Skids and Icks: Love Isn’t Always Clean

Sick Days, Work Guilt & the Toilet Valentine

When Chantelle catches hand, foot and mouth from our daughter and spirals about calling in sick, we unpack work guilt, pre-Valentine’s pressure, and the unfortunate early gift that ended up being discovered… in the toilet. We finish with some ridiculous Valentine’s questions that absolutely derail the episode.

Flat Feet, Plaster Dust & a Face Like a Bulldog Chewing a Wasp

No video this week because Chantelle is battling a full-blown cold (pray for her). We chat through life with plasterers in the house, brainstorm our million-pound money-making ideas (selling Abey’s flat feet, obviously, and letting AI run our wardrobes and meal plans), and put Abey to the test with some truly unhinged British phrases. Expect confusion, laughter, and very little actual productivity.

Skids and Icks: Love Isn’t Always Clean

A brutally honest (and slightly chaotic) episode where we compare who we thought we’d be as parents vs who we actually are now. From the pre-baby promises — “our child will never have screen time” and “we’ll always be organised” — to the reality of snacks for dinner and negotiating with a toddler like a hostage situation. We also dive into our latest relationship icks, the tiny habits that somehow become huge annoyances, and share one of those heart-stopping parenting moments that every mum and dad dreads — the unexpected tumble that leaves you shaken but grateful they’re tougher than you think. Funny, relatable, and reassuring for any parent who’s realised perfection went out the window somewhere between nappies and no sleep.

Who among us will survive a zombie apocalypse?!

Everyone tells you parenting is the best thing you’ll ever do. They don’t always mention the sleep deprivation, the Googling at 3am, or the random guilt for no clear reason. In this episode, we break down the highs and lows of parenting — the joy, the chaos, and the moments that make you think “surely this isn’t just us?” Then, because we like peace and harmony, we end with a Who’s More Likely segment that turns into playful arguments, defensive behaviour, and accidental honesty.

What India Was Really Like for Me (and What England Is Like for Him)

We’re unpacking our trip to India and getting real about cultural differences. Chantelle shares what it’s like experiencing India as someone from the UK, while Abey opens up about immigrating to England and adapting to life here. A relaxed, honest chat about family, culture, and how different places shape who we are.
