Not Another Mummy Podcast

Adam Kay: doctor life vs dad life, potty training stress and how we're all just muddling through


Listen Later

I’m joined this week by Adam Kay - the award-winning author and former junior doctor who gave us This Is Going to Hurt, a book that was equal parts hilarious and harrowing.


Since then, he’s gone on to write brilliant, gross-out educational books for kids like Kay’s Anatomy and Kay’s Marvellous Medicine, and most recently, his first fiction book for children and picture books for younger readers.


He's also dad to two almost-twin toddlers, who were born to two different surrogates, four months apart.


We chat about life as a toddler dad, why he gets most of the jobs involving poo while his husband gets involved with more of the play and the extreme pressure of potty training.


Check out Adam's website for details of all his latest books: https://www.adamkay.co.uk
