#73 "Quit Telling me What to Do All the Time Dad!"

The Boys tackle the struggle of giving kids independence without losing the emotional connection. Matt shares a recent bedtime standoff with his 6-year-old that led to a breakthrough in how he handles her growing need for autonomy (spoiler: there’s a silent ‘f*** you’ involved). Meanwhile, Max reflects on the pressure to always be the "good dad" and how that sometimes leads to over-parenting—even when all the kid really needs is space. Expect hard truths, a lot of laughs, and a reminder that as long as you love them and don’t hit them, you’re probably doing just fine.Buy Violet Archer on Amazon HereMilkless on InstagramMilkless on TikTokLISTEN + WATCH VIOLET ARCHERFollow on Instagram
