Parenting Out Loud – Details, episodes & analysis

• Glam retreats: a cultural necessity for post-partum mums?
• Why bedtime stories are being put to bed themselves. 
• How some dads forget their kids names, refuse to change a nappy or fail to RSVP — and why some women let them.

Plus, in this week’s reccos:

🐣 Amelia is a fan of these Baby Origami wraps.
📚 Jessie solves a gift issue with a personalised book from Lucy and Co.
🧸 Stacey shares her obsession with magnetic tiles.

Another week, another Parenting Out Loud episode where if parents are thinking about it, we're talking about it.

On today's show, Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester are joined by friend of the pod, and Mamamia's Deputy Editor, Stacey Hicks to discuss whether or not kids ruin your adult friendships. 

Also, to what extent should children's entertainment figures be apolitical, and why is YouTube's Ms Rachel so controversial right now?

Plus, the dumb phone. Between landlines, 'brick' phones and a yearning for the '90s, it seems nostalgia is the newest tech trend for parents. 

And, in this week’s reccos:

Amelia wants you to try a special storytelling collection, Jessie is recommending daycare with a twist and Stacey is all over Dolly Parton's 'imagination' library.

Should partners (and exes) automatically be each other’s parenting hype squad? We all know relationships are... complex and the answer to this question isn't straightforward — as Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester discover on this week's show. 

Plus, the Ellen Pompeo quote that made our hosts seriously question if mums can ever give 100% at work.

And, is letting your kid play with makeup a feminist failure... or just a rainy day win?

This week’s reccos:

Amelia's kids are obsessed with a paper magazine (yes, they still exist) and Jessie’s found a genius fix for toddler meltdowns that doesn't require wine or Wi-Fi.

Is the family dinner really just a guilt trip with cutlery?

One of the most pervasive pieces of parenting advice is making everyone feel bad about themselves. Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester unpack the pressure to sit and eat at a dining table together—even when that table (if you have actually have room for one) is buried under laundry and unopened mail.

Also, Kourtney Kardashian says school is outdated. With homeschooling on the rise, is she actually onto something?

Plus, the model who makes money from encouraging women and girls to live a 'skinny' lifestyle. Different generation, different platform, same disturbing message. We discuss. 

And in our reccos this week:

• Amelia's got a brilliantly grim podcast that both you and your kid will love.

• Jessie shares her sneaky hack to score all the toys—no meltdown required.

Come join the conversation. New eps drop Saturdays. No shoulder spit-ups required.

Welcome back to Parenting Out Loud where we've got a brand new episode to start your weekend off right.

On the show this week:

• The rise of the stealth mum. From Margot Robbie's press tour to your work colleague who's never mentioned having kids, we're exploring why hiding motherhood has become the new cultural currency.
• Plus, praising your child is a fraught business. Do you compliment their efforts, their appearance, their creations? Perhaps millennial parents are overthinking things... again. We discuss. 
• And, there's a tiny internet feud happening on Facebook that we need to talk about. 

Plus, our recommendations:

📺 Stacey wants you to watch Unknown Number: The High School Catfish on Netflix

🗞️ Amelia recommends getting back into reading an oldschool newspaper.

🍽️ And Monz has got a viral two ingredient recipe she needs you to try. Just some beef bolar blade (a cut of beef), some char siu sauce. Turn on the slow cooker and chuck it all in there-the entire jar and everything. Put the lid on, turn it on low for 8-10 hours and you've got a succulent Chinese meal.
