In this episode of Mum! Dad’s Got Another Tattoo, we take a look at how midlife messes with our perception of time. From mistaking 1989 for “about 20 years ago” to failing a nostalgia quiz worse than a GCSE German, we explore why the years are suddenly flying by. And what that does to your head. We dig into status symbols, midlife levelling up, and the fine line between self-improvement and full-blown crisis. Should you buy a Ferrari, a Rolex, or a road bike? Or maybe just stop posting your dinner? With reflections on fatherhood, biohacking, body image, and why you probably don’t need another espresso machine.
