britfamilymorrissey's podcastCombining career and family life – it’s complicated!Helena is often asked how she ‘juggles everything’ – and of course the truthful answer is that she drops balls all over the place. The reality is that it’s complicated and difficult for parents to be genuinely, deeply involved in bringing up their children at the same time as furthering their careers. But there are ways of being a good, devoted mother or father and having a fulfilling career. We certainly can’t ‘do it all, all of the time’ – but we can learn to prioritise what’s important to us and to enjoy that!2020-04-2700 min

Richard has been in the unusual position of being a ‘stay at home’ dad for twenty years, and seen how he approaches things often quite differently to how many mothers would. If parents are bringing up children together, it’s important that each plays to their own strengths, and that if there’s no father figure, other male role models are part of a child’s life.2020-04-2000 min
