The Flash Drive Full Show: The One Where We Talk About Parenting Permits

Carl Wastie and the team unpack a parenting debate that is getting plenty of attention, sparked by the idea of a so-called “permit to parent” being discussed in France. On The Flash Drive, they explore whether future parents can ever really be prepared for what lies ahead. From handling public meltdowns and toddler tantrums to conflict resolution, work-life balance, changing nappies, and budgeting for holiday clubs, the chat covers the everyday realities of raising kids. It is honest, humorous, and very relatable. The conversation also opens up a bigger question about what support parents actually need and how society can do more to help families through every stage of the journey. A thoughtful and entertaining listen for parents, parents-to-be, and anyone who has ever witnessed a supermarket meltdown and felt the panic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
