Gray Hair and Daycare : Gen X Dad, Gen Beta Baby

New Teeth, Getting Bit & Being Peed On, Fatherhood Advice for the Viral Age : Episode 32 Part 1


Listen Later

Welcome to Episode 32! Older dads Frank (56) and Carlo (57) are back after a brief hiatus. Frank's daughter, Baby Josie, is now seven and a half months old, and they kick off with a chaotic start as Carlo's arrival sends the baby into a crying fit!

In the "Book Report," the Gen X dads discuss a controversial article about parents filming their children crying for "clicks" (like the viral 'cheese challenge'). This leads to a funny debate on consent, privacy, and whether the baby advice to ask a baby's consent before changing a diaper is the ultimate parenting mistakes.

The big news in "I Was Wrong" is that Frank was actually right! Despite a recent scare and professional advice, Josie has been eating apples with no problem and has moved on to loving tomatoes and hummus as part of her baby led weaning. The episode ends with updates on Josie's developmental progress, including her new two bottom teeth and an unfortunate incident where she "thoroughly peed" on Frank, a classic moment of dad life that offers a reality check on being a dad. Tune in for honest fatherhood advice and trademark humor in life as they continue raising kids!
