Two Childless Blokes Debate Stay-at-Home Parenting, How Liam’s Single-Parent Upbringing & Financial Reality Shatters the Dream: Part 1 on the Shared Minds Podcast

December 1, 2025 · 25 min

Show notes

In this two-part crossover between The Shared Minds Podcast and Underqualified & Oversharing, we dive straight into a convo that had Liam proper fired up. It kicked off after he saw a video claiming every woman should be a stay-at-home mum and for someone who grew up in a single-parent home and watched the financial pressure firsthand, that hit on a whole different level.

Part One is us pulling the curtain back on the real stay-at-home parent experience why it sounds like the dream, why so many people desperately wish they could do it, and why the financial world we’re actually living in makes it damn near impossible for most families.

And if you want the full thing with all the nuance, rants, and chaos… the full video is now up on YouTube. Go check it out.
