“I’m an Anglo-Australian father of two boys - aged 7 and 5.
For me, the extent to which I find parenting either calm and controlled - or stressful and uncontrolled - is directly related to how many other things in life that my partner (and mother of the boys) and I, need to deal with.
So - me having to work full-time, and my partner working 4 days per week - take up a massive amount of time and effort each week. And then there’s the meal preparation, laundry, cleaning-up - and all manner of other things.
But we do have a cleaner who we pay to clean the house once a fortnight. And we have a bit of help from one set of grandparents. So - those things help to free-up a bit of time and energy to be with the boys.
I find that in families where parents have more time to spend with their children - maybe because one parent doesn’t need to work - then, generally speaking, there’s an overall lower level of stress in the family. Or in the case of one family I know - they can afford to pay for a maid to do housework and prepare meals.
So - here’s my point - what’s Hamish Blake’s situation in this regard? What’s the situation of his guests? For example, as I write this, I’m listening to Nazeem Hussain, in his episode of the podcast, say that most days, he doesn’t need to work. Wow! If I was in that situation, my life would be considerably less stressful - and I’d have a lot more time and energy to spend with my children. I wouldn’t be hanging-out laundry at 9.30pm and worrying about whether we’ve run out of bread to make sandwiches for school lunches the next day.
I’m summary - I’d like each episode of the podcast to commence with some kind of overview of the subject’s situation in terms of time and energy available for being with their children. Without that context, it’s kind of hard to relate to their experiences.”
