We've got a fresh episode of Parenting Out Loud for you. Because if parents are thinking about it, we're talking about it.

On the show today, Jessie Stephens, Amelia Lester and Stacey Hicks join forces to chat all things including: 

👩 'I abandoned my family without warning. It was the best thing I ever did.' We dive into the article that went viral on site this week and we have lots of thoughts. 
🍼 Why more families than ever are wanting daughters over sons - what's behind this fascinating shift? 
💚 Plus, do you have a DFK? Were you a DFK? And WTF is a DFK? Dr Becky's latest parenting trend explained.
🤸 And, are you in trampoline denial? 

Plus, in this week’s reccos:

📝 Amelia wants you to try Spirograph Drawing and Design Set
🧸 Jessie wants you to listen to the podcast Eat Sleep Repeat 
📚 Stacey wants you to make this recipe-less crowd favourite meal, just cook lamb mince with cumin, paprika in a fry pan. Throw some potato and zucchini in the air fryer (or oven) and a dollop of tzatziki to finish it all off.
