Ever heard of a therian?

Not to be confused with a furry, the rise of children identifying as animals has left some parents with questions.

Is Your Child A Therian?

Mum guilt—it's something most of us have heard about. But what about Dad guilt? Does it exist?

Annaliese and Tegan take a deep dive into their own experiences with Mum guilt, exploring where it stems from. To get the Dad perspective, they brought back resident dad Thom Lion to share whether dads feel the same weight of guilt.

Plus, a few of Mamamia's own dads shared their honest take... The results might surprise you and definitely give you something to think about.

Mum Guilt Can Get In The Bin

We all want to raise good kids. But do you ever worry that maybe you're raising an arsehole?

On today's episode of This Glorious Mess from the archives, Holly and Andrew discuss if raising an asshole is avoidable or if as parents, maybe we will never truly know if we've raised an asshole until someone else points it out. 

And on parenting mentors, should you ever intervene when your friend's kid is acting up?

A parent keeps a close eye on the gifts coming into the house—it might feel like extra admin, but it's undeniably clever. Speaking of clever, one mum has cracked the code for those insufferable "home-baked treats" requests at school fetes. And, in an impressive feat, a couple transforms into wizard-like time lords to carve out more alone time.
