EP1 Birthday Parties Jan 16, 2007

Once, the children's party was a joyous occasion for a parent, but not any more. Modern parents come clean about the madness of children's birthday party inflation.

EP2 School Jan 23, 2007

There's nothing mad, modern parents won't do to get their kids into a good school: moving house, adopting religion, inventing illnesses, camping in the playground - and bribing teachers with a lot more than an apple!

EP3 Money Jan 30, 2007

Pocket money for penny chews is a distant memory: today's parents reflect on the mums and dads who pick up the bill for their children's life of luxury. Should kids be guiltlessly enjoying sushi, cappuccino and state-of-the-art electrical goods at the literal expense of their mothers and fathers?

EP4 Other Parents Feb 06, 2007

Spying and back-biting, mad modern parents know no shame in the competition that starts at birth and continues to the school run: whose baby sleeps through first, whose child has completed War and Peace at the age of eight, who can please the school teachers most. These are serious questions for modern parents who thrive on competition and can't wait to trip each other up.

EP5 Extra Curricular Feb 13, 2007

Modern parents confess to the laughable amounts of time they devote to extra curricular activites for their children. With everybody at it, no one dares give their kids any down time so it's a non-stop rush to make it to violin, sanskrit and judo and try to fit in dinner in the car.

EP6 Food Feb 20, 2007

Modern parents reveal the dark secrets about family meal times and go into delicious detail about dealing with modern-day, faddy kids, so-called allergies and the torment of eating out.
