This Glorious Mess

Parents Anonymous - Losing a kid at the airport

Listen on

Episode notes

On today's show, one parent confesses to the appalling amount of television they watch with their baby, while another mum admits to letting her 7 year old and his friend watch a nightmare-inducing film. And we hear how a father of four left one of his kids behind at the airport when boarding a flight!
