You Don’t Know You’re Born

Have you EVER regretted being a parent? Even just for five minutes?

This week on You Don't Know You're Born, Danny Miller, Brooke Vincent and Nige are answering YOUR parenting questions — and some of them are more controversial than others!

Would you tell your child if they were rubbish at something? Is it ever acceptable to dislike someone else's child? Have you ever lied about your child's age to save money? And the big one… have you ever regretted becoming a parent?

From the pressure of children's hobbies and the heartbreak of watching your little ones lose confidence, to family holidays, expensive days out and the things parents secretly miss about life before kids, nothing is off limits.

Plus, Acting Up returns! This week, the gang tackle a parent's dilemma about a nine-year-old who wants to try every hobby going… only to quit three weeks later. How much is too much when it comes to keeping the kids happy?

We want to hear from YOU!

Have you ever had a moment where you've questioned parenthood? Would you tell your child they're not very good at something? Let us know in the comments!

Has Halloween gone too far? 🎃

This week on You Don't Know You're Born, Danny Miller, Brooke Vincent and Wingman get stuck into the madness of Halloween as parents. From expensive costumes and trick-or-treating rules to pumpkin picking, Halloween parties and the latest obsession with boo baskets, are we all doing a bit too much?

Brooke reveals how she accidentally tried to verify her Instagram account while dressed as a skeleton, the gang debate whether pumpkin picking is actually worth the money, and nobody can quite get their head around boo baskets.

Then, in this week's Acting Up, a listener has a problem with a grandparent who refuses to follow the rules. Too many sweets, late bedtimes and spoilt children — should grandparents respect the parents' wishes, or is spoiling the grandkids all part of the job?

Expect plenty of parenting chaos, questionable advice and a few spectacularly derailed conversations.

Danny shares Albert's first experiences of football, his frustration with overenthusiastic dance parents and some hilarious memories of growing up with The Sims, MSN and Chatroulette.

We're back! And there's plenty to catch up on...

Danny Miller, Brooke Vincent and Wingman return for a brand-new series of You Don't Know You're Born, with school run tears, escaping toddlers and the usual parenting chaos.

Danny reveals why dropping Albert off for his first day at school left him crying in the car, and shares the terrifying (and slightly hilarious) moment Albert managed to escape from the family campervan in search of his mates.

Brooke chats about getting back into the school routine, bedtime battles and why dealing with other people's naughty children can really test your patience.

There's also a new studio, a last-minute B&M shopping spree, some questionable parenting advice and the return of Acting Up, where the gang attempt to solve another parenting dilemma. What could possibly go wrong?

From emotional milestones to the moments that make you question everything about being a parent, it's good to be back!

Got a parenting dilemma for Acting Up? Get in touch and we might tackle it in a future episode.
