This week it's back to the crazy, beautiful chaos of parenting and the boys feel like they're in the wild west where it's every parent for themselves.

Matt stumbles into a kids' fight club at the cinema and is wondering where the f*** are all the parents!? 

Meanwhile Ash thinks Oscar has signed up to some sort of playground premier league.

And the boys discuss why kids are so obsessed with bandaids and when we all need to stop being nude in front of them.

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.

#217 The Biggest Parenting Stitch Up Of All Time

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/748e9ff5-c23e-4af2-919e-b42b00bb7816/transcript

Ash went on an adults only holiday and accidentally booked himself into a very questionable hotel.

Meanwhile Matt's recovering from a dramatic week after Laura's 40th and the death of his neighbour.

Ash is suspicious that both events occurred in the same week.

The boys have a LOL about whether or not sausages belong in the lunchbox and Matt's daughter has created a book about their family pet - cute story but let's just say the title needs a bit of work.

#216 An "Adults Only" Error

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/85616fb5-4836-4427-a291-b42400d0dd78/transcript

Today's guest is a former detective who spent ten years on the force interviewing kids - so she knows everything there is to know about keeping them safe.

Kristi McVee is also a mum, so she knows how hard it can be getting kids to tell us anything!

So she's got some great advice and even a card game to help kids to start thinking about their safety and how to open up to us about it.

We all love our kids but we might not always know how best to protect them - well in this chat, Kristi shows us how we can arm our kids with the best tools to stay safe from now until adulthood.

You can get in touch with Kristi here.

Or buy her child body safety cards here.
