Summary

This week, Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about the heady mix of guilt and duty upon privately hiring a soft play centre for Fenna Grace's third birthday party. Bobby kept his cool as his daughter was chucked down a climbing frame and we are thankfully more understanding about behavioural challenges. Is it okay to notice when a dad is HOT? An American podcast changes Andrew's algorithm as he deep dives into 'Elimination Communication' for the good of TEE listeners, and he'll never look at 'sphincter control' the same way again. Katherine might die on Friday but for now, your emails on pettiness towards GRANDmother-in-laws, a psycho landlord, and more. x

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of telling everybody everything. It is the 8th of December.
0:07.5	The week has seen a lot. Britney Spears' birthday on the second. We had Fena Grace's birthday party
0:14.2	yesterday. It was at this beautiful soft play kind of near us. It was, it's a bigger soft play than the one we usually attend, and I had to
0:25.4	hire it privately. Why? Because every parent of small children knows that the soft play is a
0:31.9	goddamn nightmare, especially in the winter months when kids can't really go outside.

0:42.3	It's just wet.
0:43.3	It's wet.
0:44.3	All the playground equipment is wet.
0:46.3	And I felt very guilty.
0:48.3	I mean, I didn't feel guilty enough not to do it, but I felt marginally guilty about privately hiring the soft play for two hours.
0:58.2	I chose two hours in the afternoon. There were different slots to hire it in the morning or the
1:03.7	evening. I thought we will do 1.45 until 3.45. There are small children napping at that time. They'll be in a post-lunch slump.
1:13.9	I think that most people take their kids out in the morning if they want to go to soft play.
1:18.2	And truthfully, I have been to this soft play before. Lovely as it is, it is jam-packed, and
1:25.4	my children are not of the age
1:28.7	that they can really go toe to toe with a neuro spicy eight-year-old.
1:35.5	They're not.
1:36.1	Fen is still two years old.
1:37.9	Fred is four and delicate and shy.
1:42.1	And I can't think of anything worse
