‘I Love My Kids… But I Don’t Always Love Being a Mum’ Georgia Jones & Kelsey Parker Get Real About Parenting Truths

This week on Mum’s The Word, Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are back for a brutally honest catch-up… and nothing is off-limits. From chaotic school runs and very territorial parking drama to the awkward realities of parents’ evening, the episode kicks off with the kind of everyday mum moments we’ve all lived through. Georgia shares the pressure of hearing feedback about Cooper at school (and questioning her own homework skills), while Kelsey opens up about why she’s taken a step back from social media, and the emotional toll of feeling like everything you say is under a microscope. The conversation then turns deeper, as the pair get candid about the highs and lows of parenting: including the guilt, the overwhelm, and the truth that loving your kids doesn’t always mean loving every moment of being a mum. They also dive into social media pressures, fake perfection online, and what a more honest version of Instagram for mums would actually look like. Plus, there’s plenty of lighter moments too: from top five kids’ snacks (processed vs homemade sparks debate), to takeaway guilt, parenting “threats” we never follow through on, and the daily juggle of getting out the door on time. It’s the kind of episode that reminds you you’re definitely not the only one winging it. Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and join Georgia and Kelsey for another episode of Mum’s The Word.
