The Parenting Hangover
The Parenting Hangover with “How to Dad” Jordan Watson and ZM’s Clint Roberts. New episodes every Thursday. Parenting isn't easy. It's all sorts of good, bad and ugly. At times you really don't want to be told by anyone else 'how to be a parent' but instead hear that others are struggling along just like you. Well, you're in the right place. We are Clint and Jordan, two dads who are definitely not parenting experts. We're wingin' it just like you. We'll share the funny, crazy, chaos and the bits that make it all worthwhile. We're all running on a lack of sleep, fighting through this Parenting Hangover. https://www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @Theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm | @iheartradionz Tiktok: @Theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm
Episodes
We have some sad news...this is the final episode of The Parenting Hangover. It's been an incredibly fun and rewarding journey, but all good things must come to an end, and this is ours.
Thank you from the bottom of our big dad-hearts for all of your support, feedback and listens. Connecting with other parents about this crazy parenting thing has been a huge privilege.
You can keep up with both of us on our socials @howtodadnz and ...
Clint's put himself up as a prize at the school gala, but will anyone bid? Jordan recalls his prolific rugby career and teaches us all some core skills. Do we remember our childhood better than it was because there's very little video footage of it to prove otherwise? And Clint needs to make a decision about the dog.

Another 2 weeks of looking after your own kids 24/7 is done and dusted! So let'd catch up. Clint's thinking about getting a dog, Jordan is losing weight and getting ripped, Clint gets a great compliment from a listener, Mila is too good at touch rugby and needs humbling.

You guys are the stars of the pod this week. Jordan has taken over the inboxes and has found feedback on a bunch of TPH topics.

We've been here before, but like everything to do with parenting, it needs revisiting over and over to drive it home. Should an 11 year old have a cell phone? We say no, but Jordan's daughter thinks otherwise. Let's hash it out.

What is the hardest age to parent? From infants to teens, every age and stage has it's own unique challenges, but Jordan believes he is in the hardest part right now. Do you agree, or is it only going to get harder from here??
Plus - try explaining to a curios 12 year old what a "gob gob" is...eek.

It's time for one Dad on this pod to have the dreaded puberty conversation with one of his daughters. Jordan explains to us how he is handling (or not handling) it, and what he finds most challenging! We also compare it to how we experienced puberty conversations growing up - thank goodness things have changed!
Plus we catch up on Father's day, and Clint's never-ending concussion.

How did Clint get his concussion, and why did it make nationwide news here in NZ?? Plus, not to be outdone, Jordan has his own concussion story AND his own big secret to share!

Better late than never - we have had some technical and physical issues this week. Jordan was at the snow with no coverage, and Clint concussed himself walking into a lamppost on the school run (more on that next week...)
THIS WEEK Clint has a big secret to reveal - a decision him and Lucy have made for the sake of their marriage and family. Will Jordan judge, or accept? And is this the right idea for your family too??

The most important day in the Dad calendar behind, of course, Christmas, your birthday, the kid's birthday, and maybe his own birthday. What do dads REALLY want for fathers day? The answer may be simpler (and cheaper) than you think...
Plus some amazing ideas for the Dad olympics and a terrifying revelation about taking your kids out of school for trips away.

Grim, we know but death is as much a part of life as life itself, so let's have a chat about it now before we have to.
We have both had to explain to curious young minds the process of death and funerals (Clint as recently as last week), so this week we will talk abut how we do it, and what the experts say.
Enjoy!

The Olympics are on and it's a great way to get your kids hyped on sport and show them what's possible if they put their mind to something. This week we discuss how we use the Olympics as a teaching tool, and we invent some sports for parents - 400m Shoulder Ride anyone???

We're back after our school holiday break with a BIG milestone on the pod this week - one of our girls has started primary school. Jordan is hustling hard on Facebook Marketplace to get an entire family load of gear to save money with DAD MATH. Clint has a question about the different language we use with girls and boys and Jordan's dad is on his O.E (in his late 60's)
ENJOY!

After an incredibly emotional week of parenting and milestones, we've made a decision - Jordan and I are having a baby. That's all we can tell you. You'll have to listen to the full podcast to hear how.

Look it's a tricky one. Mums do soooo much, and their bodies go through more than we dads can ever imagine, we all agree on that. But as dads, are we allowed to be tired too? Or is parenting a never ending competition to see who is the tired-est?
Also Jordan has hearing aids now, and we are so dumb, we f**ked up our big mens health week test results last week...

This week we tackle (pun intended) the topic of the stuff your kids wanna do outside of school hours, because it can be a lot, especially if you've got multiple kids! Somehow, this also becomes a "what health problems does Clint have" episode too. We try to solve snoring OH AND JORDAN HAS A BIG VASECTOMY ANNOUNCEMENT!
Enjoy.

It's men's health week here in New Zealand so this week we are having a frank discussion about how we look after ourselves as dads, and what we could do better. Do we go to the doctor enough, and why are we so weird about anything to do with butts??
It's a fairly honest and revealing chat - hopefully it's not TMI...

...Kids, phones and online safety is a big issue. So we’ve just dropped a special episode exploring the topic.
