Help We're Outnumbered!

We said we’d be back in September… and here we are. Start of April... Strong start.In this very on-brand return to Help, We’re Outnumbered, we explain where we’ve been (spoiler: absolutely nowhere restful), what happened to our plans, and how two-year-old twins dropping their nap has fundamentally changed life as we know it....From summer chaos to school runs, from “we’ve got this” to “we absolutely do not have this,” and a bonus round of illnesses thrown in for good measure — this episode is a catch-up, a reset, and a reminder that parenting rarely goes to plan… and that’s kind of the point.Expect sleep deprivation, lowered standards, questionable parenting wins, and the usual honest chat about raising four kids while trying to function like actual adults. Ohh and we've also got some fun games to play together! You can join in too!Season 2 is here… finally.Follow us on Instagram - @hwopodcastTikTok - @helpwereoutnumbered Spotify - Help We're OutnumberedAmazon Music - Help We're OutnumberedYoutube - HWO PodcastApple Podcasts - Help We're OutnumberedSend us Fan MailSend us Fan MailSupport the show

It’s the final episode of Series 1! We are getting real about raising kids in a home where faith is central — but don’t worry, it’s not preachy!! We talk about why having shared values matters, how we try (and fail) to keep things consistent, and what faith looks like in the middle of chaos, meltdowns, and deep questions from our six-year-old.Whether you’re religious or not, this one’s all about building a solid foundation for your family. Thanks for laughing and surviving parenthood with us this season — see you in September for Series 2!Follow us on Instagram - @hwopodcastTikTok - @helpwereoutnumbered Spotify - Help We're OutnumberedAmazon Music - Help We're OutnumberedYoutube - HWO PodcastApple Podcasts - Help We're OutnumberedSend us Fan MailSupport the show

This week, we’re diving into the parenting guilt spiral. From handing over the iPad just to brush our teeth in peace, to the bedtime lies we whisper with a straight face. We unpack the absurd pressure to be a “good parent” in the age of berry-based crafts and Instagram-worthy stories, plus the baby gadgets we massively regret buying.If you’ve ever bribed your kid with screen time or hidden in the bathroom for five minutes of silence, this one’s for you.Follow us on Instagram - @hwopodcastTikTok - @helpwereoutnumbered Spotify - Help We're OutnumberedAmazon Music - Help We're OutnumberedYoutube - HWO PodcastApple Podcasts - Help We're OutnumberedSend us Fan MailSupport the show

It’s a wild ride.Expect plenty of laughs, a touch of chaos, and at least one parenting lesson you didn’t know you needed—like why walking past the stairs is always dangerous in our house.....Hit play, and enjoy the ride!Follow us on Instagram - @hwopodcastTikTok - @helpwereoutnumbered Spotify - Help We're OutnumberedAmazon Music - Help We're OutnumberedYoutube - HWO PodcastApple Podcasts - Help We're OutnumberedSend us Fan MailSupport the show

This week… we’re exhausted! The twins had their second birthday party over the weekend and honestly, it's Sunday night and we're running on fumes! There were balloons, there was cake (everywhere), and way too many toddlers in one room. Safe to say, we’re outnumbered AND out of energy.So this week, we’re handing things over to the real bosses around here – the kids.That’s right, we sat down and asked them the big questions: What’s the best food? What are Mummy and Daddy bad at?  What rules SHOULD we have?Spoiler: the answers are chaotic, unfiltered, and very much kid logic.It’s short, it’s silly, and we’re not totally sure it counts as a podcast episode – but here it is anyway.Next week, we want to hear from YOU!We’re doing a Q&A for episode 8, so send us your parenting questions, stories, or just general cries for help. whatever’s on your mind. Let’s muddle through it together. @hwopodcastThanks for listening, and if you want leftover cake,  send us your address.

This week, it’s all about our middle child – Eli. Our four-year-old bundle of cuddles, Hot Wheels fanatic, and old soul!We’re having a chat about what it was like going from one kid to two, how Eli handled the absolute mayhem of the twins arriving, and why we lovingly refer to him as “Eeyore”.He’s basically the Tails to Noah’s Sonic, the most likely to have a meltdown over toast, and still sneaks into our bed most nights like it’s no big deal.From navigating all the feelings to surviving on a diet that’s 90% beige, this one’s for anyone raising a sensitive little soul who knows exactly what shape their toast should be cut into – and isn’t shy about telling you.Expect laughs, a bit of chaos, and a few random-but-crucial parenting lessons we’ve picked up along the way,  like why you should never, under any circumstances, give him the wrong cup. Seriously. Just don’t.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

This week, we’re chatting about marriage, the post-kids version. Where romance now looks a lot like collapsing on the sofa, sharing a box of chocolates, and trying not to fall asleep mid-conversation.We’re talking about keeping the spark alive (sort of), saying a firm no to any more babies, and how making love these days is less “spontaneous passion” and more “quick, before someone wakes up.”There’s some honest chat, a few laughs, and plenty of very relatable moments, including why standing near the dishwasher does not count as helping, and how the only thing getting regular action in our house is the washing.It’s marriage, but with extra Calpol, less sleep, and just enough flirting to keep things ticking along.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

This week, we’re sharing the chaos, joy, and sheer madness of life with our twin girls!We’re talking routines (sort of), nap time tag teams, the rollercoaster of having them 9 weeks early, and how we went from thinking we were done at two kids… to surprise twins. Yep.We’ve got a few laughs, some honest truths, and a handful of tips for surviving life with twins without completely losing the plot.Send us Fan MailSupport the show
