#1017 - Life Lessons From Laundry

Dr Justin Coulson's Happy Families

Justin is on a mission to use his phone less. Find out what he has done this week that has been a freeing (albeit slightly inconvenient) experience.

In response to last week's episode 'Mum Break', a lot of women are saying they could never leave the kids and go away for a week! Kylie and Justin discuss why this is the case and what can be done to support and encourage mums to take some time out for themselves.

In this episode:

• Unplug Childhood
• Deleting apps from devices
• Dropping social media
• The never ending laundry cycle
• A shout out to all the extraordinary single parents listening!
• "Mum breaks" - why they aren't happening more
• The 'martyr syndrome' of motherhood
• Dads need to step up
