Do Ryan Reynolds and I have a lot in common?
Scroll down for your weekly dose of parenting support, with a dash of comedy thrown in for good measure.
Happy Saturday Dads!
We hope that, unlike us, you’ve been gifted a morning of peace and solitude. But for those unlucky souls currently settling in to binge-watch Cocomelon (Bluey if you’re lucky) for the next 3 hours, then we’re here for you.
Join us as we share some of the weird and wonderful delights of being a dad, that we’ve stumbled across in the last 7 days; I’d hazard a guess that most of which we’ve probably all experienced at one point in time.
Coming up…

Thanks for reading, and enjoy that beer once it finally comes.

2nd child woes
“Who here feels like their second born is doubly more argumentative, listens less and spiteful? Our first is no angel, but she responds well to correction and wants to please.

We hear you, and as one reddit commenter responded, “Oh man do I feel this. Some days I can't believe she's made it to 9 without us strangling her or us running off to the loony bin...”.

The Dad-Bod
Dad-bods are sexy, we all know that, regardless of what the surveys suggest.
