What happens when a 12-year-old flips the script and interviews her dad about fatherhood? In this heartwarming Father's Day special, Lillie Greene turns the tables on her father Seth, diving deep into the lessons, challenges, and beautiful moments that define being a dad. In this touching Father's Day episode of Whinypaluza, Seth Greene takes over as guest host while his daughter Lillie conducts an intimate interview about fatherhood. From discussing the biggest parenting lessons to sharing favorite memories, this conversation reveals the authentic, unfiltered reality of father-daughter relationships. Seth opens up about learning patience, dealing with sleep deprivation, and the incredible journey of watching his children grow. The episode captures both the challenges and profound joys of parenting through the lens of a father who's learned that sometimes the best thing you can do is simply listen. 5 Key Takeaways ➤ Patience and kindness are foundational parenting skills - Seth emphasizes that learning to be patient and kind, rather than jumping in to solve every problem, has been one of his biggest growth areas as a father. ➤ Children's emotional states aren't always about you - One of the most important lessons for new dads is understanding that when children are upset, cranky, or difficult, it's often not about something the parent did wrong - they might just be tired, hungry, or stressed. ➤ Work-family balance requires intentional presence - Despite running multiple businesses, Seth has made it a priority to be home for dinner and attend virtually every important event in his children's lives over 18 years of parenting. ➤ Each child is unique and will surprise you - Even with previous parenting experience, Seth learned that each child is different and brings their own personality, energy, and challenges that require adapted approaches. ➤ The most rewarding moments are watching your children succeed and be happy - Seth's favorite part of being a dad is watching his children "crush it" at things they love, seeing them proud of themselves, and witnessing their growth as individuals. Notable Quotes from Seth Greene "I think the more I grow as a father that helps me as a leader, that helps me as a business owner, that helps me as a husband. I think that every lesson I learned at home is equally applicable to work and my relationships with other people." "Your kids are going to love you no matter what, and you will never be the same, and it's the most beautiful, magical thing you'll ever do." A Father's Day Message To all the dads listening - whether you're a new father just beginning this incredible journey, or a seasoned parent watching your children grow into amazing humans - remember that showing up is everything. Your presence, your patience, and your unconditional love create the foundation for your children's entire world. As Seth and Lillie remind us in this episode, it's not about being perfect; it's about being there, growing alongside your children, and never giving up on them or yourself. Happy Father's Day to all the dads who are doing their best, learning as they go, and loving fiercely every step of the way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Get comfortable with setting limits, even if your calendar protests. ➔ Anchor yourself with mindful breaks: Use simple pauses like breathing at red lights, enjoying lunch, or clarity breaks to slow your pace. ➔ Focus on one thing at a time: Multitasking may feel productive, but single-tasking leads to less stress and better results. ➔ Shift your time mindset: Remind yourself you have enough time for what matters. The kitchen doesn't need to be spotless every night, and the world won't end if your to-do list rolls over to tomorrow.
