Parenting Hell Podcast #5

Oh dear Lou & Rob on JR show why? why is she putting herself through this?

Would a book from a first time ‘author’ be getting this much publicity if their husband wasn’t a well known comedian?

 

[twolittlegeese]

She looks so uncomfortable on JR I think I feel a bit sorry for her!

It’s weird but I don’t feel sorry for her

 

[welshgirl2021]

Wow interesting Rob only has an automatic driving license

I haven’t watched the JR Show yet, but up until this book Lou always came across to me as a bit shy, so I was really surprised when she started doing TV shows and public appearances

 

[Shez80]

How is it doing in the charts, or is it too early to tell? Can't imagine anybody would want to buy it tbh.

 

[CinnamonBun]

Probably not many default parents who would have childcare for so long while both parents are away.

I think she said yesterday it was 16 on amazon.

 

[MissTeddy]

Wow! That’s very good I guess… amazing what people will buy
I imagine she feels very validated.

I downloaded a sample of her book and in the dedication she thanks Rob, the kids, her parents, and the person who looks after her kids

ohhh , but it’s so hard having no help

Aka Nanny probably live in when needed …it’s laughable!

 

[Meowsy]

Maybe the Nanny can come out with a sequel “Lessons from a default caretaker: survival guide to looking after the kids when both parents are off doing their own mit”

I heard James Acaster refer to Rob and Josh’s nannies recently - they only ever mention babysitters or ‘person who picks kids up’ etc…

It’s funny how they (and many others) hide nannies from conversation as if it’s that that makes their lives the most unrelatable, not the millions in the bank, faces on the tv, opportunities beyond us plebs’ wildest dreams .

 

[Runner1]

Has anyone seen Josh and Rose’s house in the times style guide - there is a video floating around. It is incredible!! Fair play to him. Rob’s horror at him leaving London is ridiculous when you see what he’s swapped it for.

 

[Longtimebrowser]

I think in their situation of “parenting hell” and now “default parenting” it really doesn’t go with their brand to admit they have a whole other person helping full time

That is their holiday home in Cornwall - amazing isn't it.
They are now renovating their family home in Exeter. Rose's interior style isn't to my personal taste but she i find it fascinating to see her creativity.

 

[mindlessness]

Rose has a good eye I think. She used to do some antiques/vintage selling via IG. Not sure if she still does now the interior design business has started up? But anyway, she found really unique things! Not all to my taste but more interesting than a lot of IG interiors stuff.

I listened to that episode but more took his comments about nannies as a joke? He's good friends with Josh, so I saw it as a bit of ribbing.

Obviously Josh and Rob have mentioned babysitters and nannies before, but I don't think either of them have someone who's there all the time?
