Two Doting Dads with Matty J & Ash

Matt's on the brink after a house full of nits and a swimming lesson that never happened. He's also discovered that entertaining a baby is a lot harder than it looks after realising he has no idea how to play with Poppy.
Despite being sick, Ash has loaded up on vitamins and is ready to vent, starting with the ever-growing list of foods Oscar has decided he's scared of.
Plus, the annoying things kids do that are actually signs you're nailing parenting, and the parenting faux pas Matt says you'll regret if you don't avoid it.

Confession: we thought we knew how periods worked. We absolutely did not.
This week we're getting a proper education from Jackie from The Nourished Cycle.
She schools us on every stage of the menstrual cycle including why we really need to know when the luteal phase is, why PMS isn't as simple as we've been led to believe and how we can better prepare our daughters for when that first period arrives.
There were plenty of genuine mind-blown moments in this one and whether you're raising daughters, living with a woman or just wondering how you've made it this far without knowing any of this, you'll walk away with a whole new understanding.
Plus exactly what tools you'll want to keep in your family's sanitary tool kit.
If you'd like to follow or get in touch with Jackie you can find her here.

Ash is sick, in denial that school holidays have started and has a newfound respect for every woman who's ever had an epidural after seeing the size of that needle.
Meanwhile, Matt's just landed from the Gold Coast and is already off to Bali (must be nice), but not before spiralling over the family plane seating plan.
The guys tackle the screen time debate, why parents might be getting pocket money all wrong, the canteen gossip that's draining your wallet, and why a dad settling a baby in public gets a standing ovation while mums don't even get eye contact.

Ash's sick, so naturally the episode goes completely off the rails.
This week we're discussing the deeply concerning music our kids know all the words to, whether there's an acceptable playlist for sex (and just how much mood lighting is too much), plus a Doter Hack from a listener who's found a genius way to get the kids out the door in the morning.
Then we tackle the debate that's got parents arguing online: should a dad have used the women's toilets to help his young daughters?
It's a bit of a mixed bag this week... but so is parenting.

This week, Ash takes Oscar on a trip to make some core memories which might just earn him Dad of the Year.
Meanwhile, Matt is trying to avoid kicking off another sibling rivalry while celebrating Marlie's birthday, but one very unimpressed child isn't exactly sold on the entertainment.
Plus the boys settle the debate on Australia's favourite biscuit, say goodbye to one of our OG listeners and finally retire one of the worst nappy bags we've ever seen (sorry, Vic).
And Ash has a new book! You can preorder it here
