Swapped at birth + lying kids! The Unhelpful Parenting Podcast ep. 36

The confessional is back with 2 hilarious parent stories, plus Bec has more parent news with 2 mind-blowing stories for parents. Then we share the answers you sent to our question: what's the funniest lie your kid has tried to tell you.

To start, we catch up with our weekly yay and nays...

Bec's yay: It's Christmas time! Kids make Christmas magic!

Bec's nay: Our kids hate pizza (are they even our kids?!)

Sam's yay: Our baby is growing up (this is also his nay!)

Sam can't help squeezing in a dad joke and we shake our heads at it all the way into the confessional.

The confessional is a funny parent's dream this week! We've got two stories that are both embarrassing and hilarious!

First: a throwback to the days of Blockbuster and an awkward moment when the church pastor arrived and had an enormous miscommunication thanks to the kid. Second: an honest observation moment from a kid that felt more like an insult.

Bec then has two 'parents in the news' stories - that Sam likes to refer to as 'Bec's random ass facts'. She shares the stories from recent news on the Wicked dolls with an awkward typo on the box, and a baby swapped at birth who found out in the strangest of ways!

Then we've got all your stories in the answers to the question 'whats the funniest lie your kid has tried to tell you?' We've got:

Kids blaming inanimate objects and siblings for their behaviour, telling mum what they have definitely NOT done, uncreative teenagers, and another that didn't realise they were on a shared account.

We finish by putting the call out for the next few weeks.

What is the funniest thing someone has cried over in your house? Kid tantrums, teenage meltdowns, pregnant mom moments - we want to know why you cried!

And then in the lead-up to Christmas - start sending us your Christmas and holiday fail stories! What's your vacation horror story? What's your Christmas horror stories? Or funny moments? The ones that become legend or the little ones that you still remember.

Come back next week for more laughs and make sure you send us some love on socials!
