Back to School Chaos: Timetables, Tantrums & Total Exhaustion

On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch dive into the chaos and comedy of back-to-school season.

From bedtime routines, uniform shopping, and chaotic school runs to WhatsApp mum groups, playground politics, and the dreaded parents’ evenings, Abbey and Peter share the highs, lows, and hilarious mishaps of family life.

They also reflect on media headlines about their relationship, debate whether men should be “good” at bowling, and tackle your Agony Abs dilemmas—including the challenges of a 16-year age gap relationship and whether perfectionism is ruining family hosting.
