Like My Father Before Me

Episode 15: 'Clubs'

There are so many clubs and activities out there - it's quite the field within which to navigate and invest in, but here [in Episode 15], we're talking through exactly that - clubs.

Episode 14: 'DIY'

Gah, the mounting job list that 'seemingly' only grows and never shortens. It's often difficult getting around to these DIY jobs with little people running about the place, aching for your attention of which they deserve.
We're talking a bit about this in this episode - the jobs we're currently knee-deep in, and the struggles of being the source of confidence to continue developing the family nest when you're forever time-poor.

Episode 13: 'Parties'

Oh the birthday parties - yours, theirs, and all the others.
We're sharing some of our experiences in this episode. Throw the bash at home? Or perhaps invest in a local centre to deal with the fallout?!
Dunno, the goal posts are forever changing.

Episode 12: 'Health'

Health. Vital. Obviously.
But with children included, we'd all love the opportunity to live long and healthy lives. This isn't always the case, and parenting will forever churn up the challenges of making sure that you - yourself - take care of... yourself.
In Episode 12 we attempt to chat along these lines.

Episode 11: 'Technology'

Like many aspects of parenting, 'Technology' can prove itself to be somewhat of a minefield - in this episode we attempt to cover some bases and discuss our experiences of introducing tech to kids.

Episode 10: ’Christmas’

So much magic still to enjoy - via and through your children, but Christmas is what it is, to you - and you only, and those close to you. It's full of the things you hope for, but also heartbreak too.
We're talking about this in episode 10, deep-diving into what Christmas looks like for us, and more importantly - what it 'means' to us.
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas holiday!

Episode 9: ’Books’

Reading a bedtime story [or reading any time for that matter] is a joyous connecting experience for both parent and child - even if you have read the same book a dizzying amount of times.
Here in episode 9 we're talking a little about that, and delving into our top five books that [somehow] have made it onto our list/s.

Episode 8: ’Holidays’

They should be full of relaxing pleasures, and they often are - but like many aspects of parenting, you have to 'work' to earn those moments.
And you'll likely still need a holiday after returning home a holiday :S
Here, we're discussing exactly this, and detailing some of the experience we've had in recent years.

Episode 7: ’Before’

In episode 7, we have a slightly retrospective look back at the thoughts and feelings during pregnancy, ahead of any arrival.
This is naturally an exciting and nervy time - it too can be littered with feelings that you may not have expected.
Oh the change during this period.

Episode 6: ’Bond’

We're exploring 'bond' in episode 6. Sometimes naturally found, other times this is unfortunately not the case.
We share some interesting and fun 'Dad-Hacks', including the "power-bomb" technique when assisting your child to hit the loo. It's a thing... promise! Listen and see.
Thanks for joining us, and we'll see you in the next one.
