Nathan and Cara are back, and somehow a conversation about their daughter's pink hair turns into a debate about sex, vasectomies and whether either of them can be trusted with a hobby. This week on Not In Front Of The Kids, Nathan and Cara are talking about the everyday chaos of parenting - from letting your kids express themselves to the arguments that somehow start over absolutely nothing. Should kids be allowed to dye their hair? Is it really that deep? And what happens when the school actually approves of it?

Nathan and Cara receive one of those phone calls from school every parent dreads... they however, doesn't think it's quite the scandal everyone else does. This week they're talking all things school! From chaotic mornings and WhatsApp parent groups to whether schools are actually preparing children for adult life, they ask if the education system has got its priorities right. They also debate whether taking your children out of school for Disneyland should really land parents with a fine, why homeschooling suddenly doesn't sound like such a crazy idea, and whether Nathan was undermined afte...
Nathan was almost kidnapped from a supermarket as a child. It's one of those family stories that sounds completely made up... except it isn't. Before recording, Nathan and Cara also have a blazing row in public that ends with Nathan buying Cara a gift just to get back in her good books. Then it's onto one of parenting's biggest challenges: discipline. Do parents secretly believe their children can do no wrong? Nathan and Cara certainly don't. They discuss why they know their own kids can be absolute knobs, Delilah's favourite threat of telling her teachers they've hit her whenever she's tol...
Heads up - we've never gone at each other like this on air before, so brace yourselves for a lot of tension right off the back! Then we get into the big topic: screentime and social media! How much screen time is actually too much? Is the iPad a genius parenting tool or a quiet admission of defeat? And what do you say when your child asks why they're not on your Instagram when literally every other kid in their class is? We are also getting into the messy stuff - posting your kids online, whether you'd ever let your child be an actual influencer if they begged you, what age you hand over a ...
Nathan's been to Ibiza, nobody in the house has slept properly, and Cara still doesn't have access to his location on Find My Friends.

Co-sleeping: genuinely dangerous or the only thing that works? Controlled crying: cruel and unusual punishment or the kindest thing you can do for everyone in the house? Nathan and Cara get into all of it, including the moments they've parented badly because they were runni...
Nathan's clothes have been sat in the same pile for a week, the Kärcher is still blocking the kitchen, and apparently cleaning the car is now a love language. Is there really such a thing as men's jobs and women's jobs, or is someone just getting away with doing less? Then it's onto one of parenting's biggest battlegrounds – food. Should children eat what's put in front of them, or are parents making life harder by cooking three different dinners every night? Are fussy eaters born that way, or are they created? Is it cruel to send your child to school hungry because they refused breakfast, ...
Fair warning - this is the first episode and they are already fighting! How could Nathan think jetting off to Ibiza on a stag do and leaving Cara alone in Disneyland with the kids was going to go down well? Buckle up.We are kicking off with something that is genuinely causing tension in the house right now - holidays. Specifically, can you actually relax on holiday when the kids come with you, or is it just parenting in a different postcode? Is it selfish to go on holiday without your kids? How do you survive long haul travel with children who have decided this is the moment to completely u...
