This week we have kids fessing up to their own confessionals, plus parent news on baby names, museums and active labor news.
But first, we catch up and discover this episode is a new one - recording with the 3 year old in the episode. Sam will do his best to cut out interruptions, but there's nothing more unhelpful parenting than this!
We start with our catch ups, talking yays and nays from our weekend away. Bec is laughing at Sam getting mistaken for one of the 'ladies' at their fancy dinner, and naying his new winking habit. Sam's yaying the massage on the weekend away, while being sad how quickly it came undone! His nay is the school hats and their never-ending disappearance!
That reminds Bec of her extra nay - catching the 3yo colouring in the school hat while she was on the phone with her brother.
Then we head to the confessional, but this confessional comes packed with stories from kids fessing up to what they did to their parents! New parenting fears unlocked!
We have edited report cards, learning to drive, sugar on a drum kit, signs in the car, gross water deliveries and 'accidental' edibles.
Parents in the news is back with 3 stories this week.
1. Another story from Japan after last week's - where they have had a baby name law reform, banning a long list of names and requiring parents to determine the pronunciation to avoid extra meanings.
2. After last week's kid being put in a coffin at a museum, we had ANOTHER museum fail, with an American tourist impaling himself at the Colosseum. So parents beware!
3. Last week, a mother went through labour live on the news. As a morning news anchor, Olivia Jaquith delivered the news and then delivered her baby.
