Lara Pitt is a seasoned sports journalist at Fox Sports, covering the NRL, and a doting mum to three boys—Lachlan, Cooper, and Hamish.

She never expected motherhood to mean sharing her bed with all three boys every night!

In this episode, Lara opens up about her experience after giving birth for the first time, sharing the unexpected challenges she faced. Not only did she face the rollercoaster of postpartum, but Lara was also dealing with an undiagnosed Postpartum thyroiditis that made her feel like life was in turbo mode.

Plus, she dropped a surprise halfway through our chat, leaving Matt bright red!

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.

#91 Lara Pitt's Three Boys Won't Sleep In Their Own Beds

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/4eff2f68-9633-4149-9242-b1e2002d450e/transcript

Matt has broken his pinky toe, and it turns out it's the one thing keeping the 38-year-old dad upright. He would like some sympathy, but no one is giving it to him. 

Ash has moved into what can only be described as an acreage—no, but he does have a big backyard. The new house is great, but there is only one little quirk, and that's the death drop at the end of the driveway.

Oh, and Matt takes the girls to the footy for the first time, but he's unsure whether they liked it or not - you be the judge!  

We've introduced a new segment called – Parenting Hack Or F*ck That

Plus, we tackle your questions!


Is it ok to leave your kid in the car when paying for petrol?


Has Matt had any fights with mum since she moved in?

After finally visiting the "tooth salesman", Ash gifts Matt a present that only a few have the honour of receiving. 

Matt has entered a new level of dad after accidentally shitting himself. He's also stumbled upon the ultimate spot that not only showers dads with praise but also provides peace and quiet time from the kids—the nail salon.

Plus, we tackle your questions!


Is it ok for your child to be in daycare clothes the night before to save morning time?


What are your thoughts on tracking your child?

It's Book Week: When parents either shine or hit their breaking point. 

Matt and Ash are the parents who almost hit their breaking point. 

Can someone tell me who decided to make it a week rather than a day?! 

Meanwhile, while all this is happening, Matt takes Marlie and Lola to their Fa's funeral and juggles the many confusing emotions that come with that.

After sharing that he needs a tooth extraction, Ash admits he doesn't have a will or health insurance! 

We've introduced a new segment called – Parenting Hack Or F*ck That

Plus, we tackle your questions!
Have you explained periods to your kids yet?
Is it okay to let your child do dangerous things but safely?
