Underaged Grandparents with Matty & Esther Acton

Show Notes

🎉 IT’S OUR 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY EPISODE 🎉 Thank you for being part of the chaos this past year. This episode has everything: tears, arguments, near-death experiences and one VERY controversial Mother’s Day debate. This week with Matty & Esther:

We receive a heartfelt message from someone about to become a grandparent at just 44… and it genuinely hits us hard. There may be tears. We’ve discovered the first thing wives can do that husbands absolutely CANNOT… and the double standard is outrageously unfair. HOT TOPIC: Who is Mother’s Day really about? The mums still deep in the trenches… or the grandmothers who already did their time? Yep… we’re going there. And Esther has a near-death experience at Nando’s — caused entirely by Matt being an idiot.

If you’ve ever survived parenting, marriage, family group chats or a public argument over chips… this one’s for you. Come join the chaos and share your stories with us on Instagram, TikTok & Facebook — just search for the Underaged Grandparents Podcast.
