Ash is holding down the Wicks household, and everyone is as sick as a dog, so Dad is getting little sleep. 

But if Manly invites you to their awards night, you must go! Matty J and Ash were lucky to attend the Sea Eagles' honorary event, but they couldn't believe who they sat next to.

Meanwhile, Matt is pulling his hair out from the chaos that comes with house renovations. He can't tell the difference between a White Wave and a French Cream either! 

To top it all off, Ash is flabbergasted to hear his friend's 3-year-old has been kicked out of dance class.

Matt has broken his pinky toe, and it turns out it's the one thing keeping the 38-year-old dad upright. He would like some sympathy, but no one is giving it to him. 

Ash has moved into what can only be described as an acreage—no, but he does have a big backyard. The new house is great, but there is only one little quirk, and that's the death drop at the end of the driveway.

Oh, and Matt takes the girls to the footy for the first time, but he's unsure whether they liked it or not - you be the judge!

Lara Pitt is a seasoned sports journalist at Fox Sports, covering the NRL, and a doting mum to three boys—Lachlan, Cooper, and Hamish.

She never expected motherhood to mean sharing her bed with all three boys every night!

In this episode, Lara opens up about her experience after giving birth for the first time, sharing the unexpected challenges she faced. Not only did she face the rollercoaster of postpartum, but Lara was also dealing with an undiagnosed Postpartum thyroiditis that made her feel like life was in turbo mode.

It's Book Week: When parents either shine or hit their breaking point. 

Matt and Ash are the parents who almost hit their breaking point. 

Can someone tell me who decided to make it a week rather than a day?! 

Meanwhile, while all this is happening, Matt takes Marlie and Lola to their Fa's funeral and juggles the many confusing emotions that come with that.

After sharing that he needs a tooth extraction, Ash admits he doesn't have a will or health insurance!

Former footy player and Fox commentator, Braith Anasta, was a teenage sports prodigy.  He seemed to have it all - a loving and supportive family and professional sports career on the horizon.. but his world came crashing down when he was 15 and his father tragically took his own life.

Braith opens up about the nightmare moment that came without any warning, the impact this had on his teenage years and how it shaped his life as a footballer, a man and as a dad.

He also talks about the challenges of having to navigate parenting two kids (10-year-old Aleeia and 7 year old Gigi) from two separate relationships.

Ash has returned from his trip galavanting across the seven seas - well actually, just one sea en-route to Vanuatu. Whilst on an island, he and the family were treated to an amazing cultural experience with a tribe. Turns out, probably not the best activity for a 3 year old.

Matt is battling to get his girls to gymnastics at the moment and just when he convinced Lola there's nothing cooler than a back walkover full twist on a beam, she tripped and ate bitumen. She's only just started to walk again after extensive rehabilitation.

• What age should you transition your toddler into a big bed?
• How do you handle the situation of a loved one passing with your kids?

A few months ago Matt and Ash had the brilliant idea to sign up to the City 2 Surf with the kids. What an amazing experience it'd be for the family (they told themselves). Walking all the way from the city to the iconic Bondi Beach with 90,000 others - including the kids in the pram - it's be something their familiar who never forget !

Only problem was, Ash had to stay at Matt's the night before and Oscar got attacked (only kidding) by the cat, their taxi didn't arrive in the morning, the pram got a flat trye, they almost missed the start and one of the dad forget to bring water. BUT the good news it.. the finished the race just a casual 3 hrs later.

• Should parents be responsible for picking up after their kids at restaurants?
• What is the perfect fathers day gift?
