A Mini Egg Espresso Martini...🍸🥚🐣
Scroll down for a roundup of the hilarious parenting content from the week, guaranteed to make you smile, if not laugh out loud. And the odd helpful tip.
Happy Saturday Dads!
We’re thinking about writing a parenting book filled with all the weird things you do as a parent that would be completely non-sensical if explained to anyone else.
Top of the list is:
“giving our toddler 2 different bowls of cereal and 8 separate spoons for her breakfast every morning”
What would you add?

As always, if you enjoyed this week’s edition and think you might know someone else who would, please do share. We know how tough being a parent can be, and sometimes you just need a moment to laugh at some of the craziness.
Thanks for reading, and enjoy that beer when it finally comes.

⭐ How the stars do it
The whole “not-standing-at-the-business-end” thing is the kind of childbirth advice you just don’t really need to be told as an expectant dad.
Unfortunately for Jack Whitehall, his father went into extreme detail.

Upcoming dates that it might be worth having up your sleeve:
Daylight Saving Time | 31st March; Clocks go forward tonight which means you’ll theoretically lose an hour of sleep. Prepare all you want, but you know your kids are waking at 5am anyway.
Stress Awareness Month | 1-30th April; Check in with the whole family’s stress levels this month and use this as an opportunity to help your child understand their feelings better.
World Health Day | 7th April; As we get closer to Spring, and with it the promise of better weather, find ways to get your kids more active. This Joe Wicks video can get you started.
That’s it for this week folks.
Thanks again for reading, as always we leave you with one HILARIOUS joke to share with the family.
My wife told me to stop singing "I'm A Believer" or she'd kill me. I thought she was kidding.
Then I saw her face… 🎶
