OK, THAT'S WEIRD- FROM THE ARCHIVES

Sun, 31 Mar 2024 18:30:30 GMT

Today we bring you an episode from our archives!

In parenthood there is certainly no ‘one size fits all’ however, some things are so left of centre that they cause an adverse reaction and our immediate response is - ‘There is no way I’d do that!!'. On the flip side, when we share some idiosyncrasies with others (like swaying an invisible baby in the supermarket line when you hear another child cry), it's funny to admit, we're all weirdos in our own unique and wonderful ways.

Shan and Tam take a deep dive into some of the whacky things our mothers were told when they were pregnant and also how parenting differs in other countries. No judgements here, but it’s always fun to show some comparisons and maybe even some relatability!

OUCH!

Sun, 21 Aug 2022 19:30:00 GMT

Kids love us so much we often find ourselves as their proverbial punching bag; whether it's in an emotional or physical sense, it cuts deep. Mum's share their tales of woe and the gals chat about why sticks and stones really do break their bones.

Essentially, it's a brief history of kids who hurt their parents. Ouch.

OOH...THAT'S GOOD

Sun, 14 Aug 2022 19:30:00 GMT

This episode explores some fabulous options for self-care and taking some time out just for you. Whether it's getting away with girlfriends for the weekend, lapping up the hairdressers head massage at the basin, or getting a much needed compliment that has you flying high for the rest of the day, it's all stuff we need to do and when we do - it’s oooh!

TOILET BUSINESS

Sun, 31 Jul 2022 19:30:00 GMT

Imagine this, you've floated into your bathroom, shut the door, disrobed from the waist down, and drawn breath for the first time in what seems like hours. All is well- that is until the dog, cat, husband, kids and family guinea pig slam down the door demanding you find their socks, jocks or Barbie doll this instant and it's all over red rover.

Heading to the toilet can fill us with anxiety; whether it's a public toilet where your kids are licking the sink, or you're 'dropping the kids off at the pool' and you're ferociously interrupted. Yep, who said pooping was easy?

OUR SH!T BITS

Sun, 24 Jul 2022 19:30:00 GMT

The gals get honest about what we really hate about being women. We know we can change the world one hair at a time, if we only stopped shaving them. But do we really want to? More often than not, we're all happy to jump on the bandwagon of feminism when it comes to gender equality due to impacts on our freedom of movement, wages and well being. There is however, little admission of those little things we find exhausting in order to remain younger, more attractive, pimple-less and hair free.

YOU CAN'T SAY THAT ON TV

Sun, 26 Jun 2022 19:30:00 GMT

From Disney to British TV, the Eighties and Nineties brought us some of the best children's television we'll never forget. It's the kind of nostalgia we love to look back on, and hope our kids do the same thing. Or do we? MABN give you some gob smacking examples of moments in kids television- Rugrats, The Jetsons, Pepper Pig- where sexual innuendo, racism and misogyny are too hard to ignore.

It's the end of Season 5, but hang around and the ladies will be back with a roaring Season 6 very soon...

AGE IS JUST A NUMBER

Sun, 12 Jun 2022 19:30:00 GMT

This episode the ladies weigh up the pros and cons on the age scale, beginning with what it means to have babies in your late teens, twenties, thirties, forties and beyond. We're all affected differently depending on circumstance and situation, and here we have a chance to hear from the MABN listeners about their experience on the psychological and emotional load, physical changes and societal pressures. Whether we like it or not, the biological clock doth tick.

BIRTHDAY BONANZA

Sun, 05 Jun 2022 19:30:00 GMT

Love them or hate them, kids parties provide us with stress on multiple levels. From the anxiety of parents staying for a dose of cream brie, Prosecco and awkward chats, to the sheer horror of present assembly with our without batteries, it's surprising we put ourselves through the party wringer each and every year. But at the end of the day the kids are happy, and isn't that what it's all about? ...and to gift or re-gift- that, is the question.

AUNTY FLOW

Sun, 29 May 2022 19:30:00 GMT

This week MABN listeners share their period horror stories as the ladies discuss the joys of tampons and menstrual cups. Shanelle and Tamara may even give you a rendition of the ‘Rag Time Blues‘, surely it’s a song we should all be singing. Let’s start sharing and talking about our periods and we’ll be one step closer to removing the shame that we all unnecessarily carry.

FESTIVAL OF MUM

Sun, 15 May 2022 19:00:00 GMT

It might be a day you love, dislike, find stressful; one that makes you teary, anxious or just damned right entitled.

MUM INTERRUPTED

Sun, 08 May 2022 19:30:00 GMT

So here’s the thing about being a mum, you’re constantly- 'MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!!'- being interrupted. Whether it's your kids, partner or your phone, it's an uphill battle you'll never win (until the kids are at least, well, let's say, 21?)

