And we thought the only way to get away from our children is to start a podcast about how we're struggling to deal with being with them. This is that podcast.

This is Lockdown Parenting Hell with Rob Beckett and josh widdicombe we're going to be interviewing some of our friends famous comedians and people from the public eye about their lockdown parenting and uh hopefully they'll make me feel better because mine have gone feral and we need help i'm kicking myself it's taken me four weeks to come up with this i think the reason it's taken four weeks is the first two weeks were, you know, horribly stressful and anxious times. But being able to be at home and have nothing to do is quite liberating for a workaholic. Yes, it is. And it's been liberating for you as well. Yeah. You only do Friday nights, don't you?

You've got two children. I've got a child. I've realised I'm on various WhatsApp groups with my friends that have got children and that's become a real kind of pressure valve for me to let off a bit of steam after a day of parenting. Yes. And I thought this podcast could act as that for us. Well, I don't really let off steam.

I actively hunt down and search for someone who's had a worse day than me. And then I ring, I ring them and I let them tell me how bad their day's been and I laugh. So this is a podcast version of that for us to find some other people that may have had a worse day of parenting than

us that will make us feel better and then hopefully the listeners will get the same feeling as us. That's it for now. You can find us on all the usual podcast platforms. So subscribe, like and share. And we'd also love to hear from you, the listeners, about your stories of lockdown parenting how. So get in touch at hello at lockdownparenting.co.uk

and we'll see you very soon.
