Kids EN ↓ 72 episodes

Let's face it! Parents don't have all the answers. We never have! There's no playbook to being a parent, you kinda have to figure it out for yourself. With 7 kids under the age of 17 between them, join Ryan, Shawna, and Johnny from Q107 Toronto as they hilariously navigate their way through parenting in 2024 making all kinds of mistakes along the way. Plus from time to time they're joined by celebrity parents just trying to keep it all "on the rails " just like them. A place to laugh, learn, and try to figure it all out together. This is BAD PARENTS. New Episodes every Wednesday!
