Parenting Olympics and parent fails and funny stories – The Unhelpful Parenting Podcast Ep. 23

Welcome to this week’s Unhelpful Parenting Podcast with an Olympic twist!

To start we are doing our Yays and Nays, talking school drop-offs, getting kids to focus on any activity for more than 5 minutes, our love for the tuckshop apps and frustration at gold coin collections (because who has cash on hand these days?!).

Before we get to talking parents at the Olympics, parenting and the Olympics and parent Olympic moments, we have four hilarious parenting moments in the confessional this week!

Whether you’re a mum who’s bragged about their kid, only to have them go insane when you hoped they’d show off, or a dad who’s had to convince security that your tantrum-ing child IS yours (or maybe you’ve dropped a phone on your newborn) – you’ll be able to relate quite well to these funny parent stories!

Then we get to the Olympics chat and talking about it from the parenting perspective. We talk about how it hits different as you get older, and you move from watching thinking ‘I could do that’ to ‘I wonder if my kid could do that’.

We talk about some Olympic stories that have come through, with parents wearing heart rate monitors while watching their kids compete and the absolute boss mode of the Turkish man who got silver in the shooting events.

Then we turn to the relatable parent Olympic events. Backstroke but with a 3yo sitting on top, or cycling with smudgy fingerprints and toys all over the track! Comment to tell us what your relatable event would be!

The call out this week is for all the dads as we start to prepare for our Father’s Day episode – send us your dad fails and your dad brag moments. Have you gone boss mode and had an awesome moment? Or do you have a funny dad fail to admit to? Send us your stories and join the fun! (Mums – you can still send yours to the confessional too of course!)
