What’s been your least favourite phase of parenting?

In this episode, Tegan and Libby look back on the stages of parenthood they've experienced so far and agree on one phase in particular being the worst, and it’s not what you’d expect.

And if you're exhausted about worrying about every member of you families feelings, same. Libby and Tegan dive into the mental load of parenting 'feelings first'.

Plus, Libby had a special guest join her in this episode, and we count that as her nail of the week.