This episodes looks at all the moments we're trying to preserve without being hijacked. As women our DNA provides the court on which we find ourselves pivoting in order to keep on top of all the things in our lives.

Now grab a wine, run that bath and put on those headphones- you might just get a good 5 minutes in...

In the last episode of season 4, Shanelle and Tamara sit down with Con and chat all things motherhood, how it changes us and what excites us now, whilst highlighting some of the things we all face together.

It's raw, honest, hilarious and an episode where no Queen is left out- because we are more like our non-biological sisters than we may think!

THE DEAL WITH MEALS

Sun, 13 Mar 2022 18:30:00 GMT

Just imagine- you're at your favourite eating spot, the sun's shining, you're with your family (bless 'em) and the world is good, until...yep, little Suzie has spilled the first drink of the evening, the twins have knocked over the menu board and the youngest is about to launch themselves off the table like a sugar induced superman. Ah, the serenity.

We need to feed our children (there's your first hot tip), but when it comes to meal time we just can't win. Shanelle and Tamara wax lyrical about these moments with our families that are an inevitable hot mess.

SECRET WOMEN'S BUSINESS

Sun, 06 Mar 2022 18:30:00 GMT

Have you stabbed yourself in the eye with the mascara wand by accident on a number of occasions? Jumped into a drop squat like a baseball catcher to stretch either new or freshly washed jeans? Do you wear the same bra for longer than the suggested time because it looks clean and smells fine? And lastly, what about holding your boobs when you run down the stairs?

Shanelle and Tamara discuss the above and plenty more in the hope you’ll jump on the band wagon and admit some of the things that you do too! Let’s face it, men probably have no idea about some of the idiosyncrasies women have.

No matter where you are in the world, you'll find you are more like some of your fellow non-biological sisters than you may think!

CLOSE CALLS

Sun, 27 Feb 2022 18:30:00 GMT

Have you lost your child in a public place? Found them walking around the house with sharp scissors waving hello at you? Or your innocent little one drinking the whole bottle of bubble blowing solution, whilst you took a shower. The list is never ending what these heart stoppers will get themselves into!

Shanelle and Tamara share their own moments and those of other mums too, when things could have been an utter disaster, but the calm was restored, and our loveable rogues are all ok. It’s like walking the tight rope of life, whilst balancing your children on your head!!

IS ANYONE LISTENING?

Sun, 20 Feb 2022 18:30:00 GMT

The shoes, the socks, the breakfast, the hair, the eyes glued to the TV; each step is a war waged and not won, and not just with the kids. It’s your spouse too!

This episode Shanelle and Tamara may not have the definitive answers to why all your family’s ears are filled with wax (save for yours), but they’ll certainly debunk ‘expert’ advice on the subject!

THE RESOLUTION

Sun, 30 Jan 2022 18:30:00 GMT

Every year we wonder why we bother setting goals, making plans, breaking habits, when it inevitably turns to sh%$ after January 14th. With the global pandemic chomping at our heels it's especially hard; how do we plan for world domination when we don't even know if our kids will be going to school next week?

Shanelle and Tamara discuss the 'Top 20 resolutions for Tired Mum's' thanks to our most helpful advice columnist- Google.

THE MABN CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

Sun, 19 Dec 2021 18:30:00 GMT

It's the most wonderful time of year! (Or so they say). Between juggling family festivities, delegating food prep or avoiding the dodgy Uncle it's the kind of mayhem we secretly love. And why? Because of the children. If the Elf on the Shelf hasn't got you by the balls yet, then wait a few years and join the throng of parents that are hastily spinning their endless web of lies to create the perfect Christmas magic for their beloved families. Go mums, you've got this!

REALITY BITES

Sun, 12 Dec 2021 18:30:00 GMT

So often our diligence to provide for our family, work and home life isn't rewarded how we'd like. Escaping our reality for 8 minutes when you’ve got no s##ts left to give, is not only grossly underrated but a damn requirement! This episode discusses those moments in which we find ourselves, but are quickly reminded by those around us i.e. kids, family, (rearview mirrors) of the hamster wheel on which we're spinning.

Shanelle waxes lyrical about the struggles of having a bath, and Tamara brags about that one time she upstaged Michael Buble.

WARNING: we over share about periods a little bit...

PSYCHIC KIDS

Sun, 05 Dec 2021 18:30:00 GMT

Shan and Tam, interview spiritual energy healer Maria Clarke about how to work out if you’re little one has the sixth sense, and the best way to nurture and help them understand it. A common belief the world over is that children are naturally more connected to the spirit realm. We need to discuss things that are essential to keeping these children happy and healthy, and how to avoid pitfalls that could spoil their special gifts.

