In this week’s Dad Life episode, we dive into the gamer dad dilemma—what happens when you're clued-up on games, but your partner sees only the worst-case scenarios?

As dads who game, we often understand how to set up content filters, disable online chat, limit exposure to violence, and stay clear of inappropriate themes. But sometimes, our non-gamer partners see a trailer, title, or cover art and understandably worry about what the...

This week’s Dad Life episode tackles a tricky topic: lying.

While it can sometimes be used to avoid conflict or protect a surprise, lying can quickly become a negative habit—especially in our kids. We talk about the difference between harmless white lies and damaging dishonesty, and how we as dads can guide our kids to be truthful without making them afraid to talk to us.

We explore:

  • 🤥 Why kids lie (and why we sometimes do to...

This week’s Dad Life episode dives into the world of parenting styles, and in particular, we’re unpacking the growing interest in what’s being called Type C Parenting.

You’ve probably heard of Type A parents—highly structured, achievement-driven, and often a bit intense with routines and expectations. Then there’s Type B—more laid-back, go-with-the-flow, and relaxed in their approach.

But Type C? That’s something different.
