The Parenting Hangover

We have some sad news...this is the final episode of The Parenting Hangover. It's been an incredibly fun and rewarding journey, but all good things must come to an end, and this is ours. Thank you from the bottom of our big dad-hearts for all of your support, feedback and listens. Connecting with other parents about this crazy parenting thing has been a huge privilege. You can keep up with both of us on our socials @howtodadnz and @clinstagramm Love you xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clint's put himself up as a prize at the school gala, but will anyone bid? Jordan recalls his prolific rugby career and teaches us all some core skills. Do we remember our childhood better than it was because there's very little video footage of it to prove otherwise? And Clint needs to make a decision about the dog.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another 2 weeks of looking after your own kids 24/7 is done and dusted! So let'd catch up. Clint's thinking about getting a dog, Jordan is losing weight and getting ripped, Clint gets a great compliment from a listener, Mila is too good at touch rugby and needs humbling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You guys are the stars of the pod this week. Jordan has taken over the inboxes and has found feedback on a bunch of TPH topics. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've been here before, but like everything to do with parenting, it needs revisiting over and over to drive it home. Should an 11 year old have a cell phone? We say no, but Jordan's daughter thinks otherwise. Let's hash it out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is the hardest age to parent? From infants to teens, every age and stage has it's own unique challenges, but Jordan believes he is in the hardest part right now. Do you agree, or is it only going to get harder from here?? Plus - try explaining to a curios 12 year old what a "gob gob" is...eek.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time for one Dad on this pod to have the dreaded puberty conversation with one of his daughters. Jordan explains to us how he is handling (or not handling) it, and what he finds most challenging! We also compare it to how we experienced puberty conversations growing up - thank goodness things have changed! Plus we catch up on Father's day, and Clint's never-ending concussion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How did Clint get his concussion, and why did it make nationwide news here in NZ?? Plus, not to be outdone, Jordan has his own concussion story AND his own big secret to share!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Better late than never - we have had some technical and physical issues this week. Jordan was at the snow with no coverage, and Clint concussed himself walking into a lamppost on the school run (more on that next week...) THIS WEEK Clint has a big secret to reveal - a decision him and Lucy have made for the sake of their marriage and family. Will Jordan judge, or accept? And is this the right idea for your family too??See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The most important day in the Dad calendar behind, of course, Christmas, your birthday, the kid's birthday, and maybe his own birthday. What do dads REALLY want for fathers day? The answer may be simpler (and cheaper) than you think... Plus some amazing ideas for the Dad olympics and a terrifying revelation about taking your kids out of school for trips away.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Grim, we know but death is as much a part of life as life itself, so let's have a chat about it now before we have to. We have both had to explain to curious young minds the process of death and funerals (Clint as recently as last week), so this week we will talk abut how we do it, and what the experts say. Enjoy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

*Warning - Bad Language Not For Small Ears* We wanted to share a brand-new podcast from iHeartRadio with you! The Montoyas is hosted but Rugby League player Marcelo Montoya and his hilarious wife Tayla as they lift the lid on their marriage.  If you like what you hear, follow the podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. Follow: @themontoyaspodcast on TikTok and Instagram About the Podcast: Rugby League star Marcelo Montoya is a clean freak who makes sure everything in his life is ”just so”. His wife Tayla thrives on annoying her husband with her form of hilarious disorder, constantly keeping him on his toes. Once they start talking, the conversation could end up anywhere.     Join in as The Montoya’s lift the curtain on the life and relationship of Aussie imports assimilating into New Zealand as a newly married couple. Think Keeping Up with the Kardashians crossed with Modern Family and tune in for the podcast you never knew you needed.  About The Hosts: Tayla Montoya is an ex-cheerleader, and current radio producer for Jono and Ben on The Hits. Her roots are from a large Italian Australian family, with all the passion and fire that comes with that. Most importantly, she is like that friend at the BBQ that is constantly surprising the group with a new questionable take,  internet-based obsession or just something to annoy her husband. Marcelo Montoya is a Fijian Australian professional rugby league player and brings insight into what it actually means to be a professional sportsman. He is a little bit bogan, and a whole lot of a perfectionist. He strives for everything in his life to be centered and deliberate so he can perform at the highest level, while contending with his wife’s need to try and throw him off balance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Olympics are on and it's a great way to get your kids hyped on sport and show them what's possible if they put their mind to something. This week we discuss how we use the Olympics as a teaching tool, and we invent some sports for parents - 400m Shoulder Ride anyone??? ------------------------------------ www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover  |  @howtodadnz  |  @clintstagramm  |  @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover  |  @howtodadnz  |  @clintstagrammSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back after our school holiday break with a BIG milestone on the pod this week - one of our girls has started primary school. Jordan is hustling hard on Facebook Marketplace to get an entire family load of gear to save money with DAD MATH. Clint has a question about the different language we use with girls and boys and Jordan's dad is on his O.E (in his late 60's) ENJOY!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After an incredibly emotional week of parenting and milestones, we've made a decision - Jordan and I are having a baby. That's all we can tell you. You'll have to listen to the full podcast to hear how. ------------------------------------ www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover  |  @howtodadnz  |  @clintstagramm  |  @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover  |  @howtodadnz  |  @clintstagrammSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Look it's a tricky one. Mums do soooo much, and their bodies go through more than we dads can ever imagine, we all agree on that. But as dads, are we allowed to be tired too? Or is parenting a never ending competition to see who is the tired-est? Also Jordan has hearing aids now, and we are so dumb, we f**ked up our big mens health week test results last week... ------------------------------------ www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover  |  @howtodadnz  |  @clintstagramm  |  @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover  |  @howtodadnz  |  @clintstagrammSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we tackle (pun intended) the topic of the stuff your kids wanna do outside of school hours, because it can be a lot, especially if you've got multiple kids! Somehow, this also becomes a "what health problems does Clint have" episode too. We try to solve snoring OH AND JORDAN HAS A BIG VASECTOMY ANNOUNCEMENT! Enjoy. ------------------------------------ www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover  |  @howtodadnz  |  @clintstagramm  |  @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover  |  @howtodadnz  |  @clintstagrammSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's men's health week here in New Zealand so this week we are having a frank discussion about how we look after ourselves as dads, and what we could do better. Do we go to the doctor enough, and why are we so weird about anything to do with butts?? It's a fairly honest and revealing chat - hopefully it's not TMI... www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover  |  @howtodadnz  |  @clintstagramm  |  @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover  |  @howtodadnz  |  @clintstagrammSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kids, phones and online safety is a big issue. So we’ve just dropped a special episode exploring the topic.  We talk with Rory Birkbeck of Safe Surfer, the NZ charity making it safer for kids to access the internet, about the issues and challenges of kids and phones. It’s collaboration with Samsung and their new kid-safe phone helping kids stay connected and safe online at the same time.  www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover  |  @howtodadnz  |  @clintstagramm  |  @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover  |  @howtodadnz  |  @clintstagrammSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jordan is back from a week long family holiday to beautiful Fiji! So he's gunna talk us through the do's and do-not's of tropical travel with kids. Plus how much praise about his spiffy new outfit can one dad take? We're about to find out...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
