Dad Hard With A Podcast

YES WE ARE FINALLY BACK AND IT IS THE PREMIERE OF SEASON 3 OF DAD HARD WITH A PODCAST!!!!!In this 2 part season premiere we do a deep dive into the flip of the switch that happens when your child turns 2 - because that switch flips REAAAAAAAL FAST BELIEVE ME!!!In part 1 we discuss the age old classification of turning 2..... THE TERRIBLE TWOS!!! What is it about turning two that causes our kids to be so difficult? In these 2 months of reflection I feel that it's the first time a child WANTS more than he/she NEEDS - at least in their minds. In the words of the Rolling Stones, "you can't always get what you want" but when it comes to two year olds, that means you're getting tantrums, tears and a weeee bit of terror!

It's week 55 of #Dadding and since turning 1 my daughter is putting together two things that are very frightening...... a larger vocabulary and communicating not wanting to do things. I'm in trouble!In this week's guest segment I sit down with a truly awesome dude. He's a director, punk rock musician, avid lover of hip hop and published writer of 2 dad books - "Diaper Dude" & "From Dude to Dad: The Diaper Dude Guide to Pregnancy" - Frank Meyer. We chat about his dad books, what it's like for his daughter going into her senior year of high school ONLINE, taking her to see KISS at 3 years old and being down to sit at the kids' table at stiff parties. The dude is awesome and it's a super fun convo. As always to connect on the #FatherhoodBrotherhood shoot us an email DadHardPod@gmail.com. Follow the IG @DadHardPod.
