Absolute Parenting - The sh!t no one tells you‪!‬ Siu-Yin Shing

Miscarriages is a talked about subject in October in the UK because from 9-15th October is baby loss awareness week.

Yes, this podcast is out a little bit later than baby loss awareness week but I guess I found it hard to talk about my own miscarriage and then to edit it too. 

Nevertheless, here it is. Me talking about my own experience of miscarriage between daughter number 1 and daughter number 2 and how nearly 5 years on, it still haunts me.

It has been a whirlwind of a summer!

I am picking up the school issue again in this second part and giving you an update about when season 3 will start.

My husband and I are having a bit of a nightmare with the school at the moment, so much so that we are moving house because of it. It might seem a bit drastic but in this episode I explain the top 10 points as to why we came to make this decision. Hopefully they can help you in future to pick the right school.

As a result of the house move I am also sadly going to have to cut this season short too. All is explained in this episode.

Quite often we hear about being a working mum and how hard it is to juggle everything, but what does it mean to be a working dad? Is it different for working dads or are there similarities between the two? In this episode I have invited my husband along once again to chat about how he feels and his thoughts on being a working dad.

Weaning has been a popular topic, it is something all parents have to go through. In this episode I will be revisiting this topic with my friend Mango. She is currently going through a challenging time with her 1 year old toddler so this is very fresh in her mind. She is here to share her experiences so far.

Sleep training is a hot topic and I think it is safe to say, once you stepped into parenthood it is the thing you will probably miss the most. The lack of sleep makes parenting extra tricky.  So, in this episode I have invited my friend Katie to revisit this topic with me and for her to chat and share her experiences of sleep training.
