Are dads actually contributing more to the day-to-day parenting of their kids?

In this episode, Libby and Tegan explore the idea of ‘Dad Culture’ and how the mental load of parenting can and should be split between primary and secondary caregivers.

And have you ever noticed your child feeling a bit left out when their siblings have your attention? We chat about how we handle sibling rivalry and help one listener navigate it. 

Plus, in this week’s Nails & Fails, Tegan wants to normalise “butt talk” and Libby’s gearing up for a charity event and she needs Tegan’s help.

THE END BITS 

Tell us what you really think so we can give you more of what you really want. Fill out this survey and you’ll go in the running to win one of five $100 gift vouchers.
