Heartbreak High has scared me!

I LOVED HBH, devoured it. BUT… wtf. Please tell me high school isn’t like that now? Do I seriously have to panic that my kids are going to be sleeping with every boy/girl they come within 1m of, or if not sleeping with them, belittling and bullying them? I know as a parent I have to teach them right from wrong but please tell me that isn’t standard. Ta, panicked mum (my kids aren’t even in primary yet but…)

Autism in babies

Hi Em! Loving Extra! I was just wondering whether you noticed any traits in Elio when he was a baby that, in hindsight, you now know was part of his autism diagnosis? I’m talking 0-12 month olds who are too young to diagnose. I’m seeing a lot of ‘in hindsight’ tiktoks from mums and can’t help but self diagnose my 10 month old and it’s stressing me out!

Character phone calls during filming scenes

Hey lovelies! quick one for Michael - when characters call each other in scenes, does the call really happen? do they really have the conversation on the phone? We see the phones with the calls going ahead on the screens etc. It's something I've always wondered. ❤

Elio's Big Boy Bed!

Hello both! Just wondering how Elio's transition from co-sleeping to Big Boy Bed is going? Hope he's smashing it!

Qs from book

Hi Em and Michael! This is a bit of a personal one for Em, but I’ve been curious about this since reading your book years ago and never hearing you speak about them. Are you friends with Lyndon anymore? And are you close to your sister?
