I adore Caitlin! I'm 62 with 3 grown up 'children' and so wish that I could have listened to her words of wisdom when I was struggling to help them through their teenage years.
Literally 4 minutes in and I feel on a level with this woman! Although, I was the youngest of 6 and on the receiving end of the blackmail trick! Also from Wolverhampton!
I learn so much with every podcast and helped me in so many situations I just hope to be the best version of me for my son thank you for sharing all you stories on this podcast I am forever grateful
I needed this, my 11 yr old son is going through a difficult time with his father and after years of protecting him from it, I have stopped he needs to learn what this feeling is. Thanks to Gi and Caitlin ❤️
Loved it, it was a perfect podcast, I ADORE her anecdotes and outlook on life, but most of all the sense of joyous urgency with which she delivers her wit ! :D
Completely agree with the comments about teenage years. Now in my late twenties I can see how if my parents had been there more, it would have benefited me. Not that they were terrible parents of course... When you're a teenager you don't always wait or plan to say what you feel. It's such a difficult time and you really need as much support/empathy as possible!
Really enjoyed this one. Listened to it as a podcast mind you but thought I would comment here! Really enjoyed the end of the discussion about how women tend to take the mental load of family life , even when husbands/partners are hands on, it’s still different eh? Really resonated with me. My husband is amazing but when he is with the children, nothing else gets done or gets thought of, whereas I will have been with the kids and done two loads of washing, emptied the dishwasher and done some housework around them. 😂 xx
Really related to the part about teenagers letting things build up until it gets to the point where they let it go but not being able to until that one moment. I was in the situation of wanting to see my Dad but it took at least a year to say it. It has taken me 14 years to come to terms with the situation of not being able to see him despite him living less than 40 miles away. I am okay with it now, it doesn't hurt so much. The turn around has only really happened in the last month. I loved this interview, laughed so much at the talk about the cervix, losing the tampon and her husband in his pants in the birthing pool.
One cuts, the other chooses was how my brother and I would have to divide food. It's the best way when there's two of you but it doesn't work as well with more.
13:54 - 14:45 This is exactly what happened with my mum a couple years ago with my brother. Yuuup! The doctor waked in and just goes “C-Section” and never once looked at the birth plan 😑
If you have ever seen or heard an interview with C.M before, you will of heard all these stories. I have read two of her books that were very entertaining but the live delivery of this women is too fast, way too manic and a trifle Groundhog Day.
"My name's Simon and I'm going to put on some trousers", That's exactly it lol.
“And those two were ginger” 🤣😂😂🤣

Never come across her before but I’m now obsessed! She’s so funny and real
bronaghmca Her books are majestic. I was crying with laughter, highly recommend!
37 years old and now very relieved to know I'm not alone with bath water thing 😂😂
But 6 times 7 is the answer to life, the Universe & everything in it! :D :P

In tears laughing and then the realization that i did not want to make them mistakes but you can. Xx
"Unseen emotional labour" - spot on

I have a feeling that Caitlin took The Famous Five literally.
So I'm not the only one who got a nurse ratchet midwife 😕 I went through 5 during my labour days , most were lovely but one was bloody horrid.
