This week, we received a very relatable dilemma via our Mamamia Family Facebook group.

A listener is on maternity leave and struggling to justify spending money on herself as she's not earning an income, even though she is of course doing a ton of unpaid labour. It's a dilemma that struck a chord with Tegan and Leigh, so we enlisted the help of our Parents Group to talk through this tough issue, and give some advice.

Plus, our nails and fails include a crushed finger and the power of saying no.

THE END BITS
