Funny reasons why kids (and mums) have cried – The Unhelpful Parenting Podcast Ep. 37

We asked what the funniest thing your kid has cried over and the answers did not disappoint! From not being allowed to eat from the bin to looking for booger that’s fallen out of their nose – these kids are funny and your parenting stories are hilarious.

The kids weren’t the only ones either – the pregnant mom stories and reasons you’ve cried while pregnant had us in stitches too!

But to start the episode we kick off with our weekly yays and nays.

Bec’s yay: Sam’s turned into a Christmas elf! He loves Christmas now!

Bec’s nay: She tried doing groceries with the 3 kids and has major regrets.

Sam’s yay: The kids are making him love Christmas – the magic is real!

Sam’s nay: There’s not enough room in our house for Christmas stuff now.

Sam’s dad joke is met with a few crickets but that’s what makes a good dad joke right? And just before it gets him in any trouble, we head into parents in the news – or as Sam likes to put it ‘Random ass facts with Bec’.

This week in the off beat, random news we’ve got:

A follow up from swapping babies, with another news story out of Norway where babies were swapped, and the health authorities didn’t say anything when they realised 10+years later, and left it for 60 years before the families discovered it themselves!

A kid in the UK shutting down the school because he brought in a ‘historic incendiary device’ that was a live explosive in for show and tell!

A DNA test that showed mum and dad of 3 kids were actually cousins and never knew!

Then we’ve got the answers to what your kids have cried over. There’s heaps of funny kid stories and a few funny parenting moments!

With toddler meltdowns over not being able to say goodbye before flushing the toilet, to getting a new microwave – most of these reasons for tears had us in tears too!

We finish off with the reasons pregnant moms have cried too – from how beautiful the fireworks are to making sandwiches – the hormones are rough but the stories we get for the podcast are hilarious.
