    Can Our Son See DEAD People?! Ouija Boards & Halloween Parenting Horrors

    This week, we're getting into the spooky side of parenting… and things get a little weird! Because it's our Daddies Overnight Halloween Special! Can children really see dead people? Ryan reveals that he once did a Ouija board, and Matthew isn't entirely convinced by his story. We chat about ghosts, talking to spirits and whether there's more going on than we can explain. Plus, we're sharing some scary Halloween parenting stories, trick-or-treating horrors and the things that genuinely send shivers down our spines when it comes to raising little ones. Is it all just our imagination, or is there something spooky going on? 👀 New episodes to watch and listen to EVERY Tuesday.

    Our Changing Feelings About Adoption... & Leaving Our Son For A WEEK!

    Guys, we went away for a WEEK without Lincoln, and it came with the guilt and worries around leaving him behind, but our overall feeling throughout the week surprised us and probably will surprise you too...Should parents feel guilty for taking time away from their children, or are we allowed to be Matthew and Ryan as well as Daddy and Daddy? We also dive into a conversation that’s left us genuinely torn: should you celebrate your child’s adoption day? We share our thoughts, the different perspectives we’ve considered, and why something that feels so meaningful can also bring up some difficult emotions. It’s an honest conversation about parenting, adoption, judgement and trying to work out what feels right for your family, even when there isn’t a straightforward answer ❤️ We’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode's topics, especially if adoption is part of your family’s story.

    I Nearly Poisoned My Child! Has Gentle Parenting Gone Too Far?

    We share the story from a dummy confession from a completely exhausted listener nearly poisoning their child, because apparently sleep deprivation and juggling all things parenting really does turn your brain to mush! We’re also getting into the debate around gentle parenting and asking whether a generation of new parents has become too scared to say no, set boundaries or simply… parent?! Are we all just massive pushovers now? (We shouldn't have got Ryan started on this topic lol!) Plus, we open up about our experience with night terrors, what they're like to witness as parents, and the things nobody prepares you for when you have children.

    Bad Parenting Choices, Offending Almond Mums & Type A Parents with Muddle Through Mummy

    For the first time ever, we’re joined by a guest on Daddies Overnight! (We are literally SO excited!) This week, we’re joined by the amazing Daisy AKA Muddle Through Mummy! She's a mum of two, creator and fellow parent navigating the chaos, laughs and questionable decisions that we all know come with raising kids. We’re getting into the parenting choices we probably shouldn’t admit to, the things that might have the almond mums reaching for their keyboards, and the never ending Type A vs Type B parent debate (we probably offended her during this debate as our first guest too) Are some parenting rules taken a little too seriously? Are we too relaxed? And just how many “bad” parenting choices are we willing to confess to? 👀 Welcome to the first ever Daddies Overnight guest episode! ❤️ New episodes to watch and listen to EVERY Tuesday.

    Baby Number Two: Adopting Again & Looking at Nurseries

    A question that’s been quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) on our minds - should we have another baby? And if so... when? We talk honestly about the constant back and forth of whether to adopt again now, wait a little longer, or if our family might already be complete. It’s a bigger emotional decision than we expected, and we’re definitely feeling the pressure of “is there ever a right time?” It's time to also dive into our experiences visiting nurseries for our son the last few weeks, including a few that just didn’t feel right. From gut instincts to unexpected doubts. And of course… we couldn’t end the episode without a bit of a debate. Our dummy confession this week might divide opinions - should people be allowed to kiss your child? Where do you draw the line? New episodes to watch and listen to EVERY Tuesday.

    Toddler Tantrum Nightmare In Public & The Start Of A Post Adoption Midlife Crisis

    This week we’re feeling… old. Like, suddenly questioning 'what on earth has happened to us' old. Has parenthood aged us overnight, or is Ryan just fully entering his post adoption midlife crisis era? We talk about the strange identity shift that comes with becoming parents, the unexpected emotions that hit even when everything is “going well,” and why it sometimes feels like we’ve lost a version of ourselves along the way. We also get into Coachella FOMO (because apparently that version of us still exists somewhere), and share the reality of our recent family holiday, which was a lot harder than we expected. From missing our son while literally being with him, to navigating parent guilt and the emotional rollercoaster of stepping away for work. Oh, and dummies confessions is a gooden!
