Welcome to episode 12 of the Slouching towards Thatcham podcast, which brings you the very best content from your favourite parent bloggers.

Every week a fellow blogger joins me to talk about and read one of their favourite posts for your listening pleasure. It’s as simple as that: bite-sized chunks of blogging brilliance!

This week’s guest is the multi-award winning Ben from Goodbye, Pert Breasts: The Diary of a Newborn Dad. Author of three books, he is also a multiple award winner ay BritMums’ Brilliance in Blogging and Tots100’s MAD Awards.

Ben’s reading a post entitled Things every parent has done (but might not admit to), a list of things that many parents will instantly recognise, even if we don’t necessarily talk about them openly.

You can follow Ben on his blog Goodbye, Pert Breasts, on Twitter @benwakeling and also on Facebook and Instagram.

Just as Ben revealed his list of things that parents do, this week I’ve reached into my archive to talk about a specific condition – and a number of related ones – that afflict only parents.

It’s known as Proudparentitis and it’s a disease that can strike any parent at any time. Watch out – you never know when you might be next!

In addition to the blog, you can also follow me on Twitter, Facebook and other social networks via the buttons at the bottom of this post.
