The Schools in Manchester Are Fantastic

Ry's daughter was bullied at school, and he says it affected her confidence all the way through. She spent every lunch time alone, every break time alone. His son is now in his final year of a junior school which has been 'the making of him' Ry: I can't imagine how difficult it is for you to have a child that's not really enjoying it there.

Episode notes

Joining us this episode to discuss the highs and lows of parenting (and life) is the brilliant DJ and presenter - Nihal Arthanayake.

Nihal's new book 'Let's Talk: How To Have Better Conversations' is out now.

Please rate and review.

Thanks, Rob + Josh.

BIG NEWS.... we're writing a book!

⭐ All the stories we can’t tell on the podcast – in depth.

⭐ What it’s like to raise a stiff neck and a loose neck – straight from the horse’s mouth (our parents)

⭐ And.. the BIGGEST REQUEST WE’VE EVER HAD FOR THE PODCAST… Hearing from our wives, Rose & Lou. They’ve got a chapter each and YOU can submit your burning questions to them... PARENTINGHELLBOOK@BONNIERBOOKS.CO.UK

What's it really like to be a parent? And how come no one ever warned Rob or Josh of the sheer mind-bending, world-altering, sleep-depriving, sick-covering, tear-inducing, snot-wiping, bore-inspiring, 4am-relationship-straining brutality of it all? And if they did, why can't they remember it (or remember anything else, for that matter)?

And just when they thought it couldn't get any harder, why didn't anyone warn them about the slices of unmatched euphoric joy and pride that occasionally come piercing through, drenching you in unbridled happiness in much the same way a badly burped baby drenches you in milk-sick?

Join Josh and Rob as they share the challenges and madness of their parenting journeys with lashings of empathy and extra helpings of laughs. Filled with all the things they never tell you at antenatal classes, Parenting Hell is a beguiling mixture of humour, rumination and conversation for prospective parents, new parents, old parents and never-to-be parents alike.
