The Contagion of Family Estrangement & The TikTok Dad Double Standard

Beer cans with the bride and groom's faces on them, a dress that just HAD to be Aussie, and a dog in a dress... Yes, we're talking about Albo's wedding, and the problem with marrying the Prime Minister.

Also, what does the winner of the TikTok Awards — a dad of four who posts pranks and skits with his kids online — tell us about the different standards for the way men and woman 'sharent'?

And everyone's talking about an Oprah Winfrey show episode, which is extremely 2011, about family estrangement, and the 'contagion' of going 'No Contact' with your family. Only problem is... Are all these boundaries kind of Oprah's fault?

Plus, why Robert Irwin has achieved world domination by being... nice.

Holly, Amelia and Jessie get into it. AND into some Mamamia merch. For the first time ever, MMOL T-shirts and tote bags are discounted! Get the T-shirt for $50 and the tote bag for $20. Sale ends Dec 6. Shop now. 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉
