They also discuss why being a stepmum to older children can feel completely different from becoming a biological mum to babies and toddlers.</p><br><p>And, as always, the conversation goes somewhere unexpected, with the ladies debating kids in pyjamas, bonnets in public and the parenting choices they secretly judge. </p><br><p>Is it time we were more honest about how hard motherhood can actually be?</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
