Meet the Parents Podcast

Here's the second part of our final ever episode, our two-part Christmas special, as Tim talks to Vicky, Hannah and the two Johns (Adams and Roberts). Thanks to everyone who has joined us on our podcasting journey over the past two years. We hope you've enjoyed listening to us. Goodbye!

It's our two-part Christmas special - and also the last Meet the Parents podcast ever (sob). In part one, Tim talks to Amie, Dave and Simon and then to Hayley and Mark about our Christmas plans. We also look back over the two years since the podcast began and discuss our plans for 2018. Part two to follow shortly.

Mark and Tim discuss a few topical parenting stories that have been in the news recently, from Sleeping Beauty to a new Little Miss book.

Amie and Tim talk about revamping blogging events and far-flung holidays.

Mark, Simon and Tim discuss Halloween and bloggers writing books.

Hannah and Tim discuss the sacrifices we make as parents and what dads need to do to be seen as more equal counterparts to mum bloggers.

Mark and Tim discuss where to draw the line when it comes to sharing our children's lives online.

Simon, John and Tim discuss the letters they would write to their children from beyond the grave.

Dave, Hannah, John and Tim discuss where we should draw the line between trolling and simple negativity or disagreement.

Mark and Tim talk about how to maximise our chances of raising successful kids, while Mark talks about his youngest heading off to university.
