Westgate Bridge is renamed 'Westraithwaite' Bridge after rioting 'tradies' (aka alt-right actors) take over the bridge and sing Daryl Braithwaite's Horses. Jenny tries to make a funny animal-themed connection between the song, Ivermectin and whether the guys snorting drugs outside someone's window were taking Ketamine, but it falls flat. And she mispronounces Ivermectin into the bargain. Follow us on Insta @mumsbaddiaries Click to head to our show notes at: mymumsbadidiaries.com We'd love to rea...

In this side chat, we find out that when Lily wants a chicken salad, she really just wants her chicken salad! We talk commitment and obligation, and what does saying 'I love you' really mean? People confuse being kind and empathetic with giving another person what they want, and mix being selfish with being unkind. But we believe being selfish is just taking care of yourself - it's not being mean to rude to others. Follow us on Insta @mumsbaddiaries Click to head to our show notes at: mymumsbadi...

Content note: there's a bit of royal family ranting in this bonus side chat. We call it a rant. We like to talk about the royals, you've been warned! We cover a bit in this rant: Edward and Wallis, mention the Lady Colin Campbell book on the Queen Mother, Diana's narcissism, how MM's social media changed in the lead up to meeting Harry (before it was all Suits-style clothes, then it was suddenly all African bead bracelets, baseball caps, jeans and flats. And Diana's perfume... Interesting). Here...

Content note: in this episode we talk about food, eating, weight and self esteem. We mention bulimia and anorexia. We also mention ethnic stereotypes. I find out that mum’s been sleuthing since she was a teenager… It’s the 9th of October 1981 and a pair of jeans go missing from the school cloakroom. We read mum’s suspicions and she makes one of her trademark resolutions to ‘not snack between meals’ until New Year’s Day 1982. So like two months away. Mum goes to a party and ‘celebrates’ the three...

Side chat 2 for this week (because we have gone fishing!) (Or rather 'fishing'.) (Disclosure: no fish are actually involved!) The world is going to shit (war/pandemic/Kanye being seen out and about with a Kim doppelgänger) -- like what is next?? So leave the now and join us for some frivolous yet kinda dark chat about how popularity works, how socially mobile people can be (and can't be) and how girls are used as 'currency' by boys at a private boys' school in Melbourne as 'tickets' to parties. ...

I find out about Mum’s biggest critic… It’s the 22nd of August 1981 and 17-year-old mum is vowing to smile more… cause that will fix everything. We chat about the concept of ‘resting bitch face’ or as we’d prefer to call it ‘resting face’ because let’s be honest, everyone has it. In true style I make some bold statements saying that I wish I could make all men blind for a week because I’m tired of being perceived, and we read more of mum’s resolutions to pull up her socks to study hard. We talk ...

We read about how lax the trip teachers were, allowing the girls to just roam the Noumean streets unattended to ‘practise their French’ aka meet the local boys; how they had to scold some naughty boys who threw fire crackers at them — ‘we will tell your mother!’ — and how they went on a breakfa...
