We are catching up on some hilarious confessions and funny parenting stories that were sent in this week!
First we catch up and have a quick yay vs nay of our weeks – something we are loving and not loving.
Bec’s yay: school holidays are coming (and we are still at the point where this is exciting…)
Bec’s nay: teaching a 5yo to sleep who thinks it’s too ‘boring’
Sam’s yay: we found the mystery smell in the house (we’ve mentioned in a past episode)
Sam’s nay: it was really gross and he had to clean it!
Sam’s dad joke came in threes this week and we had a good laugh. They may be bad dad jokes… but isn’t that what makes them good?
Bec shares another ‘parents in the news’ (or ‘random a*s facts by Bec’ as Sam likes to call it), where she catches us up on funny and odd news from around the world that us parents would find funny. This week we had teachers worried about a shoe stealing, foot fetish motivated thief at a Japanese kindergarten…
Then this parenting podcast gets into what we are really here for – to laugh at the funny stories that happened to real life parents in the thick of parenting.
This week the funny parents and embarrassing stories sent to the confessional include:
A toddler crying over his poop
A parent who’s attempt to explain their dog dying doesn’t go as planned
A hilarious little girl who’s bored of church
A toddler who didn’t get the memo about the pandemic!
A travelling with kids nightmare story
One of our own sneaky stories from this morning before recording!
A dad who left a kid behind
An awkward commentary at a restaurant
And a funny teacher story from a kid who obviously didn’t understand the question!
A huge thank you to the parents of these funny stories! The Unhelpful Parenting Podcast is all about making these ridiculous parenting moments something we realise we all have. It’s not just your kids who do hilarious(ly frustrating and insane) things.
