I’ve not caught up but I’ve realised I’ve not heard (or taken in) any mention of Rose’s mum lately? Did she move with them?

No this rings a bell..and she did some teasery insta stories clutching a notebook heading into London but couldn't share what it was. Assume it was a writing course
Wasn’t it Handbag design?? The only reason I remember is because the only other person I know who did this is someone I know who is also married to a very wealthy personNo this rings a bell..and she did some teasery insta stories clutching a notebook heading into London but couldn't share what it was.

I would 100% support her making ‘Default Parent’ tote bags- at least that’s useful and you’re acknowledging your position in the family
My guess is , she wanted to do something to fulfill her … a creative endeavour as it didn’t need to be a moneymaker as Rob earns so well , and she also wanted something she could sell to the audience that Rob has
she decided to try and do a fashion course as she thought she might shill some handbags to the parenting hell listeners but then … she wrote a blog post about being a parent , and because she’s got a platform and parenting hell is a great promotional tool , a literary agent got in touch . And said hey Lou , want to write a book . Publisher gave her a large advance because she’s a guaranteed sell and lo and behold …. Lou thought yeah that’ll do to fulfill my creative pursuits , and sacked off the fashion course

It's not often I skip episodes but I really don't think I can even rage-listen to today's episode.
Interested to see what those that have listened make of it.

Hard pass from me! I wonder if alot of people feel the same and they will notice a dip in listener figures this week?

Yeah, I’m not listening either
Ooh I was expecting someone a bit more high profile and controversial when I went into podcasts 
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a wave of jealousy thinking: I was I was a millionaire default parent with endless holidays and not having to work etc. But its like most who write a book or online presence. Eg cleaning influencers cleaning an already gleaming kitchen or like Joe Wick's wife being super trim and eating incredibly nutritious stuff.
People want to watch or buy their stuff, and they dont want the mega mundane, wall to wall jacket potato life most of us have. I guess the main thing is remembering that's not how 95% of people live. And not comparing and despairing that we don't do x y z when we don't have the same time, funded or family support as some.
I enjoyed the episode but like with most of the celeb parents on there, realising that whilst we have some universal parenting issues/experiences, they are never going to be the same as us average Joe's. But then again the podcasts with John Bishop etc are 90% entertainment and 20% relatable rather than the other way round !

The husband and wife duo are on the Jonathan Ross Show tomorrow night. Because of course they are.

I do not want to be told how hard it is to be a default parent from the wife of a millionaire who doesn’t work a traditional job , doesn’t have to worry about budgeting , has family around and is easily able to help her out … sorry your tower is the wrong shade of ivory , Lou !
it feels out of touch to me . Not saying she hasn’t got struggles because it’s all relative and I’m sure with Rob being away a lot comes with its challenges … but if it is a woe is me act I don’t love that look
HOWEVER , if I had endless money , I would get Rose to decorate my house for me though
so make of that what you will

Just feels very forced, the bit where she said it was more the mental load, like she’d made up the term default parent herself .
No one doubts she’s the default and it’s frustrating and tiring, but I can guarantee if Rob offered to do everything then she’d still be thinking about it all regardless and they’d have quibbles about how he did it differently. Speaking from someone who knows

Haven’t listened to the pod because I’m months behind.
I wouldn’t mind reading the book though if I can find a free kindle download. I draw the line at paying for it

I hate the bleeping term. If your partner is a layabout a who isn’t hands on with the kids and treats you like a skivvy, I’ll accept it. But many partners are working hard and would love to be more hands on than they are. We know from the podcast for a fact that Rob does loads with those kids and would clearly do a lot more if he was around more often. So what is she saying about him then? She doesn’t work. He earns stacks for the household and it’s because of this that he isn’t around as much. So what does she want? Him to do less? She’s more than happy he’s paying for the nice holidays. FFS, pick a bleeping lane, Lou. We know they have family help and a nanny that’s alluded to. Ridiculous.
I do understand the term was ‘assumed responsibility’ and I completely get it, but to me- without going all MAGA and misogynistic- that’s what a (usually) mother does. It is exhausting but I’m currently on a weekend away, surprised by my husband. He’s forgotten literally anything useful other than two sets of clothes for the kid. I’ve let him get on with it as no one’s gonna get hurt, but he doesn’t understand that as soon as he told me, I had already mentally packed everything and was sorting stuff in my head. You can’t really teach that kinda thing. Although MIL once said to the baby ‘oh look, mummy’s forgotten your bib’….I went off at her about her son also forgetting the bloody bib.
