Not only did we find someone willing, but he just so happens to be 1/2 of Kelly's favourite comedy duo...You'll know Luke & Sassy Scott from their viral TikTok videos where Luke continuously antagonises his older, sassier brother Scott.

Can Your Friendship Survive Your Baby?

Fkn Milestones

Milestones can cause pure panic for parents, especially first-timers. Designed as a guide to track whether a child's development is on track, the truth of it is they leave us feeling smug if the kid is miles ahead and like we’re failing if they’re nowhere near. In this ep, we breakdown the milestones that freaked us out the most & how we dealt with the pressure of 'the timeline'. Then later in the ep, we have a lovely Sh*tter, Beth joining us for a chat.

When we asked our Sh*tters what they wanted us to talk about on the pod, 'resentment' was one of the most highly requested topics.

So today we're putting it all on the table - we chat through key moments that leave us feeling resentful and how we (try to) tackle resentment in a healthy way.
