The Rulebreakers

In this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter discuss their differing attitudes when it comes to parenting styles - expect fun dad and house management vibes.
And it isn’t just Abbey and Pete’s parenting styles that we get a glimpse into, but you guys as well! We hear from a couple whose attempts at confiscating their child’s Peppa Pig tablet backfired with some hilarious results.
In Agony Ab, we learn of a fairly new and sh*t cultural phenomenon called a ‘Sten do’ as well as what to do when you suspect the girl you’ve got your eye on may be playing the o’l treat them mean keep them keen tactics on you.
Enjoy this week’s Therapy Crouch!

You two should take over as new presenters of “This Morning” ❤

[@lsdzig]

Abbi would HATE the ITV ways

[@alansibley]

Autocue would ruin these two! Their natural, off the cuff chat and banter is far better.

[@lisasmith4724]

Yes xx

[@thescallytrader]

Far too Scouse.

[@susiewatts1982]

Absofuckingloutley Lol 😂 , My Christ it would go bloody VIRAL 👍👍😂🤣🤣

[@anjiguest3929]

Abby you talk over Pete more than I talk over my hubby 😂😊 great video as always xx

[@kierandarby9693]

Poor Pete 😂 you need more ammo to go back at her with mate 😂

[@barbarajennion6113]

“Every time I came home you were making a Stonehenge” 🤣🤣😂😂 I can’t move on until I get the image and chuckling out of my system 😂

[@lillypixie28]

Abi, pls listen back the first bit where Pete is trying to explain about the dog show and you constantly talk over him. You two are great ;)

[@stevie150365]

Is it just me who thinks there should be no homework , kids spend all day learning, they should be able to chill at home

[@cherylford2421]

My daughter didn't do homework. She had just sat in school all day and she wanted to play. She started to do some year 5/6 to prep for senior school. She was classed as "gifted and talented" and has a good degree. Not every child is academic, let them find their way!

[@mrbojangles5313]

Give them homework, lest they be unemployed. Feed their brains with the sweet nectar of education.

[@PaulGerardG]

Love this podcast. It’s hilarious and think Abby is getting funnier by the week.

[@janehenney1946]

I dislike how after/ out of school clubs are all about getting to competition level, why is there nothing that they can do just for fun and fitness without more pressure.

[@Segasocks]

Ten times a day to one friend! No wonder she's always claiming to be short on time!

[@marieholbrook847]

I look forwards to this podcast every tuesday ❤❤

[@frankmcloughlin7076]

'Fraudulent slip'....😄😄

[@DirtyBertie]

Peters rather an insightful gentleman when it comes down to it

[@StaceyDuffield-hi9iv]

Love that you are so down to earth xx

[@mikkoniiranen1865]

Loving the podcast. I was expected to take full responsibility of my school work etc. since I was about 9 given that in Finland we do not have this massive Stonehenge type of things to do at home.

[@JayneBraddick-xj5qn]

Keep on being you Abbey 💖

[@tillyelodie8784]

Love this podcast so much ❤

[@dannyboy_dannyboy8274]

Love this but defo had the old Marcello’s done!

[@phm4215]

You’re both doing great as parents, there’s nothing wrong with wanting the kids to appreciate what they have and regularly reminding them. Also Ab the ying and yang between you and Pete is not a problem, our mum dished out the discipline in our house growing up but it didn’t stop up loving and respecting her more than anything in the world when we grew up. The most important thing is to be on the same page in front of the kids whether you agree or not. Discuss your thoughts in private and then compromise. Finally our one regret is not encouraging our daughter to continue playing the piano, she was doing so well but when she reached 15 she got bored when other things got in the way (boyfriends etc.). She’s in her 30’s now with a family of her own but says she wishes we had pushed her a little harder with the piano, she regrets giving that up! 🤷‍♂️ Lovin the podcast 👌

[@craigbennett3627]

absolute belter! in stiches!

[@charmainerooney9430]

I personally think when kids are at school they should have a couple of clubs or hobbies to do in the week,but they also need time just to either chill or play at home or outdoors

[@susanlaffan6934]

Children would break your heart when they drop out of activities they’re good at, but if they really don’t want to do it you have to let it go. It’s so hard and frustrating though .

[@verselines]

imo, enforce the homework routine not so much for the sake of homework per se (as some have mentioned it shouldn't be needed in and of itself) but you should definitely still set the routine and enforce it to instill some discipline in the kids. you don't want your kids to grow up becoming typical spoilt/entitled rich kids. saw so many of them at uni and they were terrible to be around and heaven help you if you ended up having to do any group projects with them.

[@stevehall3609]

Homework before evening meal and play!

[@christinemulvaney7020]

Love yous both absolutely brilliant ...a angel feather on your top angel is watching over you both love you guys ❤❤

[@zarabond28]

“I love a wet man” what a comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Mykilll]

What Abbey says about kids doing these science homework but the parents making it..making the solar system ...its so true.

