This week the dads, Ger Gilroy, Dave McIntyre, Adrian Barry and Nathan Murphy, talk about the absence of sleep and why it is a proper form of torture. Also where do you stand on co-sleeping? The kicks to the face, the shouting in your face, the constant terror of being awoken by a head-butt from the crown of an alien life-form in your bed. Sounds awesome right? An anonymous but friendly listener also chastises us for our plans around going out to eat. We need to be more disciplined and make an effort, and stop allowing our kids to ruin our lives. Good advice or pie in the sky? There's a story of a week lost in school to a Covid test, a dysfunctional testing process and the grim reality that this is likely to be everyone's existence for the next few months as the coughs go around and around and around. Like Nirvana crooned - "pass it back and forth, from my mouth to yours..." That lyric may be misremembered but I'm blaming it on a lack of sleep. Dadcast also ponders the question about how much information is too much? What are the words and concepts to explain racism, Trump, Covid etc to your kids and how much should you shield them from?

Dadcast - Misadventures in parenting - S2 Ep17: Dadcast: Will people send their kids to school sick?
play

08/24/20 • 46 min

On this week's Dadcast, Nathan is all up for a bit of shame making it difficult for parents to send their kids to school. A SWAT team of shame. Also is a runny nose the definition of sick these days? Yikes. Dave and Ger are slowly learning to accept that perhaps the punishment beatings meted out by their larger siblings is just a part of growing up for young 'uns these days. It's a correspondence week this week on Dadcast, with Nathan, Ger and Dave answering some readers queries and listening intently to the continuing descriptions of the snip. Nathan also finally reveals the ingenious way he got a full refund from the hotel in Spain he'd recommended to everyone. It involves tempting fate a little and may hasten his decision to have his tubes tied, just in case. Loads of correspondence this week - join the party, we'd love to hear from you - you can email [email protected] or you can leave a review on iTunes here The Pod is also on twitter @dadcastpod From now on your weekly dose of misadventures in parenting will be brought to you by Cadbury Freddo Treasures, Discover the New Freddo Treasures, The Space Series with Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons and one surprise toy in every chest.

They f**k you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you. Dave was channeling his inner Philip Larkin and worrying his kids by worrying that they might worry. Confused? Don't worry, it'll all make sense. This week an expectant Dad wants to know will he suddenly not be lazy once the baby arrives, or is this it? Dave reveals that his kids were basically good sleepers so it's not going to be that hard, that doesn't go down really well. And our now weekly snip update suggests it's less painful than you might think. And we're back to scheduling. Adrian is tired and stressed by working at home and may need to make a distress call. Again. And the report of Nathan's holidays were so hot we had to use asbestos gloves.* Loads of correspondence this week - join the party, we'd love to hear from you - you can email [email protected] or you can leave a review on iTunes here The Pod is also on twitter @dadcastpod From now on your weekly dose of misadventures in parenting will be brought to you by Cadbury Freddo Treasures, Discover the New Freddo Treasures, The Space Series with Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons and one surprise toy in every chest. *they may have been lost in the mists of time too.
