Today's Parents Anonymous dives into another three deliciously embarrassing confessions: a baby locked in the car sparks a lasting daycare shame, one parent confesses to dodging one-on-one time with their child, and childproofing materials prove smarter than the adults trying to navigate them.

You can share your best worst parenting stories by leaving us a voice note, email us at tgm@mamamia.com.au or for super shame super anonymous you can pop them in this form.

Welcome to a brand new podcast from This Glorious Mess called Parents Anonymous.

Part Church Confessional, part Game Show, this is where you share your deepest, darkest parenting confessions to get that guilt off your chest. We'll score each confession, and here at parents anonymous, the worst parenting moment wins the most points.

To kick things off, we have three juicy secrets: a butt dial gone wrong, a dummy fairy incident, and a questionable donation.

If you have a confession to share, leave us a voice note or email us at tgm@mamamia.com.au.

Introducing This Glorious Mess' series "Little Love Stories".

In this episode we delve into an important love letter to identity, culture, and belonging. Natasha Lucas has found her place in world through deep connection with her Aboriginal heritage.

In a country where only 3.8% of the population identifies as Aboriginal, Natasha’s journey is one of discovering pride, strength, and sisterhood within her culture. Her story is a testament to the power of self-love and embracing one’s roots and reminding us that true love lies in the essence of who you are.
