DOD84: Potty Train, CHOO CHOO Sep 28, 2023

Show notes

Tom didn't write the title because he treats the word "potty" like one of his exes. Doesn't exist. Anyway, POTTY TRAININGGGGGG! Eli is starting Max on potty training so we all reminisce.

DOD83: Self-Defense II Sep 22, 2023

Show notes

So this is a return to a conversation, because Thomas spoke to Lydia about the self-defense and carrying a weapon discussion and the Smiths have a completely different view than the other dads on this one. PLUS, no, the US is NOT the 10th most dangerous nation for women... For extended episodes, bonus content, and most importantly, for an AD FREE SHOW, make sure to pledge on Patreon!

DOD82: The Neurospice of Life Sep 15, 2023

Show notes

After disclosing some serious friendship-ending habits, Eli shares breaking news and the dads discuss processing diagnoses and not-diagnoses, as well as navigating resources and advocating for their kids. Also, Tom regularly pulls the Mean Girls conference call tactic with insurance companies and healthcare providers. BUT IT WORKS.

DOD81: Should We Teach Our Kids Self-Defense? Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

Tom's son recently asked him to teach him to fight. That's definitely a lot for any dad to process, and brings up a whole host of questions and thoughts and feelings. The dads work through some of that, and also Eli tells us about his nunchucks.

Tools! The Toms love em! Eli is also here! Let's talk tool talk and talk man stuff tool talk. Tools. Hammer.

DOD79: Bragging About Your Kids Aug 31, 2023

Show notes

Tom's ice skate tying debacle from the bonus story last episode (make sure you are a patron so you don't miss these!) inspired a whole episode. Is bragging about your kids good? Bad? What qualifies as bragging? How much kid talk is too much?

DOD78: Gentle Parenting Versus... Not That Aug 25, 2023

Show notes

Let's talk authoritarian parents. The Toms probably had them. Eli definitely didn't. Is it bad? What's gentle parenting and why does it mean Eli has lost several eyes and a couple noses to Max attacks? Is he going to stick with it or explode under the emotional pressure? This one also features a HILARIOUS bonus story. Don't miss it, pledge on Patreon today!

DOD77: This Dads Is Not Yet Rated Aug 23, 2023

Show notes

Today the dads continue the discussion of what media is appropriate for our kids. Rated R movies? Sexual content? Violence? Horror? Just pure crap that sucks?

DOD76: The Crap Our Kids Watch Aug 18, 2023

Show notes

How much should we police or try to influence the stuff our kids watch? Terrible YouTube videos, video game streamers, awful tv shows... Should we seek to influence their tastes? Should we protect them from bad content?

DOD75: How Many Pots Have You Smoken Aug 11, 2023

Show notes

This is your dear old dads on drugs. How will you approach drugs and alcohol with your kids? Will you completely ban everything or will you be their dealer or something in between?
