This week there’s a LOT of pent-up frustration… and for once the kids aren’t entirely to blame.

Ash is convinced Bluey is ruining his life, Matt’s at war with the latest pet Marlie’s brought home and a faulty door lock has officially cock-blocked Matt and Laura.

The boys bond over the one baby product they’re sick of seeing dumped on the side of the road.

Plus more things we were ridiculously confident about before becoming parents… back when we still had free time, energy and sex lives.

We're back so soon! Not what you were expecting!? 

You've been asking and now we're FINALLY delivering - two eps a week every Monday and Wednesday.

In today's new ep we dive head first into housekeeping and boy is there a lot of it (because we all know you secretly love it)!

Ash reveals a pathetic injury he got while parenting this week.

While Matt is wondering if he'll ever be remembered for his who he really is!?

And there's a new phrase in their kids vocabulary that is driving them nuts!

Perhaps the double full moon is to blame - either way, we're all going loosey goosey!

From bedroom conversations to playground politics, nothing’s off limits this week.

We’re talking sexy talk, navigating spicy playdates and wading bravely into the great gender debate... and let's just say they've got some surprising revelations about the two sexes. 

The boys also tap into their emotional sides reading letters to their wives ahead of Mothers' Day.

And more of the things we thought we knew before having kids.

We’re kicking off the week with a conversation guaranteed to spark a few chats at home…

The guys sit down with globally recognised sexologist Juliet Allen for an honest, eye-opening chat about intimacy, connection, and keeping the spark alive.

From dirty talk and wooing their wives, to the uncomfortable question of whether they’re actually doing the bare minimum as partners - nothing is off limits.

Juliet shares practical advice on low libido, emotional moments after sex, and how to start those sometimes awkward conversations about mixing things up in the bedroom.

Insightful, relatable, and just the right amount of spicy - this one might leave you wanting more… from the episode or from your partner!

It's been a tough week in parenting for the guys - Ash is pissed his kids keeping wasting paper.

While Matt's thinking about lying to one of his kids about their birth date which got them wondering why are we so fixed on birth dates in the first place?! 

And Matt confesses he and Laura have crossed a line they can't take back.

The guys dive deep into a Doter Dilemma on babysitters' ages and we're back with more hilarious takes on what we thought about parenting before having kids thanks to Aldi.

You asked and we delivered - everything you ever wanted to know about the person you hear giggling in the background of each episode.

Vic joined the pod late last year and since then she's become a close part of the team, pumping the guys up, offering advice (and worming chocolate) and being a shoulder to cry on if they need it. 

She's had an extensive career in both TV and radio as well as being the proud mum to two little kids. 

So she's well versed in keeping calm amongst chaos - thank god!

You can follow her here.

While in the Wicks household - Macy saved a life this week and it's a story that's got to be heard to be believed!

We only made it through one term of school before we had to drag Gen Muir back for some more advice on how to parent our kids.

This time she teaches us how to set boundaries with an empathy sandwich, why our kids lying to us is actually a good thing and why modern parenting is doing our heads in.

It's another gold standard episode with our favourite parent educator and we know you'll leave feeling smarter and more capable to parent your kids than before you listened. 

To get in touch with Gen, buy her cards or just follow her teachings head to her instagram here.

Ash went on an adults only holiday and accidentally booked himself into a very questionable hotel.

Meanwhile Matt's recovering from a dramatic week after Laura's 40th and the death of his neighbour.

Ash is suspicious that both events occurred in the same week.

The boys have a LOL about whether or not sausages belong in the lunchbox and Matt's daughter has created a book about their family pet - cute story but let's just say the title needs a bit of work.

Today's guest is a former detective who spent ten years on the force interviewing kids - so she knows everything there is to know about keeping them safe.

Kristi McVee is also a mum, so she knows how hard it can be getting kids to tell us anything!

So she's got some great advice and even a card game to help kids to start thinking about their safety and how to open up to us about it.

We all love our kids but we might not always know how best to protect them - well in this chat, Kristi shows us how we can arm our kids with the best tools to stay safe from now until adulthood.

You can get in touch with Kristi here.

Or buy her child body safety cards here.
