The Agony of Life

The Aunts and Uncles discuss the key moments from their childhood - first memories, games, friends and things you saw that you wished you hadn't.

The Aunts and Uncles talk about what it was like to try and fit-in at school, the bullying and being bullied, the excruciating sex lessons from their parents, and the experimentation with hair, clothes and body ink.

The Aunts and Uncles read the riot act on flatmates, eating, drinking, drugs, romances and first cars. And then asked whether they took this time in their life for granted, or worse, mistook being young for being immortal.

This is the part where our Aunts and Uncles realised that they were now adults who had to become self-sufficient while deciding how to fulfill their career and social potential. So how did they learn to stand out in job interviews, turn up to work on time after a massive night out, and form opinions on politics, culture and etiquette?

Not all of our Aunts and Uncles have children, but each of them has opinions on how children should be brought up.

Career and career-legacy is something that dominates our thinking and our Aunts and Uncles are successful enough to tell you how to have a fulfilling career, remain calm under pressure, and maintain a sensible work-life balance. But what about the more difficult questions of how to maintain dignity when sacked, reach the top without screwing other people over, and surviving a workplace or public scandal with as much grace as possible?
