Lucy Baker is Geriatric Mum, although she isn't actually a geriatric; she's just in her 40s. Lucy is also a panellist on GMB, Radio 4's "Women's Hour", as well as being a confidence coach.
In this episode we talk about the taboo that still exists for women who become Mums after a certain age. More so, we talk about the fact it doesn't exist at all for men. (I was 40 and 43 when my children were born. At the time of writing actor Al Pacino is expecting another child and he's in his 80s!)
Lucy, who is a confidence coach, uses the "What would you, as a Mum, like to ask me, a Dad" question to discover whether Mum guilt exists in Dads.
It does. It really does. Daily. But isn't that just part of caring? And should we, can we just let it go?
Even though this podcast is called Dad Asks Mums, Lucy also asked me what I thought about Kerri as she went through labour. The reality of labour, if you will. (Spoiler: I thought she was amazing. How can you not be in awe of someone who has carried a human inside her for 9 months and then delivers it physically on her own?)
Lucy's eldest child lives with ADHD, so we talk a lot about that and the ways you have to re-invent the image of yourself as a parent. But then, that's true anyway isn't it? Because kids will have their own minds.