[@paulamblerart]

"...Abbey...Vikings used umbrellas....especially while at sea..."😎

[@jackmcgovern3935]

Everytime i come home youre making a stone henge 😂

[@Rbali50]

I’m with abbey on this one. I was really good at judo as a child but my friends quit and so I quit too and definitely wish my parents pushed me more do keep up with it I also wish I was pushed to play an instrument too

[@AN-cy7xm]

Homework is overrated...by teachers. Kids' homework should be helping their parents with dinner and learning to clean and take care of themselves and their family home. Half-hour of HW per night is plenty. Subjects should rotate each day.

[@thescallytrader]

0:50 seconds in....I hate throwing up.....I get the impression she has made a career out of it.

[@chris-cole]

Hey Abbey, Google Lu Ban 😂

[@cherylford2421]

My daughter was a very talented swimmer. Three hours to a pool, 28 secs competing and three hours back. Packed it in stuck to horse riding and still riding 25 years later!

[@hypnotics7886]

Pete is such a pain in the backside. And it’s hilarious 😂

[@traceyallen5691]

Maybe cut back on the after school clubs just do 1 or 2 then they can come home do the homework then have a kick about with Pete lol

[@ailbhemaguire6020]

im dying to see what the producer looks like, put a face to the name lol

[@cherylford2421]

Am i the only one who thinks the lamps remind me of daleks? I do like them though!

[@robovac3557]

Only you can know what something reminds you of.

[@LaMoria.]

Great podcast 🍻 And Schooling system is overrated As long as children learn to cultivate The hardest things which is Self interest, they’re good to go 📚🎶

[@tylerduncan4203]

Did she just say a late night at the weekend is half 8 😂

[@tylerduncan4203]

Not hate btw love the podcast really funny and I love how Abby is about their kids realising how lucky they are it’s refreshing to hear ❤

[@jenbabes]

Freudian slip lol not fraudulent x

[@samc8183]

Even a premier league 100 club member is still dealing with a nagging wife who won’t let him play golf when he wants without a hard time. Frankly embarrassing state of affairs. 🤡🌎

[@anthonyosman1998]

You are both right guys , defo need balance, also abs is right to that kids will learn better at a younger age their brains are like sponges ready to learn an absorb all the education thrown at them, also kids need a routine with some play time little breaks.

[@Sci-Fry1974]

Peter, did you ever play at ninian park ground🐦🐦

[@Huxley350]

Aggy 😂😂

[@Elizalustof]

If a guy turned up at my house to take me on a date with an umbrella (and it was raining obvs) - I’d genuinely find that suave. What man would make the effort with his self to look smart then get drenched & feel uncomfortable. The umbrella tells me he thinks ahead. Nothing worse than someone who says “ didn’t think that one through” ☔️❤

[@wendyjohnson8390]

Love you guys, but Abby it feels like you dont validate Peter when hes trying to explain how he sees things right or wrong. Hes so encouraging to you and I cann see you love hime so maybe be a little more encouraging but you are fab

[@zaakirh1]

Hi Abbey Wardrobe distraction ... best show charisma after CBS CL Panel

[@titan89222]

I wouldn't usually care but god, the whole conversation about men with umbrellas triggered me so much, if a woman told me off for using an umbrella I'd be out of there so fast. 🤣 Just reenforcing toxic masculinity, men should be hard, they shouldn't care about getting wet. Who likes getting soaking wet it's fucking miserable.

[@mattford9044]

Seems to me it would be easier to train the dogs to do the homework?

[@chrismartin7328]

Screw that be sick on your own that’s what spare rooms for

[@athenag745]

I like this, wish she would stop fussing with her hair though

[@PUNKslots]

You dodged a bullet her not liking swimming. It's bloody boring as a swimmer and a parent watching it.

[@anxiousmindmusic]

"I'm fanatical about animals" - didn't realise she was vegan

[@CindyParker-tv7oi]

Love your podcast, but Abby, how are you fanatical about animals, but not vegan?

[@tinastock5212]

I have 3 grandkids 2 elder ones 23yrs and 20yrs are as thick as s.... The younger one who is 11 is so clever in everything he does especially football everyone loves him in school his hard working funny and caring x

[@Open_Space0718]

Abbey love, stop nagging. These things you whine about aren't serious and poor Pete is made to feel like he's no good. Be grateful you have a great husband.

[@rc27td]

they both said they don’t really argue or bicker in real life. they know their relationship better than we do. Pete is fine, he knows who Abbey is

[@nyreesmall2839]

No, they said they don’t argue but they bicker. I’ll take a ‘you’re a fucking cunt’, ‘no you are’, slam door argument once in a while over constant bickering

[@davaboy8478]

Kids in from school get changed in something comfy start homework with a snack . when done then the have the rest of the night to have dinner play and chill

[@WebbyBrum-fg6lf]

Fucking funny this is. Pete’s a legend. 😂

[@davaboy8478]

Hi there love the podcast it's hilarious .. abbey you need to chill sometimes you come across too serious sometimes 😂😂 hilarious when you said the children stayed up late 8.30pm 9pm😂😂😂 let them go to bed when the want at weekend.. during the week 10pm ... children are at school all day learning that's why there shouldn't be homework at night .. night should be for spending time with family or playing....

[@jacobmiddleton5615]

Love the pod. I think parents want their kids to do what they weren’t able to, so because Pete has been a player he doesn’t have that urge to push the lads to become players🦫
