Kids do not have the same concept of time as adults. They have no deadlines. They don't feel the anxiety. So how do you connect with them, when your mornings are timed?

It's never a battle to give your kids screen time, but it's an absolute war when the screen goes off. We talk about our experiences, and what we've learned over the years that has helped us win more battles over the screens.

When everything is all planned out and then your kid decides to… well, be a kid, how do you react? For us, it’s not always how we’d like to react, or necessarily the most productive way to act. In this episode, we discuss leaning into the chaos a little bit, choosing which battles to fight, and controlling what you can control (spoiler: it’s just your emotions).

Bandit is one of the most fun dads on TV, despite being a fictional, animated dog. He's just a super fun dad who likes to play, but still finds ways to make everything a good learning experience for his daughters, Bluey and Bingo. Behind every great dad, is an even stronger mom, so let's make sure we give his wife, Chili, the credit she deserves... MUM!

With a few more years of experience under our belts, and a few more years on our kids we wanted to revisit the idea on finding time for yourself. How you communicate your wants with your partner, how you set both of you up for success and how you find balance between making sure both parents have an opportunity to let their hair down.

This week, Ethan wanted to talk about a topic, but did not explain it well. Alex went on a long (and accurate) point countering a lot of what Ethan said. Ethan then clarifies what he meant to say, but didn't in a long pause, and ultimately the dads agree. Like the boy scouts say, "always be prepared" when you are taking your kids out in public, because if you aren't and you do not have a good time because of it, it's your own dang fault.If you enjoy this podcast, please like and subscribe to us on Youtube, which is the best way to help us grow.

In this episode, we’re discussing how to take care of yourself when the kids are sick. Having sick kids isn't fun for anybody involved, but when you get sick, or you get burnt out mentally from dealing with sick kids on top of the outside world that doesn't stop moving, things can seem unbearable (as Ethan is going through in real time during this episode). We share some of our best tips, from experience, of how we try to make things at least a little more manageable during these life curveballs.
