Balancing Kids And Career, At Any Age

We know balancing family and your career can be tough when your little one is young, but does that get any easier once they're a teen? Today on the show, we're joined by Brendan Jones, one half of radio duo Jonesy and Amanda, to share his experience as a dad of older kids. He chats about how he tackled parenting his kids 10 years apart, getting up for work at 3.45am, and how parenting is easier when you're a dad. Plus, our nails and fails include cereal for dinner and a mistaken profession.  THE END BITS  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening!
