Ash, father of the year, #1 doting dad, selfless carer of Macy and Oscar... has been dad-shamed. The crime you ask? Taking two marshmallows from his children's babycino. The inbox has been chockablock this week so we have a read of some of the messages sent in from listeners - including Christy who confirmed that her partner gets his heart rate up to 170 - 180bpm during sex. Not sure if we should be impressed of concerned for the welfare for Christy or her partner.

We also share your best Parenting Lies and have a crack at answering your parenting questions:
What's your advice for raising boys?
How do you navigate siblings fighting - or do you just let them sort it out themselves?

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.

Two Doting Dads with Matty J & Ash

I've Been DAD-SHAMED !!

Matt's on the brink after a house full of nits and a swimming lesson that never happened. He's also discovered that entertaining a baby is a lot harder than it looks after realising he has no idea how to play with Poppy.

Despite being sick, Ash has loaded up on vitamins and is ready to vent, starting with the ever-growing list of foods Oscar has decided he's scared of.

Plus, the annoying things kids do that are actually signs you're nailing parenting, and the parenting faux pas Matt says you'll regret if you don't avoid it.

#243 The Swimming Lesson That Broke Matt

Confession: we thought we knew how periods worked. We absolutely did not.

This week we're getting a proper education from Jackie from The Nourished Cycle.

She schools us on every stage of the menstrual cycle including why we really need to know when the luteal phase is, why PMS isn't as simple as we've been led to believe and how we can better prepare our daughters for when that first period arrives.

There were plenty of genuine mind-blown moments in this one and whether you're raising daughters, living with a woman or just wondering how you've made it this far without knowing any of this, you'll walk away with a whole new understanding.

Plus exactly what tools you'll want to keep in your family's sanitary tool kit.

If you'd like to follow or get in touch with Jackie you can find her here.

#242 The Period Education We Clearly Needed - With Jackie From The Nourished Cycle

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/21e09a3f-fc54-4570-899a-b47b00a70557/transcript

Ash is sick, in denial that school holidays have started and has a newfound respect for every woman who's ever had an epidural after seeing the size of that needle.

Meanwhile, Matt's just landed from the Gold Coast and is already off to Bali (must be nice), but not before spiralling over the family plane seating plan.

The guys tackle the screen time debate, why parents might be getting pocket money all wrong, the canteen gossip that's draining your wallet, and why a dad settling a baby in public gets a standing ovation while mums don't even get eye contact.
