Eat Sleep Repeat ·

2026/02/12

It’s Peak & Pit and the emotional range this week is wide. Kee hits a massive parenting milestone that should feel like a win - except she’s the one crying. Suki? Fine. Happy. Already moving on.

When You’re The Only Parent

Eat Sleep Repeat ·

2026/02/10

Kelly and Kee are eating humble pie. Because a single mum slid into their DMs and (very politely) pointed out what happens when you say “just keep your sick kid home”… but you don’t have a partner, family nearby, or anyone to tag in. So we brought her on. Meet Alice: solo mum to an 8-year-old, running a one-woman household with zero backup. We talk the relentless mental load, the stuff that keeps single mums up at night, the stigma (and double standards), and the kind of

Kel relives Lenny’s actual birthday: the cursed Women’s Weekly-style cake mission, the absolute audacity of a partner doing the wrong job badly, and a pub celebration that ends with… yes… screaming at the cake and mum.

When Should I Send My Kid To School?

Eat Sleep Repeat ·

2026/02/03

It starts as an innocent mum-chat and ends in a full-blown research spiral: when are you meant to send your kid to school… and why does it feel like everyone’s suddenly delaying? This week, Kee takes the reins on the school start age debate - from cut-off dates and state-by-state chaos, to the real reasons parents are choosing “later”, and why “the studies say…” isn’t as straightforward as it sounds.

It’s Friday - so we’re doing our weekly peaks and pits: a proper catch-up between friends, equal parts vent and tiny victory lap.

2026/01/27

Ever walked away from a catch-up feeling worse than when you arrived?
