Introducing the podcast’s concept in episode one, Charlotte said: “Mums, we’ve all been there your kids playing up and you need to send them to the naughty corner. Well, what about when we do something naughty? This is the podcast with outrageous tales of parenting fails.
“This is where we share all our stories about bending the rules of parenting and doing things that maybe we shouldn’t have done but we have. And obviously the reason that we’re here is because of our beautiful, chaotic crazy boys.”


What was said in the first episode?
In the first episode, Charlotte was joined by her friend Janine Marsh, who also has two boys, aged nine and 4 years old.
The podcast started with some casual chit-chat about their sons, in which Charlotte revealed how she was feeling about Noah starting preschool in September.

Like seeing him with Jude, when I look back at videos from this time last year, it’s crazy how much he’s come on.”

Going on to describe her youngest son, Charlotte said: “Jude, is 11 months old and he’s just a right bruiser, he’s just full of character. Honestly everywhere we go at the minute he’s making everyone laugh, he’s just turning into Noah.”
When Janine asked if he is a hooligan, Charlotte replied: “Jude is everywhere, he’s crawling into every cupboard it’s just too much. I’ve had to buy my playpen, AKA, baby jail.”

But what is Charlotte’s biggest parenting fail?
The conversation then turned to the podcast’s real business - why Charlotte is in the naughty corner.
Although the mum of two admitted there are a few reasons - as we would hope so with their being a whole series on the topic!- she started off by introducing her biggest fail and that it is her swearing.
Charlotte explained: “Noah’s picked up on my swearing - and Matthew’s I might add-... but it’s probably mostly me because Matthew’s the fun dad... [where as] I’m obviously stressed, mums are aren’t they, we’re always trying to keep everything together. They [men] literally just get up, have a s***, sit on the phone and scroll on Instagram.
“So basically Noah and Jude were in Jude’s cot and they were just playing around like they always do… and it’s so cute because [Noah’s] going ‘come here cheeky monkey’ - because [Jude] just started crawling - ‘come here cheeky monkey, come here cheeky monkey’ and [Jude] bangs his head on the cot and [Noah] goes ‘oh shit he’s just banged his head’ and it was just hilarious because it was so in context.. and it was so comedy timed, you can tell he’s Les Dawson’s grandson!.. My dad would have been howling up there”
