The Unhelpful Parenting Podcast
We are back with the Unhelpful Parenting Podcast, this week with more confessions, funny stories, un-motivations and would you rathers.
Kick starting with the yays and nays, we catch you up on our highs and lows of parenting this week.
Sam is yaying the cute personalities coming out as each kid grows, but naying the way we sometimes just snap as parents (especially at 1am in the morning!!). Bec is yaying reaching the 1 year mark with baby number 3, but naying getting in trouble by the empathetic 5yo for killing a bug. She sneaks in an extra nay, feeling terrible for how poorly organised the first birthday if baby 3 is and how neglected the third child is in comparison to the first 😅
Sam gets his dad joke in and then we hit the parenting confessional with 4 hilarious stories sent in this week...
1. A new mum getting a baby carrier cover and skirt mixed up.
2. Siblings bribing each other to leave.
3. Toddlers pulling on clothes and flashing mamma's boobs at the bank.
4. Another dad who landed himself in ICU when he found out his wife was in labour (this time from a nut allergy and eating the wrong chocolate bar!).
We ask that you keep sending in your stories and funny kids quotes, but this week Bec has collated all the brutal things you've sent in that they've said. Sam cues the track and we have a beautiful un-motivational moment reading through some like 'you're ruining my life'. Just what every parent wants to hear.
This takes us to a deeper parenting discussion on failing as parents and modelling how to fail for our kids. We aren't meant to be perfect parents, but we are the best parents for our kids.
That's as close to helpful as you'll get as Sam finishes us off with a would you rather? We are talking gastro vs nits and head butts vs standing on Lego.
We finish with a call out for your helpful hacks. Send us the little things that make parenting just that slight bit easier for you! We are talking the tabs on juice boxes turning into handles, or oats to bulk up expensive breakfast cereal!
Share us with your friends and show us some love (while we contend with the nasty side of the internet comments on recent posts!) and come back next week for more!!!
