We know balancing family and your career can be tough when your little one is young, but does that get any easier once they're a teen? Today on the show, we're joined by Brendan Jones, one half of radio duo Jonesy and Amanda, to share his experience as a dad of older kids. He chats about how he tackled parenting his kids 10 years apart, getting up for work at 3.45am, and how parenting is easier when you're a dad.

Plus, our nails and fails include cereal for dinner and a mistaken profession.
