Episode Date: August 30, 2022

Join Tina and Jarlath Regan weekly* from Monday 5th September for their informative, funny and welcoming take on modern parenting.

Even without the challenges of the last two years, raising your kids not to be gobshites is exceptionally hard. I don't know anyone who doesn't need a little bit of help. I don't know anyone who wouldn't feel a little bit better hearing what other people are dealing with. So here we are, the first ever episode of Honey, You're Ruining Our Kid, the parenting podcast from an Irish man abroad. This is a place where you get to anonymously submit your parenting problems and we will do our level best to answer them with the help of our resident child development expert, Tina Regan. You know when your child is lying. How do you get them to be honest without sharing them with all the Catholic guilt we were raised with? I mean, what an effective tool that really was.

Oh, God, yeah, the ever-watching eye. I mean, these kids are not afraid of us. If they're displaying behaviours, there is a struggle there that we need to take a minute and watch and see, OK, what is behind that story? What's behind that behaviour? I think children can feel pretty uncomfortable when they're doing their poops.

So they want to do it where they feel the most comfort and that is home maybe holding onto their mom's hand who knows and you know if they're not that's how i like to well i mean holding onto my mother's hand here's what i wish people would tell you when you're going to have a baby about sleep you're not going to get sleep until that child is at school. Stop seeking sleep that's not going to come to you. Yeah, but I kind of think what you were saying is, don't go chasing waterfalls. It's okay to parent your child.

If your child's on the ground having a tantrum, pick them up like a rugby ball and keep going. Subscribe now to Honey, You're Ruining Our Kid, the Zero Judgment Parenting Podcast.
