Amy Gerard makes a parenting confession that will feel painfully familiar to many parents: bedtime at her house has become a nightly marathon involving stories, cuddles, celebrity gossip and lengthy negotiations with all three children.

On this episode of the Chris & Amy Podcast, Amy and Chris tackle the realities of modern parenting, from head lice outbreaks and bedtime routines to the surprising old-school habits Gen Z are bringing back in an increasingly digital world.

The conversation explores everything from printed photos, handwritten notes and landlines making a comeback, through to whether today's children are spending too much time online. Amy also opens up about the routines she's unintentionally created with her children and how difficult it can be to break parenting habits once they've become family traditions.

Plus, the team discuss Charlie Sheen's daughter speaking out about her OnlyFans career, Chris' ongoing battle with bush turkeys taking over his backyard, and a Facebook Mums Group post that sparks a bigger conversation about the rising cost of living and why so many Australian families still feel financially stretched despite earning good incomes.
