Welcome back to Mum Club 101, your virtual mum club where we keep it real about parenting—no judgment, just laughs!

This week, we’re covering everything from traveling with a toddler (Vicky’s about to board a long-haul flight—send help! ✈️), toddler separation anxiety, and the never-ending debate of structured routines vs. go-with-the-flow parenting.

Critique of the Week: Why Is Surrogacy Still So Controversial?

Lily Collins and her husband just welcomed a baby via surrogacy, sparking a heated debate online. We unpack the mixed reactions, from celebration to backlash, and explore:
✔ The power of stories in normalizing surrogacy
✔ The right to reproductive choice and why this is a deeply personal decision
✔ Ethical considerations—the commercialisation of surrogacy and the potential exploitation of surrogates

Nonsense time:

We dive into the world of strange collectables—think airsickness bags (yes, really 😳) and celebrity hair. Plus, we share some questionable things we’ve hoarded over the years!

Why you should listen:

✔ Parenting hacks: toddler travel must-haves & managing separation anxiety
✔ Honest chat: routine vs. winging it—what actually works?
✔ Pop culture meets parenting: Why is surrogacy still so controversial? Lily Collins’ story and the debate around women’s choices
✔ Laughs guaranteed: from retro diet madness to bizarre collections
