Are you a busy mum craving a break? When the kids are finally out of the house – whether they’re at school, a sleepover, or miraculously entertaining themselves – there’s nothing better than binge-watching Parenthood on Netflix with a massive cup of tea (or let’s be real, wine).
If you haven’t watched Parenthood yet, you’re missing out! It’s the ultimate comfort show for mums, packed with heartwarming family moments, relatable parenting struggles, and enough emotional moments to have you reaching for the tissues (while demolishing a snack stash).
Why Every Mum Needs Parenthood on Netflix
1. The Perfect Blend of Chaos & Heartwarming Moments
The Braverman family is far from perfect, but their ups and downs mirror real-life parenting. Sibling fights, marriage struggles, teenage drama, and the constant battle to “get it right” – it’s all there. Watching them navigate it makes our own chaos feel a little more normal.
2. Parenting Wins That Feel Like Your Own
When a character finally cracks the code to handling their moody teen or a frazzled mum on the show admits she’s completely winging it, it’s weirdly validating. If they can survive it, so can we!
3. Zero Guilt, Maximum Relaxation
Let’s be real – parenting is non-stop. The house is never truly quiet, so when it is, why waste time cleaning? Parenthood on Netflix auto-plays episode after episode, requiring zero effort, and honestly, that’s exactly what we need sometimes.
How to Set Up the Perfect Binge-Watching Session
✔️ Snack of choice: Chocolate, crisps, or whatever the kids haven’t swiped yet.
✔️ Drink: Tea, coffee, wine – whatever keeps you going.
✔️ Comfy spot: Sofa, bed, or floor if you’ve reached peak exhaustion.
✔️ No interruptions: Lock the door if necessary! 😆
Why Mums Deserve This Guilty Pleasure
Being a mum is rewarding but exhausting, and we all need a mental reset. Watching other parents on screen stressing, messing up, and figuring things out as they go? Weirdly therapeutic and a reminder that we’re all doing our best.
So no, I’m not ashamed – Parenthood on Netflix is my lifeline when the house is finally quiet. If you haven’t watched it yet, I highly recommend it. Just be warned – you’ll get emotionally attached, and you will cry at least once per episode.
Are you a Parenthood fan, or do you have another go-to binge-watch when the kids are away? Let me know – I might need something new when I’ve rewatched this for the fifth time! 🍿📺
