When Your Children Aren't Children
It goes so fast. Did you want to pinch the people who said that to you when your babies were small? And now you know it's true. Welcome to the season of parenting when they're taller than you, they're eating the fridge and apparently, you've done your job right if they need you less and less every day. This episode of MID is a reunion. Holly hosted This Glorious Mess with author, presenter and Australian icon Andrew Daddo for years. Her kids were tiny, his were teens and together they unpacked all the messes young families bring. Now Holly's are teens, Andrew's are young adults, but between the five of them, only one has actually flown the nest. How do you navigate parenting children who are no longer children? What happens when you're not always right? And how does it feel when they actually... leave? Welcome to MID episode 7: Really Big Kids. THE END BITS: Get $20 off for our birthday.
