why Ellsie is picky with food! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reflection is such a great parenting tool

Katie had the temptation to scare the household whilst she was away with the click of one button, but didn’t want to run the risk of the babysitter walking out on the kids! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Would you scare your kids for a laugh?

Rach is full of guilt after missing the first music concert that she tried so hard to make. Is it ok to just be angry with everyone?! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm so sorry I missed your concert!

Rach asks the question, is it ok to let the kids skip school if they need a day to recoup? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lets skip school today

Katie is sick of the arguments and stress that's caused by homework so she decides it has to be done well away from her! And is it ok to admit the maths is already above her?! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's it, we're banning homework!

Katie’s plan to holiday without the kids has her questioning whether she feels bad about it or whether she is ok with it and knows adult time away is good for the whole family. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kids guess what? We are going on a holiday!

Rach adjusts to term 1 back to school routines and admits she has eased her way back into things - including lunches See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Does anyone actually like lunch preparation in the morning?

We chat about the regret pouring out of Katie every night when the girls get out their musical instruments to practice! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

5 minutes maximum that’s it......

Rachel asks the question, how do you loosen the reigns on the kids now they are a whole year older. She seems to think a watch will be the answer! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Check in, 20 minutes from now!

Katie battles another round of issues with screen time and over use on devices again with her girls.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Go on, hand them over!
