Underaged Grandparents with Matty & Esther Acton

Accidentally Drugging a Kid

This week on Underaged Grandparents, we’re diving into the stuff no one really teaches you…
🔥 Perimenopause — what it actually is, what it means for relationships, and why men probably need to understand it better. (Disclaimer: we are NOT doctors… just two confused people trying to survive marriage.)
😳 Did Matt cross a line with someone else’s kids? It got awkward… fast. You decide — was it harmless or a hard no?
🌪️ Am I Overreacting? is back — and we are divided. A dramatic storm-out… but was it justified?

The Unspoken Rules of Kids’ Parties

It’s been a BIG week for Matty & Esther. One national TV appearance later… and now they’re spiralling: are they actually better parents the second time around — or just more tired?
What’s the best way to deliver bad news to your partner? We tried it. It backfired. Spectacularly.
Plus — what are the unspoken rules of kids’ parties?Do you stay or drop and run?How much are we spending on presents now?And since when did parents start having drinks at them?!
Oh — and we somehow deep dive into the science behind those freakishly long frozen chips. Because obviously.
It’s chaotic. It’s relatable. It’s classic Underaged Grandparents.

What Happened In The WhatsApp

Every parent has to deal with them… school WhatsApp groups. But are there rules? And if so, why does nobody follow them? We break it down — and yes, we’re asking for backup.
 
Ever checked how much your kid has accidentally spent online? Don’t. Actually… do. But sit down first.
 
And then there’s the conversation no one wants to have — what do you want done with your ashes when you die? Our friend’s parents have an idea so unhinged it should probably be illegal. Just wait for it.
 
Parenting, relationships, and the slow realisation that no one knows what they’re doing.

Back To School & Busted With A Fake ID

It’s back-to-school week, which comes with ALL the emotions!
We’re happy the school holiday stress has died down, but with a child starting high school, Matty and Esther have a lot to reflect on.
 
We break down the Beckham saga and ask the question: “Is it a parent’s or a child’s job to make amends?”
Plus, a story of every parent’s worst nightmare – losing someone else’s child.
