GRANDPARENTS WANT WEIRD TITLES THAT WE HATE
My husband and I have a problem, we are 5 months pregnant with our first child and my in-laws have been thinking about what they want to be called. Now, I’m happy for it not to be the typical grandma and grandpa etc if they don’t want but they have just called my husband to let him know that my MIL wants to be called cougey and my FIL has picked Ockey. (I don’t know how they would be spelt but they sound like koo ghee and ock ee.) We don't like these names and think they are weird, and could be confusing for our baby when she grows up. We don’t want to hurt their feelings but we also don’t want to have to refer to them as these strange names forever. How can we approach this with them or is it something they have every right to choose on what to be called by our child?


DO I PRETEND IT'S GREAT?
If a partner plans something for an event such as birthday, Mother’s Day, etc and you are disappointed, do you pretend it’s great? Or let them know you're disappointed? A couple of times I’ve expected a bit more planning from my partner and been disappointed but felt guilty for feeling this way. Are my expectations too high and is anything better than nothing? I should mention I’ve told him that I’m a sentimental person when it comes to milestones



DO I CALL BULLSHIT OR IS THIS ‘NORMAL’ THESE DAYS?
I’ve been dating a guy for 6 months (after his marriage of 2 years ago and 2 kids ended). Due to this I’ve given him space in anything too heavy about committing etc. About a month ago I asked him if he was on the apps and he said no, we haven’t had anymore “exclusive” chats. I’ve found out this week that he has liked one of my best mates pictures on hinge (who he’s met). He says it was an accident & he went on there because he was bored. Do I call bullshit on this? My male friend says that blokes need validation and until you tell them your boundaries and commit, it’s fair game. He wants to talk it through and get on the same page but I am unsure if I want to bother. I have been single for 10 years and had hopes for this. He has all the qualities that I’m looking for but he seems emotionally immature. He hasn’t told me his feelings for me yet but he clearly likes me. 
Is my bar too high or is this just what we would expect nowadays?

Ask Uncut - Ungrateful Mother's Day and is the dating bar too high?

Joining the podcast today is comedian, TV personality and camp mate from the South African jungle Stephen K Amos! 
Britt got to know Stephen in their month in Africa together and they formed a special friendship built on some very personal and impactful conversations. Stephen joins us today with some of the funniest accidentally unfiltered stories (yes, plural) that we have ever heard!
Stephen is such a laugh and a half and as funny as he is, he is equally as deep and thoughtful. 
We spoke about:

Time in the jungle 
His life growing up in a Nigerian family in South London
Expectations and being a ‘role model’ when he didn’t expect to be
Always being labelled as a ‘Black comedian’ and eventually ‘Black, gay comedian’
Push back on political comedy ‘ruining’ comedy
Stephen’s encounter with the Pope and his unexpected response to Stephen’s sexuality 
Performing for the Royal family
Accepting himself and his body; wearing shorts for the first time EVER in the jungle

Uncut with Stephen K Amos - The People Who Were the Butt of the Joke Now Have a Voice

Hey Lifers,
Today didn't quite go to plan! Laura's car broke down on the way to work so Producer Keeshia is filling in for her.
Britt got ... locked in a sauna. She quite literally was stuck in there waiting for Wim Hof to finish his meditative ice bath!
How do you feel about being in the background of someone's video at the gym? 
Keeshia found herself in this predicament and felt really uncomfortable. 
Then we have a chat about Piers Morgan's interview with the woman who is being labelled as the 'real Martha from Baby Reindeer'.
We question:

Whether interviews like this are exploitative and cross ethical boundaries
Whether she has the right to defend herself
Who is 'more' in the wrong; Netflix, Richard Gadd, Piers Morgan or the alleged stalker?
Who owns a story?
Whether it changes your opinion of the show

You can watch the entire interview here

Then we jump into your questions!

HE WANTS TO CHEAT WITH ME
My husband and I travel frequently with another family who have children the same age. It started out as my husband and his friends but over time the wife has become one of, if not, my best friend. They live interstate but we talk most days. We are 2 weeks away from an international holiday with them, when he asks me in a private message if I was with my husband at the time, and to message back when I was alone. He asked if I would like to ‘hook up’ whilst overseas and at the same time said don’t say a word to them (meaning his wife and my husband). I actually asked if he was joking to which he replied “no, but now it’s awkward”. I brushed it off and politely declined. As I stand, it’s nearly 24 hours after the message. I am planning on telling my husband that we will need to rearrange our holiday and accommodation plans. She is going to know something has happened, so when she asks me why we are cancelling on them what do I say? If roles were reversed I would 100% want to know. We have always suspected he’s probably not 100% faithful to her but to make matters worse she is pregnant. I know the information is going to ruin her life.



PARTNER DOESN'T WANT ME TO DONATE MY EGGS TO MY BROTHER
I have two older gay brothers. Since I was about 16 (I am now in my mid 20s) I’ve said that I would like to donate eggs in the future to them, so they can have biological kids with their partner. (I always figured since we look very similar and I don’t plan on having kids it would be a nice way to have biological children in the family). One of my brothers and his partner are ready to start the process to have kids. However, my partner of 2 years that I plan on marrying is very uncomfortable and does not agree with this decision. He sees that it will be my kid. I am not sure what to do. Do I listen to my partner's concerns and come to terms with not helping my brothers or follow through with this said promise? What are your thoughts? Am I crazy for offering and not seeing it as being my child?
 


IS IT OK TO KEEP EX HUSBANDS SURNAME
My ex husband and I split a number of years ago and had one child together. I took his surname when we married. We have both since re-coupled and he is now engaged. This has made me wonder - is it time to change my name back? The problem is, I LOVE my current name and it feels like a bit part of who I am; personally and professionally. I also really love having the same surname as the child we happily co-parent. Is it weird if I just keep the name? My new partner and I also have a child together, and marriage will be on the cards one day but I don’t want to change my name multiple times… and I much prefer my current name
