Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I give a little dance recap, something my wife and I have been doing for the past 6 months or so.  We went to a little party, brought our girls, had fun, as well as danced in front of many people, and that's what today's episode is all about.  Getting out of our comfort zones, getting away from that mundane day in day out and even that lazy or unmotivated mentality that we can all get stuck in.  Whats holding us back?  What's preventing us from trying those new things and stepping out of this bubble of safety?  Let's go through a few benefits to stepping out of that comfort zone and doing things that excite life and help us grow!

On today's episode of Stay At Home Dads Podcast I begin with talking about my two kids being on fall break, and how difficult it has been despite me trying to entertain and occupy them.  Next, I discuss a Buzzfeed article which talks about a reddit post that asked what traits or actions scream trashy parent.  Some are nothing burgers but some are very irritating so let me know what you think.  Lastly, I mention a few parenting points that I think are quite obnoxious and irritating to me, you may relate to them as well.  We all may do one or none of these but either way lets think about these and try and do better.  Article links are listed below.  Have a great weekend!

Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I talk about a Reddit post I came across about a woman who was venting about the awful things her husband does and thought about leaving constantly.  There were many more people in the comments complaining about similar things so I wanted to know more. I found a few articles that were geared toward things husbands do to irritate and bother their wives so I dove in. I discuss some of the points comparing and relating my own experiences with them. Hopefully this will enlighten you as it did me and make us all be better husbands.

On today's episode of Stay At Home Dads Podcast I start with something I observed at my local park.  Did I read into the situation too much?  You be the judge.  I also rant about another situation I witnessed which led me to talk about the main topic of today's episode, the work ethic and drive of a certain generation, the Z type, as well as some Millennials.  I theorize as to why they are the way they are as well as what we can do within our own families and kids to try and instill those values of a great work ethic and doing the best they can so they succeed in life and adulthood.  I reference a few articles that are linked below.

I also talk about volunteering in situations like that as well as in other ways for my daughters school.  How much should we be doing?  Finally, I talk about being a positive role model for our kids, other kids, as well as leaving a good impression on other adults.  How important is it and what are some of the ways we can model it for our kids?

Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I open the show with more trending topics, including the new football season, fantasy, and not calling it “sports ball”.  I also mention an Illinois act that abolishes cash bail for all charges and has been all over social media lately.  Lastly, I talk about an event I participated in that reminded me about pushing through when the going gets tough and not giving up or quitting.  I also mention getting basic duties done in your daily life, things we all struggle with from day to day.

On today';s episode of Stay At Home Dads Podcast I begin with a trending topic I came across, a very unique pet walking through a Pennsylvania park.  I also talk about how ridiculous some of these emotion support animals have become.  I then talk about all the family that has been coming to visit me lately and I somehow spin that into talking about how important it is to be close and stay in contact with those family members.  I also talk about a nice pro/con article that I will link below.

Today on Stay at Home Dads Podcast I open the show with being on another week of solo dad duty while my wife was out of town for work.  I then get into the main topic of the show, aging, and how my interests and mannerisms have changed as I have gotten older.  With all my quiet time I had while my wife was away I stumbled upon an AARP article that's titled: 5 Good Habits That Might Cause Premature Aging and was intrigued.  I discuss these habits and what the author of the article suggests we do as well as my personal tips that relate to them.  Links are below, please share this show with a friend!
