Feature: Two Judgy Mums at a soccer match

The Parent Panel is off for one more week, so in the meantime we thought we'd introduce you to a fellow Babyology podcast, Two Judgy Mums. Hen and Becks are our 2 Judgy Mums – they’re two mums who are under pressure, under-resourced but over-opinionated. They’ve been thinking about all the #blessed parenting podcasts and wondering why they don’t seem to match the lives real mums are actually living. Aspirational listening is all well and good, but where is the podcast for frazzled mums that tells it like it really is? In this episode they ask, is a dirty child a reportable offence? Becks and Hen look at all the ways you can polish up a soiled young one. Disclaimer: No children were harmed during the making of this episode!
