The Unhelpful Parenting Podcast

• In trouble with the police! Parents in trouble.

  This week we are talking cyclones, trouble, and parenting news stories!Kicking off with our yay and nay of the week, Bec talks about the deep and meaningful conversations we've been having with our 6-year-old (so beautiful) and then the hard-hitting questions (so not!). Then Sam talks about the cyclone that was meant to come but didn't - although having the kids homemade a cyclone in our house.Sam's allowed one dad joke, which Bec quickly regrets and then we are into parents in the news.We start off with an old story from 2021 that we were sent, where a carjacker returned when he discovered a child in the backseat, telling off the mum for leaving them alone. Then we are talking about a parasitic twin that Sam believes is fake - but the news story is as real as it gets!We then go through the answers you sent in, to the question, 'What's your kid done that's got you in trouble?' and we have 3-year-olds lying to police, making public declarations, and a SWAT team mistakenly arriving at a dad's house!We also draw the winner to our birthday giveaway - a big congratulations to the winner!Have a laugh, like, share, rate, and review.

• Funny kids, rotten lunch and offensive fortunes!

  Welcome to all our mums and dads and new Bluey loving fans who've found us from our viral video last week! We must apologise to those left off the last episode (and Lin Manuel who's name Bec pronounced very poorly!), but we are back with all new stories and laughs this week!Kicking off with our parent yays & nays for the week - Bec is yaying their first week of having a cleaner, and Sam is naying the fact that within half an hour the house was destroyed again. Bec's nay is the baby's emotional support dust pan (it makes sense) and Sam's yay is all the kids sleeping in one room, kind of.Before we get into the episode, Bec has a mum question and is need of parent advice, which is really just grown-up advice. Cos how do you dispose of knives safely without being suspicious? Then we've got the laughs with funny kids quotes, cos kids say the darndest things! We've got two relatable parenting confessions that remind us there are no perfect kids or parents and you're doing great. Finishing off with a parents in the news story, with an awkward situation from mixed-up fortune cookies and some offensive (but funny!) cookies.

• Bluey Celebrities and a dangerous lunch box

  This episode is packed full of laughs and stories for parents in the thick of parenting (or anyone needing a laugh). We catch up with our yays and nays - both yaying the cute kids that had a kind moment of sharing and are sleeping better. Our nays we are saving for the confessional, because one of the stories sent in is a reflection of our lives right now!Into parents in the news and we've got two older stories, but they are good ones! There's the mom who accidentally invited all her 487 phone contacts to her daughter's first birthday, and another who accidentally left her hand-gun in her daughter's lunchbox at daycare.We've also got some random facts where Bec shares the list of celebrities in Bluey that she found! Did you know all these celebs made cameos in Bluey? Then we hit the confessional - with the first story about a parent sending their kids to school with NITS! This is our nay because we've had nits all week - so if you're scratching just hearing about it, then think of us!! All the washing and brushing and treatments have Bec reminding Sam that she stands by the episode where they did 'would you rather' and she argued rathering a few days of gastro over head lice that never go away!We've got other confessions with kids blurting out hilarious comments like 'look at the boobies!' and 'I made friends with a black one', and then a near-miss Home Alone moment. If you've got funny stories, we want to hear them! It goes a long way to making parents laugh and feel normal when the poo hits the fan (literally in some cases)!FOLLOW US FOR MORE!

  This unhelpful parenting podcast is FULL of funny stories, lies your kids have told and confessions!First we start with our weekly yays & nays, and parenting has hit us hard this week!Bec's yay: The hilarious moment in the butcher where the 3 year old couldn't work out where the animals were...Bec's nay: The wheels have fallen off this year.

We've got: - A Doogie Howser 13 year old impersonating a doctor- A seal caught sleeping in a hotel room (just like our kids appearing in our bed!)Then we are into the answers parents sent in (mostly on social media( to the question: what's the funniest lie your kid has told?There's kids making up whole new families, getting parents in trouble at school, bitcoin mining and blaming other people (or elephants!) for their behaviour. Then we are into the confessional - following up a story from the last parenting confession and addressing the keyboard warriors who just don't understand parenting! We've got parents who dismissed major injuries because they thought kids were faking (and feel TERRIBLE!), and parents at the opposite end who tried to follow up an injury only to find 6 weeks in their kid was faking it perfectly. If you've had a fail, and gotten it wrong - you aren't alone! So long as we are trying and doing our best to love our kids - sometimes you need to remember there's no perfect parents and no one gets it right every time! #PARENTINGSUPPORTFOLLOW US FOR MORE!
