This week, we asked for the funniest or wildest injuries your kids have caused you, plus we are back with our parenting confessional and parent news stories.

Kicking off with a not-so-fun fact for Bec - did you know parents of 3 kids are reported to have the highest levels of stress?

Sam and Bec catch up with their weekly yay and nays - Bec yaying their two-night getaway kid-free (sleeping til 9am, anyone?!), and naying being woken up before 6, being reminded of Steve Irwin's passing by an overly curious 4-year-old. Sam's yaying time on their holiday to develop a new hobby (thank you Fox In The Box Gold Coast escape rooms!) and naying how fast it went.

Then we jump into the answers from this week's question about what is the worst injury you've gotten from your kid. We've got some doozy injuries that will make you think 'ouch', while helping you feel at home if you've ever been headbutted, whacked or injured by your child.

The confessional is open this week with another hilarious funeral mixup, a 3-year-old Jesus (no, it's not blasphemous), and a grocery store ninja.

Parent news this week, and we share about one mother who had the unfortunate experience of going into labour while dressed as the Grinch for Halloween! We also share a story from India about a doctor who is making headway in combating the baby gender bias, celebrating baby girls, and pushing for change. That's a feel-good, slightly shocking story for us to finish with - and we will be back next week with more stories, confessions, news and laughs!
