Bumpie Group Chat: the many identity shifts of motherhood, aging, reasons why we choose NOT to drink, neighbour dramas & more!

It’s been a long time since we put the call out for an Ask Us Anything style Q&A and luckily for our egos, Bumpies delivered with a huge range of interesting, juicy and curious questions! We jumped straight into…

• How is Sophie going with her pursuit for a hobby?

• Our screen time keeps sneaking up and we have mixed feelings

• Am I The Asshole if I won’t let my neighbour borrow my chairs!?

• Aging is feeling confronting, but do we have to ‘fix’ it?

• Our thoughts on Botox and Jayde’s journey with injectables

• Should we ever *convince* our partner to have more kids?

• Gender disappointment vs gender disconnect and how it is becoming more obvious as Jayde’s girls grow

• We share our experiences with alcohol and sobriety - from boundaries to numbing emotions to role-modelling to our children, this one was complicated

• What are simple ways we can enjoy motherhood more?

• Mum or Chief Facilitator? The mental load of family time

• How do you handle your friends' parenting differently to you?
