• When the parenting fails go from bad to worse!

  If you've ever felt like getting your kid into an after-school club is harder than buying Oasis concert tickets, this episode is for you! Louise and Hannah dive deep into the most chaotic parts of parenting, starting with the logistical nightmare of securing club spaces before they instantly fill up. We confess to the difficulty of running children to all their activities only to fall asleep at music recitals and wonder how long we have to pretend the violin doesn't sound like nails down a blackboard. We get honest about the pressure to give our kids the best start, even knowing that only 0.04% of kids become professionals at their hobby. The chaos doesn't stop there: we share stories of kids with no filter, like Louise's daughter asking a man if he was having a baby because he was "just fat," and the unbelievable tale of a three-year-old slapping a woman's bum in public. The shock continues as Hannah recounts her traumatic chicken pox nightmare while on holiday, which ended with her son being escorted off the plane on the way home. We also share a mortifying listener fail about a child walking in on parents having "quiet time," Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

• Harriet Kemsley on Divorce, dating, and Coparenting

  Welcome to Episode 14 with the hilarious stand-up comedian and single mum, Harriet Kemsley! Harriet joins us to talk all things co-parenting, getting back into the dating game after divorce, and how a tarot card reading led her to uncover a truly bizarre piece of emotional baggage (ahem, a plaster cast of her ex-husband's penis) behind her sofa. Harriet discusses how she manages her dyspraxia, her fear of bananas and the challenges of co-parenting styles, arguing that sometimes it's simply better to handle things by text than in person. The conversation is packed with funny and honest moments, including swapping stories about chaotic parenting fails, the weirdest things we've bought at 3 AM on Amazon (like fake poo and fake parking tickets), and that unforgettable time Louise's husband found a grenade in their garden and had to call the bomb squad! It's an episode filled with chaos, laughter, and ultimate honesty about single mum life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
