'Is He Actually Hurt… Or Just Avoiding School?' Georgia Jones & Kelsey Parker on the realities of Mum Guilt

This week on Mum’s The Word, Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are back for a proper catch-up, and it’s safe to say parenting hasn’t exactly gone to plan. Georgia kicks things off with the chaos of the first week back after half-term when Cooper injures his toe… leaving her questioning every parent’s dilemma: are they actually hurt or just trying to skip school? Meanwhile Kelsey shares her brutally honest take on “work mum vs home mum mode” and why sometimes you’ve just got to send them in and see what happens. The pair also dive into the pressure mums feel to do everything: work, parenting, friendships, social media and life. and why it often feels like you’re doing none of it well. From half-term guilt and screen-time battles to den-building victories and the reality of juggling work with kids at home. Plus, Kelsey spills on her Jet2 working holiday to Tenerife, the surprisingly brilliant kids’ club that kept everyone happy, and Georgia gives an update on her infamous “40 Before 40” list. Expect laughs and the comforting reminder that none of us really have it all figured out. Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and join Georgia and Kelsey for another episode of Mum’s The Word.
