Welcome to a brand new podcast from This Glorious Mess called Parents Anonymous.

Part Church Confessional, part Game Show, this is where you share your deepest, darkest parenting confessions to get that guilt off your chest. We'll score each confession, and here at parents anonymous, the worst parenting moment wins the most points.

To kick things off, we have three juicy secrets: a butt dial gone wrong, a dummy fairy incident, and a questionable donation.

If you have a confession to share, leave us a voice note or email us at tgm@mamamia.com.au.

Is it a confession or deep respect to a parent who kills off Santa, The Tooth Fairy AND The Easter Bunny in just one conversation. We're leaning towards respect.

Plus a mother who made the mistake of trying to enjoy herself at the beach with toddlers.

You can share your best worst parenting stories by leaving us a voice note, email us at tgm@mamamia.com.au or for super shame super anonymous you can pop them in this form.

Kris O’Neill has a love letter to two girls who she misses terribly, her breasts.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer almost two years ago, Kris made the choice to go flat. A complex journey wrapped up in fear, celebration and survival.

Kris is now on a mission to change the perceptions of mastectomy. Talking to anyone who has gone flat or foob, or supporting someone who has, to help find the joy in the Breast Case Scenario.

Before you become “Mum” or “Dad,” you're just you—with a first name, a spontaneous social life, and the freedom to pursue your career ambitions with no limits, even if that means sometimes working 20-hour days. That was the life of today's guest, Bec Bignell, before she became a parent.

Bec pushed herself to give 100% to both her career and her role as a parent, but eventually, the strain took its toll. Forced to pause, she reflected on the moments that truly brought her happiness and began to seek fulfilment on her own terms.

Mum guilt—it's something most of us have heard about. But what about Dad guilt? Does it exist?

Annaliese and Tegan take a deep dive into their own experiences with Mum guilt, exploring where it stems from. To get the Dad perspective, they brought back resident dad Thom Lion to share whether dads feel the same weight of guilt.

Plus, a few of Mamamia's own dads shared their honest take... The results might surprise you and definitely give you something to think about.
