"I didn't really get to enjoy being a father and that was borne out of not having a clue what I was doing"

Episode 56:

This week we're straight talking the fatherhood. Peter is back for one week only! We discuss the changing roles of fathers, the change in lifestyle after having a child, the anxiety that comes with having a sick child, parental guilt and losing your identity to being a parent, father's as disciplinarians and "wait until your father gets home." We also discuss father's rights in Ireland and Allan shares some of his experience of having had to go to court over child access and guardianship.

Allan's riled with how limiting social media platforms are in trying to promote the podcast, Peter's bringing his son to a healer and our new guest host pops on to say hello and speak shit about Allan!
