Being an honorary "aunty" is a very prestigious role. But is it also essential for your kid to have adults outside of their blood family that they can trust?

Also, we talk to a mum who's just become an empty nester about the particular pain of your kid no longer listing you as their "next of kin".

And - just how much sleep does your kid need? And how the hell do you make them get it?

“I Would Never Let My Kids Do What I Did Growing Up”

On todays very special episode Tegan & Libby sit down with podcast duo 'Sassy' Scott O'Halloran to hear the incredible story of how he became a father.

This episode Scott shares the story of how he and his partner Marcus navigated the world of surrogacy, a journey that took six years and cost half a million dollars. 

And Uncle Luke the biology nerd goes head to head with his brother to figure out who knows more about babies!
