Kevin welcomes expectant dad & NBC News Reporter Kent Erdahl to explore the realities of bringing a new life into the world in the midst of a global pandemic.

This is the first of DILF's new ongoing series on first-time dads, we invite on dads-to-be to provide the often too-rare opportunity to explore feelings on pending fatherhood.

The goal is to allow veteran parents to nostalgically revisit the infancy of their own parental concerns and the chance to check-in with themselves on how far they've come, while offering the freedom to expectant dads to release some of that pressure that most of us never had the opportunity to explore - a forum that every modern parent truly deserves and honestly needs...

DILF Challenge :: The Grandparent Hokey Pokey

As parents, we have a lot to balance with trying to get work done while finding ways to occupy our kids... these are crazy times! Yet in our struggles, many of us have forgotten about a large group of parents who are also struggling: OUR parents. But, what if we could find five minutes in our day to lift OUR parents’ spirits while giving them a reason to get up and dance!

Last week, we video chatted with my parents at around 4pm in the afternoon. They were both in bed, had been all day. And although they were excited to talk to their grandson, they were simultaneously glued to their bed and the tv news. And then my 18m son requested a song, but my mom singing apathetically from bed didn't exactly do the trick and he got a bit bored. SO, I suggested a little Hokey Pokey, and my dad leaped at the chance to entertain his grandson. And as he got into the dance, so did my son... And as my son laughed, so did my dad. It was a beautiful moment. And then we convinced my mom to do the same, so she begrudgingly got out of bed... but as she sang and danced, once again, HER spirits began to lift as my son laughed and danced along. Once we were done, we decided to call my wife's parents to request the same. Sure enough, the same thing happened. As each of my son's grandparents got up to entertain their grandson, they also got some much needed physical exercise, as well as an opportunity to lift their endorphins and their day...and that gave me an idea.

Isn’t it time we had a simple 'challenge' that an older generation can participate in, that can provide a little physical exercise while lifting everyone's spirits for short while. This isn't about nominating your friends or going viral, this Is about lifting your parents' day during this lockdown, helping them to stay healthy and active while spreading some love. And who couldn’t use a little more of that right now...

Connection (DILF's Co-Parenting Series)

3 Recommendations

Let’s just call it out - finding ways to CONNECT with another human being is not always easy, but sustaining a true connection with your partner once the weight and responsibilities of children have entered the picture can be especially difficult.

In this episode, Kevin once again welcomes his wife, Laura Seldon to discuss strategies on how to stay connected post-kids, while exploring the following controversial theory:

What if we were to think of this pandemic as less of a catastrophe that created major problems in the world, and more of a beacon that shined a bright spotlight on already existing problems throughout the globe, and for many of us... in our own homes. If we can find ways to be our best selves and work to form true connections with our partners during all this chaos, then we can survive anything — it's atleast worth exploring...
