Feral mermaid mode, only eating orange and other kid phases

We asked what's the most unexpected or funniest phase your kid went through. From toddlers to teenagers, the answers had us laughing!

But first, did you know elephants are pregnant for 22 months? All the mums say 'Ouch".

Sam kicks off the yays and nays this week by yaying a cute daddy-daughter date, and naying the sleeping bag houdini almost burning the house down. Bec is yaying the boon clutch dishwasher object (asking what gimmic-y item did you least expect to love!), and naying crushing her sons dreams because all he wants to be when he grows up is the one thing he can't be - a dinosaur.

Next up is the wild phases parents shared of what their kids had been through. From fussy food phases, a gross one or two, through to teenage drama, we share some of the things you wouldn't expect becoming a parent!

Finishing with a parents in the news episode, on a unique gender reveal with a captive aeroplane audience at 30,000 feet, we ask the question for next episode: what's the wildest gender reveal you've seen? Send us the fails too and comment to tell us whether you are for or against the gender reveal parties - and come back to hear the stories!
