Parents Anonymous: Midday Adult Cuddle T...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

Warning: Contains adult themes and creative problem-solving that might just inspire your own parenting shortcuts!

On today's show we hear how one parent found a creative cover story for their midday "adult cuddle" time. While another Mum is concerned that the tooth fairy needs a performance review. And what lengths would you go to for 30 minutes of kid free time?

You can share your best worst parenting stories by leaving us a voice note, email us at tgm@mamamia.com.au or for super shame super anonymous you can pop them in this form.
