Recorded in front of a live audience at Camp Bestival, Katie Thistleton and Guvna B explore why parents so often feel judged for the choices they make and the best ways of dealing with it.

In The Library tent, with the sounds of the main stage drifting in from outside, they sat down with viral content creator MumBum and GP and author of How to Be a Dad, Dr Oscar Duke, to talk about the judgements they've faced as parents.

Feeling judged is something that can seep into every part of parenting. It's there in the small decisions and the big ones, in the comments people make, the looks they give, and even the assumptions we make about what others might be thinking.

And sometimes it's not even coming from other people. Sometimes it's the voice in our own heads, telling us we should be calmer, more patient, more organised, more present, more fun... more everything.

So why do parents often feel judged? We explore what really matters and what we can afford to let go of.
