Parenting Hell Podcast #5

[ItsmeImtheproblemitsme]

Oh absolutely! I’d have everything on tap, maybe a housekeeper or someone that does two hours every morning or something. I’d also be going on tonnes of holidays and generally living my best life with my kids. What I wouldn’t do however, is have the audacity to complain.

I am a solo parent and get no help at all from anyone. I complain less than Rob and Lou because I’m still very grateful for the life I have. It’s the ingratitude and whining that pisses me off, not the fact they have help.

Love the defensiveness though

I wonder what the opinions of this and the book are on “X”. That’s the only one thing I miss about being on it is seeing what others are saying about TV shows.

This quote from Jo Brand about Lou’s book…

 

[Katienana]

I took my 2 sons once it was incredibly hard work! They must have been 6 and 10 and both needed me to physically hold them up. I also ended up grabbing other random kids and teaching them how to stop because they had no idea and it was just chaos.

 

[Whazgoinin]

I’m still hoping they’ll get Bob Mortimer one day… but find it interesting he’s done a few other comedy podcasts and not this one yet! Although it may just be he doesn’t want to talk about his kids in such a public forum l suppose

Bob Mortimer would be fantastic!
And Joanna Page, Paul Whitehouse, David Mitchell, Katherine Parkinson, Emma Willis, Lucy Punch, Jennifer Saunders.... there's so many possibilities, especially now the children are older and there's different parenting issues

 

[ByTheWay]

To be fair if mine were up on screens until 10.30pm the night before they would be unbearable the next day, and if I've travelled for work they're particularly clingy too. That said, they do love their grandparents more than me so they probably wouldn't have a problem with me not coming

 

[CaptainHolt]

Today's episode was very boring. Clearly couldn't get enough content from the guest so just ended up bickering between themselves and for once Josh was also quite annoying.

 

[Tatvam]

To be fair I think it only highlights it for the people who follow Rob, as IG shows you comments of people you follow above other people’s. So most people following Rob would be aware of the pod and get the joke. These comments may not be top of the list for a lot.

No not when its from a verified account with over 1m followers

I think we’ll gradually see more of the kids to be honest. At one point we didn’t see them at all, but even without showing their face, I still know what they wear and what their hair looks like. And this isn’t taking the piss but if they look like Rob, then I bet I could pick them out

From the little they’ve shown 1 of them looks like Rob

 

[Raydog]

Was that the really hilarious chaotic one?

Yes it was brilliant

 

[Buzz_off]

Remember they started during lockdowns when people were generally free

 

[DontQuoteMe]

I really liked today’s episode with Bryony. I remember her from Bake off. Thought she had good energy and banter

 

[ItsmeImtheproblemitsme]

Ugh, nepo-wifey

there’ll be non-authors with their names on a piece of card won’t there?

 

[DrMeredithGrey]

I braced myself and listened …it did make me smile that Josh was telling Rob he needed more adults and the penguin rules!
I was surprised that Rob thought it would be ok to take a year 6 child to Oz for a year because it was year 6 then straight back into high school

I was wondering about SATS when he said that too

 

[ItsmeImtheproblemitsme]

Saw Lou’s story yesterday that they arrived home jet lagged so kids woke up at 3:30 and they still sent them to school that’s something chavvy Sue Radford does. Poor teachers (even private school ones) aren’t paid enough to deal with that.

Working class mentality- getting their moneys worth

 

[BugglyWuggly]

So many comedians. Too many possibly? I'd love to have seen Josh on there. Rob will be good though.

 

[N-NewGirl]

Last Leg is always filmed live on a Friday night, never pre recorded

 

[DrMeredithGrey]

I saw both Rob and Josh in there separate shows last year and I liked joshes a lot more, although did find a few of his jokes were the same as the pod where as Rob’s I don’t think I’d heard before.

I much preferred Josh.
I think he flows better, and even the bits I’d heard were funnier.

 

[ToTheWindowToTheWall]

Listened to a recent one where Josh was debating moving his holiday and he said when he does go away he does nothing, no day trips or exploring. Maybe it's just me, but if you go on nice holidays, it's to experience culture and find things that only that particular country has. Totally appreciate that if he enjoys it, there's nothing wrong with staying in the hotel, but I would feel guilty that I've travelled to a country and not discovered it. Just me being very much jealous of the fact he has the time and finances to do all the things, but decides not to. Each to their own.
