  • 32: The Realities of Modern Parenthood in Ireland, with Jarlath Regan, Caz Mooney, and Bernie Coyne
    Apr 29 2024
    This month we bring you a very special episode, one of particular interest to anyone who is a parent in Ireland today. This episode was recorded live at the Museum of Literature Ireland, and host Jen Hogan was joined by comedian, podcaster, and dad Jarlath Regan; author, content creator and mum of three, Caz Mooney; and Bernie Coyne, of Coyne Research, who carried out the ALDI Mammies and Daddies Report.

    The ALDI Mammies and Daddies Report is the discussion point of this episode. Our panellists share their perspectives on balancing work, childcare, health, and personal interests, as well as offering insights into the juggling act that is modern parenting.

    Jarlath, Caz, and Bernie are full of anecdotes to tell, ranging from the difficulties of working from home while raising a family, to the lunacy of marathon running to the beauty of doing stand-up comedy for infants!

    There are some hard-hitting truths about how much more men need to be doing when it comes to parenting, and around the reality of trying to live up to society’s expectations of parents.

    In the end, though, maybe it’s all just the kids’ fault?!
