Should children be banned from restaurants? The incredible footage of surfer Mick Fanning has us wondering: are there certain things you stop doing as a parent because of the danger factor? Daddo's run in with a Great White had an unexpected ending, and an overly confident Holly uttered the words no mum dare to - and everything came crumbling down.

Bribery, scandal, fights, and diva behaviour: it's not The Real Housewives - it’s food. Do you reward good behaviour with bad food? How do you tackle the very delicate issue of kids and weight? Parents confess what they're REALLY cooking up (or not) for dinner. With school holidays over both Andrew and Holly escaped unscathed....almost. And in Is My Kid Normal, can you outsmart a fussy eater?

Everyone these days is raising a "special" child. Have we lost the ability to appreciate that average is ok? Holly's five year old is knuckling down to homework every night. Can't we just leave school work for school hours? And in "Is my kid normal", we solve the case of a child that likes going in for the big tongue pash.

The debut parenting podcast from the Mamamia Women's Network. Hosted by Andrew Daddo and Holly Wainwright, it's for non-perfect parents to talk about parenting as it really is. Exciting, overwhelming, delightful, disasterous, and often very messy.
In this first episode, we go back to beginnings. How did you know you were ready to have kids? Are you the kind of parent you thought you'd be? And what makes a family? Andrew Daddo, father of three, talks about the one family ritual the Daddo's won't break. And Holly Wainwright, mother of two, gets schooled on the art of family dinner.
