Get ready to laugh with us this week as we bring back some old faithful parenting podcast segments (aka. they're hilarious!). We've got parent news and the parenting confessional packed with laughs!
We kick off as usual with our yays & nays...
Becs yay: finally started herself an Insta account (@call.me.bec.rogers)
Becs yay 2: So proud of Mackenzie, being so brave on her first day of grade 1
Sam's yay: cute baby dates and one-on-one dad time
Sam's nay: poop on the carpet
Sam then gets in with some questionable and inappropriate dad jokes (sorry mum!) and then we are in on parents in the news...
We have two parents in the news stories - covering the off-beat, funny news that hits home for parents. This week we are sharing stories about:
1. Krispy Kreme free donuts for a family after baby is born in their carpark
2. Stripe accidentally attaches a kids picture of a duck on a termination email letting go of 300 staff.
We touch on Sam's upcoming punishment for his bad dad joke mix-up (send in your ideas if you want to be involved! So far Bec's idea involves an elephant costume...)
Then we've got the parenting confessional and these parents sent in their stories so you know you aren't alone when you stuff up!
We've got parents ignoring major injuries thinking they're faking it, destroying beloved toys, telling fibs to make it through the shopping, and slapping their kid thinking they were fake fainting... except they weren't faking it!
If you've had a bad week, messed up, or have no idea what you're doing while you're parenting - you're in good company with us. We may not be the best parenting channel for parenting advice, but we try to be the best at making you laugh and making you feel like you're not the only one in these trenches!
