Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is - confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises!

In your house what are the rules? 

Does everyone have to make their beds? Are there no screens at the dinner table? Maybe no one is allowed to keep secrets? 

Yumi Stynes, podcaster, broadcaster, author and mum to four joins Holly and Andrew to share her golden rules for parents. And believe us, these rules will nourish your soul. 

Plus, on parenting mentors - what do you do when your fifteen year old wants to start drinking?
