Episode 134: Daddy Day Trip

This week we discuss changes to Elterngeld in Germany which will see couples earning over €150,000 become ineligible for state support. Is this progress or regression? We debate parental responsibility and whether we can judge people’s parenting from social media posts, and we finish on an initiative in Berlin to test illegal drugs without involving law enforcement.

Episode 126: Angry Resting Gesicht

An angry reaction to a curious Oma leads to questions about whether it’s ever OK to compliment someone else’s child, and why Nic’s resting face may be preventing him from making friends with other parents. We also discuss ever increasing supermarket prices, claims of nepotism hitting the government, EU proposals to make drivers over 70 retake their driving tests, and nightmare exam scenarios.
