Parenting Hell Podcast #5

New to Tattle Life? Click "Order Thread by Most Liked Posts" button below to get an idea of what the site is about:
I think the change in guests has come from their decision to start filming the pod. Whereas before a lot of guests could just jump on a zoom call or something, now they’ve got to do a full studio set up and either won’t want to do that or will charge a lot more

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

I just came on here to say the same thing! The title was faithful or traitor but they didn’t mention it once?
I wonder if they’ve got some editing issues because one episode Josh talks about his ski trip and then a few episodes later he’s talking about “when he goes on the ski trip”. It’s actually really annoying when you listen in order
I listen on Spotify and in the episode notes it says something like there is actually no talk of Traitors but Michael is going to milk it for all it's worth (click bait basically)🤭😂

I mean, a lot of these people might have been asked but maybe they don’t want to talk about their family for a variety of reasons. I love both Helen Skelton and Bob Mortimer but Helen went through a pretty bad divorce while her youngest was still a baby and maybe doesn’t want to end up getting into all that. I googled and Bob doesn’t really talk about his kids

Yes that’s true, but she often will speak about them in other things and on her insta, and to be honest, some of the guests don’t really say much about parenting at all! 🤣🤣🤣

The Faithful of Traitor ep was just clickbait as it was the first one to go out after the announcement - it does say in the episode notes for that ep but easily missed.

I think quite often the pod just doesn't go out in the order it's recorded in, hence today we have an episode recorded before Rob goes away for Traitors but we've already had a few weeks of him being back and talking Strictly with Josh.

I don't think there will be any major traitors chat on the pod due to spoilers until after the series starts now

Screenshot taken from Rob’s new England/Google pixel ad with Jack Grealish. I don’t ever recall him saying he had a tattoo before. Is it new? Anyone know anything about it?

I’m so behind, I’ve had to endure a voice note from Lou. Poor wee lassie, having to deal with dodgy electrics…oh no wait, they (Rob, from China!?) rang someone and it got sorted. Dog ran off- that’s what they do sometimes. How non eventful are their weekends normally if she’s panicking about the odd thing going wrong? 😑 Inconvenient? yes. Worthy of a six minute voice note in the name of ‘entertainment’? No. Loved Josh’s complete disregard to Rob’s enthusiasm about his Needoh story 🤣. Rob’s such a faddy person, anything new or on trend and he’s on it. Wonder where all his daughter’s Labubu’s have gone😆.

The default parent has been away again for the second time this month… to Nashville. I’d be embarrassed to put my name to that book.

RaTtLEd or what!? We know she’s the default parent. I understand what a default parent is. I know it doesn’t mean she can’t leave the house. Stop trying to make it a thing 🤣.

Wow, no wonder whiner Lou is a PuBLisheD AuTHoR with that witty repartee

As if anyone’s sending her mean DMs.

It’s fine to go away without your kids, mate. Maybe don’t make a whole drama and do a book tour about how you’re so put upon. We know what ‘default parent’ means, but do you?

My favourite part of the whole “default parent” bull was her book tour that she dragged her husband along for so neither of them were parenting at all 👍🏻

Also “do whatever works for you” is such a privileged statement. What “works” for me (as a single parent working full time in a low paid job) is not necessarily what I can do.
