Episode Description from the Publisher

This week, Monz, Amelia and Stacey explore the &lsquo;performance&rsquo; of public parenting, inspired by Elin Strong&rsquo;s viral article. So, are you actually parenting for the other people at the park? If the answer is yes, you might be a popcorn mum. The swaddling fail by TV&rsquo;s favourite doctor has ignited a firestorm amongst fans of medical drama&nbsp;The Pitt and we have thoughts. Also, we discuss Schitt&rsquo;s Creek actor Dan Levy&rsquo;s controversial take on planes and babies, and why even most parents are onboard. Plus, Prince Harry and Hamish Blake are opening up about men&rsquo;s mental health postpartum. It has us asking, who&rsquo;s looking after the dads? Also, Amelia has a new slang term for us that you&rsquo;ll &lsquo;low-kenuinely&rsquo; love. And, Stacey shows us what&rsquo;s inside her smug &lsquo;analogue bag&rsquo;. 🔷 DID YOU KNOW?
