Description
This week Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from Adam Pearson. Adam is a market researcher, he says:
“Hey Frankie and Steve!
Me and my wife don't have kids at the moment. Screaming babies and kiddie tantrums in public places have been an excellent contraception over the last couple of years.
But we definitely want to start a family soon. (Just don't tell my mum. She's obsessed.)
Do you have any top tips for soon-to-be freelance parents? Or things you wish you'd known or thought about before you had kids?
Thanks in advance. Hopefully we still want kids at the end of the episode…”

When people seem to think your job is a "hobby": This week Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from Jo Breeze. Jo is a crowdfunding consultant and writer, she says: “My work makes a genuine contribution to paying the bills in our house. It’s not quite 50/50 but some months it’s pretty close. But when I tell people what I do, I sometimes find there’s an assumption that it’s a hobby that I’ve taken on to keep me busy (HAAA) around children. I feel especially awkward when people tell me about their wife or their friend who’s ‘self-employed like you’ when it turns out what they mean is sells things on eBay sometimes, or similar. How do I assert that actually my job is a ‘real’ job, without doing down the choices of other women?” by Doing It For The Kids