A child's world is filled with extraordinary things and Psychic gifts are present at an incredibly tender age. Does any of the following sound like your little one? Having an overwhelming fear of the dark, sensitive, night terrors and vivid dreams, being affected by emotional energies around them, reports of imaginary friends or maybe even a brief conversation with a loved one who is no longer here?

Discussed is also how we can soul search to find our purpose outside of motherhood; “who am I and what do I want to do with my life?” Travel the spiritual super highway and find out!

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES

Sun, 28 Nov 2021 18:30:00 GMT

It’s always great fun when kids speak their truth loudly out it public for the masses to hear. How they piece it all together in their little minds and then blurt it out, often leaves us with raised eyebrows and great content for that next coffee catch up. Shanelle and Tamara interview a bunch of pint sized cuties (including their own!) to find out exactly what they are thinking!

DON'T WET YOUR PANTS

Sun, 14 Nov 2021 18:30:00 GMT

These are just some of the ‘running’ jokes that women have heard in abundance over the years. We laugh together and then awkwardly smirk because it's something that can cause serious embarrassment. No wonder these areas need help getting back into shape because pregnancy and childbirth are no doubt the most strenuous task our bodies will ever go through.

Shan and Tam chat to Women’s Health Physio and Pelvic Floor expert Kath Baquie from ‘Fitnest Mama’ in Melbourne about all things pelvic floor, including at home stress tests and tips for the guys too….Yep it’s not just the ladies that struggle in this department! Kath brings a wealth of knowledge to a subject that is often shamefully ignored because it's out of site and out of mind.

Shan and Tam doing their best to help change the world one pelvic floor at a time.

HOLIDAYS WITH KIDS

Sun, 07 Nov 2021 18:30:00 GMT

'Are we there yet? Are we there yet?' said every kid 5 minutes into the holiday journey. From bad blow up mattresses, packing the car, travel snack tips, disciplining your kids in front of your friends, and weird time outs in weird corners, this episode covers it all.

You'll hear why Tamara's hating on cheese platters, Ollie has a penchant for cat food, and how to get free stuff at a hotel. Keep an ear out for Shanelle's hot tip on how to look busy for the post holiday clean up without actually lifting a finger (she's really good at it), whilst Tamara gets to be a lesbian for an hour. It's jam packed with good holiday fun!

BEAUTY BY DESIGN

Sun, 31 Oct 2021 18:30:00 GMT

Nowadays, whether it's inflating your breasts, filling those stress lines or adding some puff to your smackeroos, cosmetic enhancement is as accessible as grabbing a burger at your local drive through. But if you haven't gone down that road yet, perhaps you've considered the options.

Shanelle and Tamara discuss the 'do you or don't you' of tweaking yourself, from learning to love the bodies we have, to the social judgement's we face if we choose the path of self improvement.

MUMNESIA

Have you ever have those moments where your brain fog is so bad? You were positive you didn't have those socks on before you got in the shower? Or perhaps you've driven 6 blocks only to realise your 5 year old is sitting next to you in the passenger seat. Eeep…Yep!!

This episode we hear from you - our sublime MABN listeners who have shared their Mumnesia mis-haps with us. A hilarious montage of moments from mothers who've experienced/are still in the throws of, pregnancy or post-baby mum brain. Trust us on this one - we're still laughing.

SO YOU'RE A SPORTS MUM

Sun, 05 Sep 2021 19:30:00 GMT

We solemnly swear we'll never be that parent, but if you aren't already, it's coming baby. Perhaps it's something in our DNA, a genetic throwback from our caveman ancestors that instills a scary kinda competitiveness that sees us hurling meat pies at the floor and obscenities at poor Timmy who didn't quite make that goal.

Whether you're a passionate parent of a budding dancer or a future Olympic discus thrower, supporting our children to win win win is clearly in our blood. But should we apologise for it? Discuss.

HOME SCHOOLING

Sun, 29 Aug 2021 19:30:00 GMT

Lockdowns have given us a lot of things; a chance to be with the loved ones we previously never had time for, the beauty of reflection in a world ravaged by a seemingly never ending pandemic, and a chance to tackle those stubborn in-grown hairs we've been eyeing off for the last 6 months. But home schooling our kids is definitely one of those beasts we can add to the bad list along with masks, loss of individual liberties and Zoom meetings. This episode we celebrate all teachers far and wide for doing a job we clearly have no training for. From pre-school to high school and everything in between, we endeavour to guide our children through their yearly curriculum with or without our heads screwed on.

