    #277 How To Ruin Your Child's Day In One Move

    This week, the guys are absolutely failing at dad life. Matt makes one wrong move and ruins his kid's entire day, while Ash's house is threatening to collapse after a year of DIY renovations. Even the Doters are having a rough time, with literal shit in their hands. Ash has also defected to a new phone, which is already testing his patience, while Matt's relationship with Lola reaches new heights after she asks to join him on a run. Turns out kids CAN be interested in things other than ruining your day! Plus, the Doters share their best parenting hacks to claw back 15 precious minutes of your day. Because every minute counts when you're a parent. Thanks to National Pies!

    #276 Watch Your Kid & Back Up Your Threats

    This week, the guys are back tackling your deepest, darkest Doting Dilemmas, kicking things off with an OG listener from across the ditch! She wants to know how the bloody hell you get your son to stop sucking his thumb. Plus, gender disappointment when you're expecting a baby, whether baby wipes are actually baby-proof, and the tricky question of when (if ever) it's okay to tell another parent they're not keeping a close enough eye on their child. All the big questions. None of the easy answers. ______________________________________________________________________________ If you want to buy a doting hat or choreplay calendar head to: https://www.twodotingdads.com/category/all-products  If you need a shoulder to cry on:  Two Doting Dads Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/639833491568735/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTwoDotingDads  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twodotingdads/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twodotingdads   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    #274 Keira Rumble: The Rollercoaster Of Motherhood

    This week, the guys sit down with CEO and founder Keira Rumble, who opens up about the journey to becoming a mum and why getting pregnant was only the beginning of the battle. From infertility struggles and a difficult pregnancy to a postpartum fog that lasted two years, Keira holds nothing back about the realities of her motherhood journey, the impact on her mental health and finding her way back to the light. It's raw, honest and deeply moving, with plenty of love for the two beautiful kids who made it all worthwhile. Content warning: This conversation touches on depression and suicide.

    #273 Raging Against Everything

    Get ready to RAGE, because the guys are absolutely fed up with everything this week. Car parks, nosy neighbours, construction sites, ChatGPT, their own kids… nothing is safe. Matt is feeling guilty about teaching his kids something stupid, while Ash is ready to take matters into his own hands with flyers for inconsiderate drivers. Subtle. Plus, the guys debate whether men or women experience more pain, explain why Laura is the true hero of the household, and discover how to turn your kids’ little rhymes into a song that’ll have them dancing around the living room. Basically, everyone's annoying them. Including themselves. ______________________________________________________________________________ If you need a shoulder to cry on:  Two Doting Dads Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/639833491568735/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTwoDotingDads  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twodotingdads/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twodotingdads     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    #272 Cubicle Confessions

    This week, Matt confesses to something he’s deeply uncomfortable with: using a public toilet when someone’s in the next cubicle. Thankfully, Ash has some sound (and mildly disgusting) advice to help him get through it. And if you thought the toilet chat ended there, you clearly haven’t been listening to this podcast. Today’s Doter Dilemma asks how to get a toddler to poo on the toilet. So, same theme, really. The guys also tackle the art of getting an unwilling toddler into the car (think angry cat), how to reassure a dad whose newborn refuses to feed from him, and why we need to change the conversation around men and school pick-up. From toilet anxiety to parenting wins, it’s another week of the guys tackling the big issues. Well, some of them. ______________________________________________________________________________ If you need a shoulder to cry on:  Two Doting Dads Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/639833491568735/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTwoDotingDads  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twodotingdads/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twodotingdads   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    #271 Are We Moving To China!?

    This week Ash has been gallivanting around Asia, Matt’s being rejected in his own bedroom and the guys are preparing to unleash a calendar nobody asked for but everyone needs. First up, Ash is back from China (does this man ever unpack?) with a full rundown of his adventures and we’re pretty sure he’s been recruited… either that or we’ll all be relocating to China soon because frankly, it sounds bloody brilliant. He also spills on meeting his online racing league mates in Singapore for the first time. Big risk, potentially big reward. But did the internet strangers pass the vibe check?  Meanwhile, Matt’s down in the dumps after his latest attempt to woo Laura in the bedroom fails… again. Plus Ash has discovered a new ick in fully grown men and the guys get into why skin-to-skin contact is so good for our bubs. And there are more updates on the Sexy Choreplay Calendar coming soon for 2027. Finally, a way to make household chores worth looking at. ______________________________________________________________________________ If you need a shoulder to cry on:  Two Doting Dads Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/639833491568735/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTwoDotingDads  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twodotingdads/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twodotingdads   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    #270 Maggie Dent: Are We Getting Parenting Wrong?!

    The queen of common sense, Maggie Dent, is here to sort out the guys’ parenting problems with all the charm and wisdom we know and love about her. From schoolyard friendships to why presence beats presents, Maggie dishes out some much-needed perspective on the little moments that make you a good dad (even when you’re fairly certain you’re stuffing it up). Then she turns the tables and puts the guys in the hot seat to examine their own parenting. Needless to say, Matt gets emotional, Ash is left speechless, and the boys realise this little podcast they started for fun has become something far more meaningful than they ever could have imagined. Part parenting masterclass, part therapy session, this one will make you laugh, cry and possibly feel better about your own parenting. All thanks to the wonderful Maggie Dent. You can get Maggie's latest book, Digital Freedom here.  ______________________________________________________________________________ If you need a shoulder to cry on:  Two Doting Dads Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/639833491568735/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTwoDotingDads  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twodotingdads/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twodotingdads     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
