Beav and Alex are in the podcast studio for the last time before it all gets broken down. Fortunately, its because the new studio is ready to move into. But thats not what we are talking about today, Bev and Alex are both dealing with some real DAD LIFE situations.

Beav’s oldest daughter has become the master manipulator of the family and will put on full scale productions claiming she doesn’t feel good, just to be able to sleep in mom and dad’s room. Beav has officially nominated her for an Academy Award for her acting skills. It has become a real problem, since they now don’t know when she is actually sick, or just faking it for attention.

On the other side of the table, Alex is dealing with 3 year olds that are just learning how to use the power of manipulation to get water before bed, or run around the house when they should be in their room. Alex is able to nip this behavior in the butt for the moment by being extra tough since the boys are so young and they aren’t at the point where they will remember it.

Hear all of this and a ton more real life Dad talk on this episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® Podcast.
