The secret Nana rivalry you all frothed over is back for round two! Today, Mia Freedman continues her deep dive with the woman she’s feeling a little bit competitive with: Anne Stephens, mother of Jessie and Clare and grandmother extraordinaire.
From the Nana ‘leaderboard’ to the chaos of raising two sets of twins, Anne is back to drop some serious wisdom on what it’s really like when your children have children - and your twin daughter has twins.
Plus, they compare notes on the Nana name rivalry and Mia explains why she ultimately gave up on being called ‘Mimi’. So, which one of them is now officially referred to as ‘Other Nana’?
Also, they explore the similarities in their family values and their different approach to weddings, where one side is there for the drinks and the other side is strictly focused on the dessert buffet.
And, Anne shares her unfiltered thoughts on the ‘Golden Rule of Grandparenting'.
