Agree, it’s like when you are on maternity leave (if it’s just you taking it and not doing shared) then of course you are the default because that’s what you are there to do. Often this just continues when you return to work because you are already in the swing of it. Lou is essentially on permanent mat leave and wonders why she has to do everything for their kids. I say everything when in reality that’s not the case as we know Rob does more than a lot of Dads.
I’m proud to be the default parent to be honest. Nothing makes me smugger to find I’m the one they want, and dad’s forgotten something again- means I can use it as leverage to get something I want- usually a trip away 
Yeah agree completely, what is the best shes hoping for really?! She needs to get back to work if its pissing her off that much then she'll realise that stuff still falls on her and she'll get to fit in a real life job on top of it all too
grow up LouiseRob does do loads as well from what we know, i cant lie the long a trips away from work would grate after a while but she rarely if ever has to deal with the stomach churning dread when a child is ill again and instead of your first thought being for your sick baby its along the lines of ffs I have to be off work again and then feeling guilty because thats your first thought. She isnt living in the real world. I just find naturally that women's brains are more adept for the admin and mental load that goes with it and I say that as a feminist, its not about that its just biology ultimately and I think we forget that men as nurturing parents is still quite new in terms of evolution etc
That all went a bit deep bahaha, I just cant imagine taking her seriously tbh

Exactly that-we’re constantly told to fight against biology. Just crack on being ‘default’ and enjoy it while you aren’t at work. Maybe don’t write a book if you’re exhausted. Maybe don’t plan all the holidays and see what happens. If anything happened to them as a couple, she’d be insufferable🥱Yeah agree completely, what is the best shes hoping for really?!

I think I know people like her, and that’s why it’s so triggering
. She almost brags whilst simultaneously moaning, which I think is one of the worst kinds of people Rose seems more content buying lamps and sofas than being concerned about the school gates stuffOkay, so that last episode has clawed Rob back a bit- Josh’s baggy boxers are a big ick for me Although I fully agree with him that if we all die together, I’m fine, but if I go before evrybody else- I’ll get FOMO
Also, Lou acknowledging skating tips from Josh were a good idea- have they been reading here?

Exactly the same hereI’m proud to be the default parent to be honest. Nothing makes me smugger to find I’m the one they want, and dad’s forgotten something again- means I can use it as leverage to get something I want- usually a trip away
I didn't even realise it was a thing, let alone something to write a bloody book about.Did anyone see her insta story in the ice bath? I genuinely thought it was an old grandma before i released who's insta i was on
Yes she looked so different!Exactly the same here

Have seen both Rob and Josh on their tours recently. Wasn’t sure what to expect from Rob as a stand up tbh but he was brilliant. Both of them very good shows but Rob definitely edged it for me!
I’m the opposite - I really thought Josh was much better!
I’ve seen Rob years ago, he’s funny but I always come away thinking he’s a a bit try hard and cringe- even though I know he’s funny! I try to catch all of Josh’s tours though. I found a photo of my friend and me with Rob after the show- I’d forgotten I’d met him
It's very lads lads lads today, and I say that as someone who grew up in a house full of brothers and sports.
I was slightly surprised that Josh asked Rob to explain Talksport to "the mums listening". Also when he was talking about his daughters, he said he was "lucky" that they're not caking their faces in makeup and wearing mini skirts, and then the whole thing about shaking womens' hands. It felt a bit 1950s at times.

Aren’t they only 10&8?
Oh god sorry not Rob, I meant Andy Goldstein from Talksport, his daughters are teenagers
I found Josh to be a bit of a wick today, he had his "Rob" head on talking over and labouring various points.
This episode yet again proved to me that blokes in the sporting industry are the biggest bores.
You're right about the hand shakingand the "caked in makeup" comments - ick x a million!

I hated today’s ep. Felt like a huge step backwards alienating mums and women - no idea who the guest was and I’ll always listen anyway. Sounded like a complete tosser. The lads will say it’s banter but they can def do better
I was surprised by today's episode I must say! As others have mentioned, it was rather 1950s at points and the ribbing of Rob's new acquaintance was just weird. Didn't sit right with me, but maybe I'm being a snowflake there.
Yeah that was a crappy episode. First time I've ever felt uncomfortable like that listening to them.
Same. I also found the “explain to the mums” bit awkward. It all felt pretty uncomfortable during the questions at the end, they’d made a big point about rob idolising this guy and then he didn’t really know how to react to the answer about bin bags!
