Whether it’s dating or that colleague with the grating habit, we’ve all experienced “the ick”—but did you know parenting can reveal a whole new set of unexpected ones?

In this episode, Annaliese and Tegan reflect on their own shameful “icks,” from old ones they’re not proud of to surprising new ones that have emerged since becoming parents. They also share how they’re working to keep these quirks from turning into full-blown red flags.

Plus, we hear from parents across Australia on how they handle the ever-challenging dinner time routine!
