There’s a podcast for that.
Homework. Are you brave enough to bin it?
On this week’s parenting podcast, Holly Wainwright wishes she was. Her kindergarten kid is all about the home-reader and the sight words and the Mathletics and she’s wondering how the hell busy families find another 30 minutes in a crammed day for it.
Andrew Daddo thinks Holly needs to stop being lazy, get her shit together and get her 5-year-old on the fast-track to academic success.

It’s just one of the things that these two parents see differently.
The others? This week, on This Glorious Mess, they’re getting into whether or not we tell our kids that they’re too special, too often. And then calling in an expert to find out just how normal it is that Holly’s daughter keeps trying to pash her.
Get into it. This Glorious Mess is Mamamia’s parenting podcast, and drops every Friday.
