"You just don't know, the kids have seen their parents break up and I didn't want to introduce another person."

It's our fortnightly check in episode where we discuss what's going on in ours and the greater world. This week we're discussing the difficulties of dating when you have children, our own blended family, the societal shift in using dating apps and we share some of our own bad dates from the past. After last week's episode on sleep, Aisling talks about the night terrors she experienced in the past after a week where she cut her own forehead in her sleep.

Allan is riled by the Roe Vs Wade decision in the U.S. and Aisling is smiling as she re-watches Breaking Bad but the shitty Irish weather is getting to her.
