This time they weigh in to the great debate over whether or not you should discipline other people's kids.

Plus the kids' movies that left them traumatised for years to come.

Two Doting Dads is a podcast series that follows the parenting escapades of two good mates, Matty J and Ash Wicks. Like all good modern relationships, they met on Instagram and instantly bonded over the fact that they were both sleep-deprived Dads doing their best to dote over their two children. They share a very laid-back style to parenting, they don't pretend to be experts and they celebrate every single parenting mishap (which there are plenty). If you're listening for parenting advice, you've come to the wrong podcast.

#205 The Great Birthday Party Mistake

We know, we know - we said we'd never give advice.

But our inbox has been heaving with questions from mums & dads begging for advice and we started to think, with five kids between us and two hundred eps under our belt we do know a thing or two about parenting. 

So we're opening the floodgates, starting with a new dad who desperately wants to know if there is light at the end of the tunnel while in the thick of those sleepless newborn nights. 

Plus Ash reveals there's something strange keeping him and Macy up at night at the moment. 

And Matty shares the chaos of Lola's first week at school.

#204 So We're Giving Advice Now

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/2054877e-fd4d-4f92-89b9-b3ec0098d34e/transcript

You might recognise Matty Fahd from his 17 seasons on Gogglebox, but he's also a father-of-two caught up with the boys during a long week of solo-parenting while Sarah is away.

Matty opens up about how he was raised, how it's affected his parenting style, how he gave away his adrenaline-junky lifestyle after having kids and the anxiety he faces as a parent of two boys.

Matty admits while he might not have height on his side, he has a big heart and some larger than life stories to tell.

#203 - Matty Fahd + Matty J + Ash

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/3844a92a-3dce-4132-9664-b3e9009628d0/transcript

School is finally back and the boys have dragged their tired dad-bods to the finish line.

Their trick? The path of least resistance... and the guys admit they've been letting their kids get away with whatever gets them through the day.

Ash got sucked into buying flowers for Macy while Matt agreed to let Marlie busk on the street - but with the kids now out of their hair, the boys have time to answer some important parenting questions.

What is the rule regarding pool toys that are left on the side of the public pool - Matt has some strong opinions after an awkward moment in Noosa.

And what is the etiquette when it comes to pulling out of kids' birthday parties, Ash almost had the best excuse of his life before the council stepped in and saved the day.

Plus the boys take a look back at their sex education class in highschool and where their knowledge of women went horribly wrong.

It's another loose episode that'll keep you laughing all the way to work/drop-off/the coffee shop.
