Daddies Overnight

We share the story from a dummy confession from a completely exhausted listener nearly poisoning their child, because apparently sleep deprivation and juggling all things parenting really does turn your brain to mush! We’re also getting into the debate around gentle parenting and asking whether a generation of new parents has become too scared to say no, set boundaries or simply… parent?! Are we all just massive pushovers now? (We shouldn't have got Ryan started on this topic lol!) Plus, we open up about our experience with night terrors, what they're like to witness as parents, and the things nobody prepares you for when you have children.New episodes to watch and listen to EVERY Tuesday.WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN DUMMY CONFESSIONS?📩 Send us your most embarrassing or funny confession in a DM to our Instagram or send your voice note to [email protected] Or find us at @daddiesovernight on socials, and don't forget you can WATCH the episode on YouTube or Apple PodcastsTwo husbands.

For the first time ever, we’re joined by a guest on Daddies Overnight! (We are literally SO excited!) This week, we’re joined by the amazing Daisy AKA Muddle Through Mummy! She's a mum of two, creator and fellow parent navigating the chaos, laughs and questionable decisions that we all know come with raising kids. We’re getting into the parenting choices we probably shouldn’t admit to, the things that might have the almond mums reaching for their keyboards, and the never ending Type A vs Type B parent debate (we probably offended her during this debate as our first guest too) Are some parenting rules taken a little too seriously? Are we too relaxed? And just how many “bad” parenting choices are we willing to confess to? 👀 Welcome to the first ever Daddies Overnight guest episode! ❤️New episodes to watch and listen to EVERY Tuesday.WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN DUMMY CONFESSIONS?📩 Send us your most embarrassing or funny confession in a DM to our Instagram or send your voice note to [email protected]://www.instagram.com/daddiesovernight/📲 Or find us at @daddiesovernight on socials, and don't forget you can WATCH the episode on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@daddiesovernightTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daddiesovernightTwo husbands.

We’re back for SEASON 2 (woo!)... and A LOT has changed since we last recorded. Before we get started, we can't thank everyone who messaged us about the podcast coming back enough. We decided we should share the real reason we disappeared. We’re catching up on life with a toddler, tantrums, sex education, whether kids should be allowed to swear, and all the chaos in between. We're so happy to be back, so welcome back!New episodes to watch and listen to EVERY Tuesday.WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN DUMMY CONFESSIONS?📩 Send us your most embarrassing or funny confession in a DM to our Instagram or send your voice note to [email protected]://www.instagram.com/daddiesovernight/📲 Or find us at @daddiesovernight on socials, and don't forget you can WATCH the episode on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@daddiesovernightTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daddiesovernightTwo husbands.

A question that’s been quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) on our minds - should we have another baby? And if so... when? We talk honestly about the constant back and forth of whether to adopt again now, wait a little longer, or if our family might already be complete. It’s a bigger emotional decision than we expected, and we’re definitely feeling the pressure of “is there ever a right time?” It's time to also dive into our experiences visiting nurseries for our son the last few weeks, including a few that just didn’t feel right. From gut instincts to unexpected doubts. And of course… we couldn’t end the episode without a bit of a debate. Our dummy confession this week might divide opinions - should people be allowed to kiss your child? Where do you draw the line?New episodes to watch and listen to EVERY Tuesday.WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN DUMMY CONFESSIONS?📩 Send us your most embarrassing or funny confession in a DM to our Instagram or send your voice note to [email protected]://www.instagram.com/daddiesovernight/📲 Or find us at @daddiesovernight on socials, and don't forget you can WATCH the episode on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@daddiesovernightTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daddiesovernightTwo husbands.

This week we’re feeling… old. Like, suddenly questioning 'what on earth has happened to us' old. Has parenthood aged us overnight, or is Ryan just fully entering his post adoption midlife crisis era? We talk about the strange identity shift that comes with becoming parents, the unexpected emotions that hit even when everything is “going well,” and why it sometimes feels like we’ve lost a version of ourselves along the way. We also get into Coachella FOMO (because apparently that version of us still exists somewhere), and share the reality of our recent family holiday, which was a lot harder than we expected. From missing our son while literally being with him, to navigating parent guilt and the emotional rollercoaster of stepping away for work.
