The Parenting Hangover

Look, we know it's early, but it's important. And it's an honest episode which speaks candidly about the existence of the S Man (and that bunny, and the fairy with the tooth fetish) so perhaps keep young ears away from this one. But what's the deal with Christmas? How much credit does Santa get, and how much credit do Mum and Dad get?? Also, why do we have these ritualistic lies that we tell our kids from birth? It's a fun and festive October Christmas special - Ho, Ho, Ho.

Our first ever guest, and it's the incredible How To Mum - Jordan's wife Jody! After springing a surprise vasectomy request on Jordan last week, we've convinced her to come on the podcast to talk about it. Why does she want Jordan to have the snip now, why doesn't Jordan want one, and who's want will win out?? 

This is a very funny and honest episode about fertility, family and looking to the future, and we can't wait for you to hear it. Thanks Jody!

NOW OFFICIALLY THE #1 PARENTING PODAST IN NEW ZEALAND!

This weekend (in New Zealand) we begin DAYLIGHT SAVING(S?)!  Arguably the best time of year. Kids can play outside late, we can have family BBQs  - life just feels better. But the days directly following that measly one-hour time change can be hell on earth for little sleepers, and the people who care for them. So on this TPH episode - Clint will share his full-proof hack to adjust your kids easily and painlessly, every time.

No one gets more obsessed with things than kids. Songs, TV shows, items of clothing, one specific type of food - they can go YEARS without wanting to wear or eat anything else, so today let';s talk about it! Both of our kids have a list of current and past obsessions, and so did we growing up.

Also a warning - the mail bag on this episode is very toilet focussed - but that's your fault, it's your DM's we are reading out!

Plus a veeeery intimate story from the marital bed of one Jordan Watson (boom chicka wow wow!)

What kind of dads are we? What do we aspire to be? And would our kids say if you asked them? On this episode we get pretty deep into our feelings about being the dads we think our kids need vs want.

We also play out your best toilet training disaster messages from last week's topic, and who has the better child butt wiping technique - Clint or Jordan? Let's settle it.

Oh and Clint's family has a gastro bug...yuck!!

Every parent either has or will go through the toilet training process, and we're not sure anything can really prepare you for it! Jordan has successfully done it three times, and Clint's done it twice, so let's talk about it! We will share our horror stories, and compare notes.

There are some tips in here, but it's really up to you whether you take them. Warning - there's a lot of butt-wiping chat in this week's ep...

This episode of TPH is a bit different. We had so many great responses from you guys about weird and wonderful discipline techniques your parent used on you that we have to revisit it, and play them out. There is some absolute gold in here, plus the usual run down on this week of dad-life from Clint and Jordan. Enjoy!
