Welcome to This Glorious Mess Little Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is - confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises! Mother's Day. It's a day to celebrate you, your mum, your grandmother, all the incredible motherly figures in your life.  But Mother's Day can suck. It can be a reminder of those we've lost, those who are trying, and the parents doing it alone. Leigh and Tegan discuss creating a more inclusive day, one that showcases Mother's Day for all its pleasures and pressures points.  Plus, this weeks listener dilemma ... what to do when your toddler has chosen their favourite parent!
