Eat Sleep Repeat

Kee’s pit this week is a classic plans fail - a babysitter stuff-up that turns into instant FOMO. Kel’s pit is the kind of body situation you never expect to be dealing with, until suddenly you’re googling, doing the mental maths, and realising this is going to be a whole thing.
And somehow, in between all of that, there are a couple of proper heart-squeeze wins.

FAFO parenting is everywhere - and this episode is for anyone who’s ever thought “cool, go on then” and immediately questioned their entire parenting philosophy. FAFO stands for “fuck around and find out” - aka letting natural consequences do the talking. Is it boundaries? Is it petty? Is it survival? Let’s unpack the internet’s favourite new parenting vibe.

It’s Peak & Pit time, and this week we’re talking about the mental load of kids’ birthday parties - aka the part where you’re meant to be “making memories” while quietly spiralling over helium, food orders, decorations, and why you’re somehow the CEO of the entire event.
Meanwhile, Kel has a medical admin moment that turns into a full-body workout.

Four-year-olds: old enough to sound wildly reasonable… until they’re absolutely not. This week, Kee and Kelly are officially in the “fkd up fours” era, so they call in the big guns: Gen Muir from Connected Parenting.
Gen breaks down what’s actually happening in the four-year-old brain (and why it can feel worse than two), why “bad behaviour” is often just big feelings + zero skills… and how boundaries can be the thing that makes everyone feel safer.

It’s Peak & Pit and we’ve got big feelings over small things. Kee’s riding the high of a genuinely sweet family moment - then free-falls into a pit sparked by something so small it shouldn’t have the power to ruin a morning… and yet.
Kel, meanwhile, is navigating a routine shake-up that’s hit her right in the feelings, plus she’s in her Oura ring era like it’s going to personally fix her nervous system.
