Never have I ever, the parent edition – The Unhelpful Parenting Podcast ep. 30

Sam is running the show today – so look out! We are talking dad jokes, washing machines, single parent shoutouts, hilarious kid mispronunciations, ‘cool’ parent attempts, and a never have I ever parenting edition.

Kicking off with our weekly ‘yays’ and ‘nays’…

Bec’s yay: her washing machine. Other mums often ask what to buy before having kids – Bec says buy a big washing machine so all the bedding can go in at once! Her

Bec’s nay: her latest nickname from the 3yo who is learning he is a ‘big boy’ so she is a ‘big mummy’ to him.

Sam’s yay: having school back, not cos he hates the holidays but because he loves the routine.

Sam’s nay: is our latest wave of all-over-the-place weather, bringing a new wave of bugs and viruses.

We do a special shoutout to the single parents. We recognise a lot of our banter and experience is around parenting as a married couple, and wanted to take a moment to appreciate that single parents have an added complexity to an already complex part of life – so to all the single parents – we salute you!

INTO THE CONFESSIONAL! This week we have 3 stories off the back of the one we got sent last episode. From the parent poorly explaining what a stripper was, and then having his daughter tell people that’s what she wanted to be (cos who wouldn’t want to dance for money?), we have… the boy who wanted to be a hooker (cos squirrels), the boy with the hooker truck (cos that makes so much more sense than a tow truck), and the kid who thought he was dressed as a ‘child predator’ for Halloween!

Finishing off with another parent story sent in, confessing to trying to be cool and using the latest slang the wrong way (who knew ‘skibbidy’ was an insult?!). We laugh about all the latest slang and how we already have no clue!

In the final segment of this parenting podcast, we play an extremely unhelpful (but fun!) round of ‘never have I ever’, parenting edition. Play along and see how many you get – have you dozed off on the toilet? Or ran an errand just to ‘get away’? We come close to almost ALL of them, but Sam wins out this round (just!). We do all the parent talk and laughs in this one!

Come back next week where we are talking sleep deprivation – and send us your funny stories of what you’ve done cos you were sleep deprived!
