The Family Ritual That Has Us Divided

It's a public holiday Monday for some, but because we love you, we're not leaving you high and dry. We've picked a conversation straight from the Outlouders Facebook group that had everyone unpacking their own family dynamics: the dreaded – or in some cases beloved – family group chat. Holly, Clare and Em are diving into a dilemma from an Outlouder who has implemented a 'new regime' called The Sunday Roast. The rules? Every Sunday, every family member must text their weekly highs and lows along with three photos. No explanations needed, but follow-up questions are mandatory. So, is this a beautiful way to keep the family connected, or an administrative nightmare that makes you want to tap out? Plus, we have some bonus reccos and things we can't stop thinking about including micro-holidays, ' Monthly 10s ' by Julianna Salguero and Nagi's Miso Eggplant recipe. You're welcome. 🔷 DID YOU KNOW? Mamamia subscribers get an all-access pass to everything we make, including exclusive Out Loud episodes, plus articles, videos and our exercise app, MOVE.
