Hannah & Louise are joined by award-winning comedian, writer, and star of The Mash Report, Rachel Parris. As a mum of a 3-year-old, Rachel knows all about tantrums, toddler chaos, and the joys (and disasters) of parenting while trying to juggle a busy career.
They dive into the reality of surviving the 9-week summer holidays, from spending a fortune on kids clubs to the bittersweet truth of spending a fortune on family holidays only to end up sharing a room with all your kids. Do we all just end up drinking wine in the bathroom?
Expect chat about kids refusing bedtime, Louise’s trip to Turkey with the in-laws, Hannah’s husband ruptured appendix drama. Rachel also opens up about her own parenting journey, from navigating toddler tantrums, relying on her teenage step-kids as babysitters, and wrestling with maternal instincts.
She shares stories about wanting her child to share her love of music, the shock of the school run look vs. glam night out transformations, and what happens when your kid doesn’t even recognise you dressed up.
The conversation also takes some hilarious detours with Hannah’s swimming lesson mishaps, Louise’s kids hijacking her phone and going live, and yes… the infamous kids pooing in the street moment.
This is parenting, raw and unfiltered: messy, chaotic, funny, and very, very real.
