Parenting Hell Podcast #4

[YoungHollywood]

New thread! First time I have ever made one so I have done it correctly!

 

[CaptainHolt]

Thanks, I've yet to start a thread so appreciate you doing it!

 

[softlygently]

Thanks for making the new thread. Looks all right to me!
I’m just listening to Daisy May Cooper now. I was initially thinking that she’s ok and the swearing wasn’t that bad.Thought maybe I didn’t mind swearing that much. I’m now about 19 minutes in and don’t know how much more I can take. It’s a lot.

It really is a lot isn't it... And I'd say I swear frequently too!

The DMC episode was a strange one. A little bit about how annoying she finds her daughter and then a long expletive laden advert for her new book. Didn’t really feel it was in the spirit of the pod, to be honest.

 

[YoungHollywood]

Loved the pod today - I was howling at the Ann Widdecombe thing

Me too. You can hear the realisation dawn on Josh

Me too, although I didn't actually get it?! Like why did he even have that profile pic anyway even if he didn't think it was going on every email?!

I have to start by saying I love this pod, it’s my favourite one by far. But I’m starting to get a bit aggravated by how often they both complain about being so busy and stressed and tired, as though this is caused by something completely out of their control. They’re busy and stressed because they’re greedy and say yes to every single opportunity that comes their way, and are making millions of pounds per year because of this. They could easily scale this back probably by half, and still do the pod, a couple of tv shows, a couple of live shows, and still make a fortune.

I don't think it's necessarily greed. I think there's probably an element of "this could all end tomorrow" and wanting to make sure they've got themselves and their kids some security in life.

Yeah, they have actually touched on this quite a bit over the years. They also acknowledge moaning about being tired is tedious in their position etc

I felt sorry for Josh today when Gino and Rob were both picking on him so much!

I know I wasn’t anticipating Gino to go in so hard on him

Is it a hard listen?!
I might avoid if so

On the other hand, they could also employ lots more staff, full time nannies etc but they don’t (or they don’t say - I know they have babysitters etc but they don’t seem like they have proper “staff”). They seem very hands on and well rounded family units.

I’m not sure Gino came across as someone who was all that interested in parenting or talking about it, but I quite enjoyed the episode.

No not a hard listen and actually as the ep goes on they move on to talk about other stuff. I just have a soft spot for Josh.

I really struggle when Rob picks on him , he doesn’t know when to give up sometimes

 

[Shez80]

Really felt for Josh today, it was an uncomfortable listen at times and Josh was definitely a bit quiet after the lasagne chat.
If Josh wants to eat porridge everyday and have lasagne at Xmas that's OK..! Playground bully vibes today.

Haven’t listened yet but oh will Rob get over the porridge - especially as he is the one who bores on and ooooon about his diet all the the time and all the low calorie “healthy” stuff he eats!