WHO'S YOUR DADDY

Sun, 22 Aug 2021 19:30:00 GMT

We know our partners, but do we really know what they are thinking?!!? This is a chance to jump inside their heads and get the low down on Dad guilt..is it a thing? What about self-care? How many times a week is a good amount of sex, and what do they imagine child birth is really like? Do they just have that caveman mentality with a side of Netflix and golf! It's time to open that dad book once and for all. All cards are on the table...

DIRTY RHYMES

Sun, 15 Aug 2021 19:30:00 GMT

Just for fun this episode Shanelle and Tamara uncover the sometimes shocking, sometimes debauched history behind the rhymes you've grown up on and have now passed on to your children. Each has a lesson to be learned or a warning to be heeded; who really was Mother Hubbard? What's with Peter and his pumpkins? And why are silverbells and cockleshells something to be feared? Motherhood a Beautiful Nightmare shed light on them all. Watch out, it's a shocker!

LET'S TALK SEX

Sun, 08 Aug 2021 19:30:00 GMT

In this episode we chat about the limits our bodies afford us after having kids and how this impacts sexy times for you and your partner. We're talking feeling sexy when you're breast feeding, applauding your wobbly bits, and how the hell you get your vagina back into gear when all it wants to do is shut up shop. Let's get freaky ladies!

SH!T MUM

Sun, 01 Aug 2021 20:30:00 GMT

Shanelle and Tamara share their 'Sh!t Mum' moments in the hope that you can feel a little better about your own. Why do we love them soooo much yet want to return them from whence they came, all at the same time? Yes it's confusing, and no amount of 'child rearing' non-fiction will give you a definitive answer. It's survival of the fittest, and no one is winning.

SCHOOL RUN

Sun, 25 Jul 2021 20:30:00 GMT

If you have this one under control you're onto something mum, but for most of us we're multi-tasking like an octopus whilst suppressing our anxiety for the most part. Cornflakes or toast? Make up your bloody mind! If packing a lunch, finding a missing left shoe or avoiding death-by-school crossing gets your knickers in a twist (or did you forget to put those on??), then we're hearing you loud and clear.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS

That emergency biscuit or lolly in your bag is your secret bribery weapon to ensure your kids are on their best behaviour. Where would we all be without the helpful tool that is ‘bribery’. We constantly battle with the fine line between supporting your child to excel and the continual push for extra curricular activities because they asked for it (let's face it, you paid for the term and now they hate ballet/tennis/karate/gymnastics...)

YOUR JUDY'S

Sun, 06 Jun 2021 19:30:00 GMT

We all face low points throughout our life journey, and just like Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz’ lying in poppy fields, it’s your Judy’s that help you up and remind you of who you are and what you’re capable of. We all need those people. The best Judy’s we collect in this lifetime are the key to us winning at the game that is motherhood. It's the roller coaster of emotions which are pure bliss and joy, teamed with loneliness and exhaustion. It’s all there, tied up in one bag for us and our Judy’s to tackle head on.

Making time for our partners can quite often have the least reserves for. It's not deliberate, but far out, the proverbial plates are spinning above us at a million miles an hour! Whether it be feeling misunderstood by your partner now that you’re a mum (the stay-at-home mum VS the go- to- work- significant other) or justifying what you do all day. Shan and Tam discuss love languages and how they play a role in our ever evolving relationships.

LETTING OFF STEAM

Sun, 23 May 2021 19:30:00 GMT

We throw everything we’ve got at the love job that is motherhood, but what we really need is a chance to let off some steam. The all important self-care gets put on the back burner whilst we power on through our ‘to do’ lists with one eye open in the hope of recharging from the sleep we lost the night before. Taking care of our mental health as mothers is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves AND our children. We know we need it. So, how do we do it?

MUM GUILT

Sun, 16 May 2021 19:30:00 GMT

We feel guilty when we have a moment of self-preservation that allows us to fill our mum cups. Whether it’s having a night out with friends, going to the gym, screaming at your child because they're driving you up the wall, only to glance at their sweet face on your screen saver to feel that major overflow of guilt. Don’t even get us started when the childcare worker has to peel your child off of your leg in a flood of tears.

From telling your kids off in public, to boys playing with dolls prams and the unnecessary desire to have that unrealistic level of perfection.

YOU'VE CHANGED

Sat, 01 May 2021 14:30:00 GMT

The incidental things that we are genuinely thrilled about now, are far from what would have excited us before. The desperation for an uninterrupted hangover or your kids eating a healthy meal you prepared without a fuss. Did you nail your bucket list of things to do before kids came along? Staying up past midnight basically means you're a Rockstar and a solo car journey without Frozen, The Wiggles or a Disney soundtrack is a welcomed relief. Sound like you mama?
