This episode is packed with parent hacks, confessions and news!

Kicking off with a random Sam thought about how our kids are going to look at us weirdly at the word 'rewind' - we quickly catch up with our parent yays and nays from this week. Bec is yaying cute mixed up words like bumblegum and double-yaying with the successful use of reverse psychology on the 4 year old. Sam is yaying the kids finally eating their dinner (after a year of complaining on this podcast that they waste food), and naying the unexpected emotions of watching your child walk off to school for the first time (he won't admit it, but he cried in the car!).

The confessional is in full swing this week, but with a few stories that we think are more like parent hacks! Like counting to 500 for hide and seek, or telling the kids they can play on iPads until you wake up (cue the sleep in!). These are followed by some embarrassing parent stories and kids saying the darndest things.

This week has 2 parent news stories, starting with the debate over child-free resorts and hotels, fuelled by France's recent political debates about their culture of child-free stays. Followed by Skibid being added to the Cambridge dictionary along with a whole bunch of slang we STILL don't understand, even with dictionary definitions.

Come back next week as we finally answer the question we asked last week - what's the funniest or most unhinged child-inflicted injury you've received (or seen...)?
