Big Kids: How Holly Got Through COVID-19 With Two Kids

Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids, a twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is - confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises! Holly, like so many other Australians, contracted COVID-19 over the summer break. Luckily her family didn't, but of course that meant she had to isolate away from them for a whole week. Now that she's feeling (slightly) better, she's answering all of Andrew's questions about what it felt like to be positive, how she juggled family and work while being sick, and the surprising 'beautiful' moments amongst it all. Plus Holly and Andrew share their Nails and Fails of the week, and discuss a tough Parenting Mentor question from a listener who doesn't get along with one of her daughters.
