This week, the guys are recovering from Book Week - the annual tradition of parents spending far too much time and money making costumes their children will wear once before deciding they hate them. Who has the time when there are more parenting dilemmas to deal with?! This week the boys attempt to answer (but not give advice) on: Is it OK to ask another parent not to swear? How do you tell a friend you don’t want your kids playing with their constantly sick kids? Should you buy a present for siblings to avoid birthday disappointment? Plus, the guys weigh in on Oreo-gate and discuss what parents should actually be doing with their kids instead of telling each other off. Because apparently parenting wasn’t already complicated enough. ______________________________________________________________________________ You can grab a copy of Ash's new book The Secret Ingredient here.
