This was first broadcast December 21st, on 94.9 MainFM in Castlemaine, Victoria.
In this episode of the show, hosts Sarah and Sam chat about what we can learn about parenting and families from the 2004 “comedy”, Christmas with the Kranks. Using the film’s depiction of parenthood and family as their jumping-off point, the folks chat about division of labour, handling the stress of family Christmas time, and Sarah’s undying love for festive movies.
Don’t come expecting definitive answers or paths to parenting greatness. This is just two ordinary, imperfect folks getting real and having a chat.
You better be good.
