Kelly and Kee are eating humble pie. Because a single mum slid into their DMs and (very politely) pointed out what happens when you say “just keep your sick kid home”… but you don’t have a partner, family nearby, or anyone to tag in. So we brought her on.

Meet Alice: solo mum to an 8-year-old, running a one-woman household with zero backup. We talk the relentless mental load, the stuff that keeps single mums up at night, the stigma (and double standards), and the kind of support that actually helps. Consider this an apology, a perspective shift, and a reminder to include single mums properly - not as an afterthought.
