Righto, here we are. Book three in The Opinions of Parenting series, where parenting advice is handed out like sausage sizzles at a Saturday Bunnings, often unwanted, occasionally undercooked, and always with someone nearby insisting you're doing it all wrong.This time we're diving into the school years. That glorious chapter where small humans become slightly bigger ones, and parents are suddenly expected to master lunchbox nutrition, be across every themed dress-up day, and understand what the heck a decodable reader is. Good luck with that.From the first nerve-wracking drop-off to those suspiciously early pupil-free days, school brings a whole new world of "opinions". Should you pack carrot sticks or just accept your kid only eats Tiny Teddies? Is it bad form to avoid the PTA like it's a dodgy seafood buffet? And why does every school photo make your child look like they're either being held hostage or mid-wind?And let's not forget the mixed messages. One expert says let them fail, the next says helicopter harder. Your Aussie mate reckons sport is king, while your Kiwi cousin says just let them be kids and chuck 'em outside with no shoes on. Everyone's got an opinion, and none of them match.So if you've ever sent your kid to school on a public holiday, accidentally included a banned snack, or worn pyjama pants to drop-off (on purpose), this one's for you.Pull up a chair, pour a cuppa, or something stronger, and join the chaos of the school years. Honest, hilarious, and just the right amount of unhinged.
