About this episode
This week, Mother Tongue are joined by the hilariously brilliant Matt Coyne also known as ‘Man vs Baby’ & Author of Sunday Times Bestsellers Man vs Baby U.S. and Man vs Toddler. Matt speaks about his journey to parenthood and beyond, keeping us in fits of hysteria along the way. Father to baby boy Charlie who is now 5 years old, the episode is fueled with lots of laughs, hilarious connotations and brilliants quotes. A sneak peak.. ‘My mum gave me a book before becoming a parent called ‘The Good House Keeping guide to parenting’ - they say to picture what it is like to be in labour, imagine passing a large piece of fruit whilst constipated. To get a sense of how much it hurts, you should put your fingers in your mouth and pull your mouth apart so you can feel the stretch - and that’s how much it stings.’This is an episode not to be missed!
