Halloween special: Your scariest parenting fails

from No Parental Guidance · host Hannah East & Louise Boyce

The studio has had a massive Card Factory overhaul and Hannah and Louise have gone all out with their outfits for our massive Halloween special! Get ready for the parenting fails, spooky listener stories, and honest opinions on the one holiday where we completely undo everything we teach our kids. In this episode, we dissect the chaos of Halloween; knocking on strangers' doors, going out at night, and loading up on sugar.  Louise confesses her crippling fear of fake spiders and cobwebs, and shares why getting hypnotised to cure her phobia was a total waste of money. We dive into Hannah's the spooky story of her grandma's haunted house, where a seance led to weird tapping and knocking that led to the house being sold in a hurry. Hannah also tells the utterly mortifying story of having to help her son poo on the side of the road right before a Halloween party, and then having to arrive at the host's house with the evidence... in a plastic bag for life! We've also got some Listener Horror Stories, from a parent whose joke was so good they made a kid faint on the doorstep, to the terrifying story of a baby on the monitor telling a ghost to "go away, I'm trying to sleep!" It's the ultimate chaotic, hilarious, and slightly spooky Halloween episode. Get the pumpkin spiced lattes ready! Thanks to our amazing sponsor Card Factory! Check out their massive Halloween range to make your house look spooktacular! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
