Love, Sleep & Saying “No”! Abbey and Peter Clash Over Relationship Habits, Parenting & Dream Days!

About this episode

<p>On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back with their usual mix of honesty, chaos and laugh-out-loud moments as they dive into the realities of relationships and family life.</p><br><p>Things kick off with Abbey’s “weekly whine” as she calls out Peter’s inability to say “no”—leading to confusing messages, overcomplicated situations and a few relationship frustrations. Peter hits back, claiming he’s just trying not to offend people, sparking a relatable debate about communication styles in relationships.</p><br><p>We also hear about a disastrous night’s sleep thanks to Abbey’s beloved Calm app, as Peter reveals how a relaxing meditation voice actually leaves him wide awake. From there, things spiral into bedtime chaos after the pair fall asleep watching TV and wake up to a completely different (and slightly traumatic) show.</p><br><p>The conversation turns more heartfelt as they discuss Mother’s Day, expectations around appreciation, and whether love should be shown every day rather than saved for special occasions. Plus, they open up about the realities of parenting—juggling kids of different ages, losing their weekends, and finding ways to keep the whole family entertained.</p><br><p>Later in the episode, Abbey plans Peter’s ultimate dream day—from luxury holidays to golf and unrealistic travel plans—before things take a hilarious turn in the kitchen as they argue over how to properly make a jacket potato.</p><br><p>If you want to submit an Agony Ab to the podcast - hit the link below</p><p>https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/edit</p><br><p>00:00 Introduction</p><p>01:45 Abbey’s “Weekly Whine” – “You Can’t Say No”</p><p>04:10 Easter Trip Chaos &amp; The New Puppy</p><p>06:40 “This Ruined My Sleep” – Calm App Disaster</p><p>08:40 Falling Asleep To TV Gone Wrong</p><p>12:15 Mother’s Day Debate – Are These Days Overrated?</p><p>14:45 Parenting Reality – Weekends Aren’t Ours</p><p>16:45 One-on-One Time With Kids</p><p>18:40 Holiday Arguments &amp; Relationship Dynamics</p><p>19:50 Peter’s Dream Day Planned</p><p>24:00 Food Preferences &amp; Relationship Compromises</p><p>27:15 Jacket Potato Cooking Debate</p><br><p>To contact us:</p><p>Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com</p><br><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/</p><br><p>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/</p><p> @thetherapycrouch</p><p>Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/</p><br><p>For more from Peter</p><p>https://twitter.com/petercrouch</p><br><p>For more from Abbey</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy</p><br><p>Our clips channel</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
