Love Island brought them together. Parenthood has been trying to tear them apart ever since. Join Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde Massey as they dive headfirst into the beautiful, exhausting and completely unhinged reality of raising a family, where sleep is a luxury, romance is a distant memory and every day brings a new argument over whose turn it is to do bedtime. Each week they tackle the arguments, disasters, questionable parenting decisions and moments of pure madness that every parent knows all too well, but few are willing to admit. With celebrity guests, outrageous parenting stories and brutally honest conversations, this is the parenting podcast for everyone who's just trying to survive. www.fubarradio.com
Listen on Apple PodcastsNathan was almost kidnapped from a supermarket as a child. It's one of those family stories that sounds completely made up... except it isn't. Before recording, Nathan and Cara also have a blazing row in public that ends with Nathan buying Cara a gift just to get back in her good books. Then it's onto one of parenting's biggest challenges: discipline. Do parents secretly believe their children can do no wrong? Nathan and Cara certainly don't. They discuss why they know their own kids can be absolute knobs, Delilah's favourite threat of telling her teachers they've hit her whenever she's told off, and why Nathan pulled exactly the same trick on his own mum as a child. In The Debate, they argue over whether couples should have sex at least once a week, while Cara insists Nathan needs to earn it by doing more around the house. Then, in The Courtroom, they decide whether a dad who accidentally left his child behind in a supermarket deserves to be found guilty... or whether every parent is capable of making the same mistake. PSA: PLEASE check that you have all your children before you leave Sainsbury's this evening.
Heads up - we've never gone at each other like this on air before, so brace yourselves for a lot of tension right off the back! Then we get into the big topic: screentime and social media! How much screen time is actually too much? Is the iPad a genius parenting tool or a quiet admission of defeat? And what do you say when your child asks why they're not on your Instagram when literally every other kid in their class is? We are also getting into the messy stuff - posting your kids online, whether you'd ever let your child be an actual influencer if they begged you, what age you hand over a first phone, and how long you're allowed to snoop through it before it becomes a human rights violation. In The Courtroom this week - a parent that admitted they track their teenager's location 24/7. Guilty or not guilty? We have thoughts.
Nathan's been to Ibiza, nobody in the house has slept properly, and Cara still doesn't have access to his location on Find My Friends. This week on Not In Front Of The Kids , Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde-Massey are getting into sleep - the thing every parent is desperate for and nobody is actually getting enough of. Co-sleeping: genuinely dangerous or the only thing that works? Controlled crying: cruel and unusual punishment or the kindest thing you can do for everyone in the house? Nathan and Cara get into all of it, including the moments they've parented badly because they were running on fumes and will not be sharing the details with social services. Then the debate that's been building all episode finally kicks off: should Cara have Nathan's location on Find My Friends? Nathan thinks no. Cara has thoughts. Strong ones. They argue it out properly and they want to know whose side you're on. And in The Courtroom this week: a parent secretly put an AirTag in their child's school bag. Their friends say it's a massive breach of trust. The parent says the world is terrifying and they'd do it again. Guilty or not guilty? Nathan and Cara give their verdict.
Nathan's clothes have been sat in the same pile for a week, the Kärcher is still blocking the kitchen, and apparently cleaning the car is now a love language. Is there really such a thing as men's jobs and women's jobs, or is someone just getting away with doing less? Then it's onto one of parenting's biggest battlegrounds – food. Should children eat what's put in front of them, or are parents making life harder by cooking three different dinners every night? Are fussy eaters born that way, or are they created? Is it cruel to send your child to school hungry because they refused breakfast, or is it teaching them a valuable lesson? Should dessert, screen time and PlayStation be used as bargaining chips? And if your child refuses dinner but asks for snacks an hour later… who's actually in charge? Nathan and Cara also debate whether family meals around the table are becoming a thing of the past, if screens should be banned at dinner, and whether parents put far too much pressure on themselves to feed their children the "perfect" diet. In The Courtroom this week, they tackle a parenting dilemma that divides almost everyone – is it ever okay to read your child's diary? Is it a huge breach of trust, or just part of keeping your child safe in a world that's scarier than ever? Dinner is about to be served… and someone definitely isn't eating it.
Fair warning - this is the first episode and they are already fighting! How could Nathan think jetting off to Ibiza on a stag do and leaving Cara alone in Disneyland with the kids was going to go down well? Buckle up. We are kicking off with something that is genuinely causing tension in the house right now - holidays. Specifically, can you actually relax on holiday when the kids come with you, or is it just parenting in a different postcode? Is it selfish to go on holiday without your kids? How do you survive long haul travel with children who have decided this is the moment to completely unravel? Would you ever sedate your child for a long flight? Are you a bad parent for taking your kids out of school for a holiday? In The Courtroom this week, they react to a shocking parenting confession - a parent who admits they genuinely prefer one of their children over the other, and believes that does not make them a bad person. Nathan and Cara have thoughts. A lot of them. This is the show for parents who are done pretending it is all fine. The ones who love their kids more than anything and are also absolutely losing their minds. The ones who fight about holidays and date nights and who did more last night and whether the kids watch too much telly and then laugh about it an hour later because what else are you going to do. Buckle up. It is going to be a very long flight.
Think of this as your warning. Before Not In Front Of The Kids launches, we've stitched together some of Nathan and Cara's most outrageous disagreements, biggest parenting debates and funniest moments. What happens when two former Love Islanders have kids, run out of sleep and stick microphones in front of themselves?
