It's another Housekeeping episode and the boys are tackling one of parenting's toughest questions: should footy ever come before fatherhood?

Matty reveals he's been flying solo while Laura and Nanna are away, so Vic suggests a little "tandem parenting" to help get through the chaos.

Meanwhile, Ash's snack monster tendencies strike again, this time putting Oscar's birthday lolly bags in serious jeopardy.

Plus, the boys weigh in on the latest breaking news from the pram parking front.

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.

The Nona Dilemma: Kissing Strangers' Kids

Plane Seat Selection Anxiety

Buffet Hacks and Tackle Boxes

Matt's 5 Star Feet

The Breadwinner Dilemma

Navigating Daycare Sickness

Matt's back from Bali and he's got beef... with the nonnas of this country, who apparently think it's fine to kiss children they've never met in airport elevators. Ash also unveiled the greatest travel hack of all time: April's buffet tackle box, a Kmart special that's fed the family for an entire holiday.

Matt and Ash also weigh in on the great plane seat debate, why the red-eye flight home is a rookie error, and whether telling your kids the screens are "broken" counts as good parenting (it does).

Plus, a Par-Rant about car park vultures circling mid-nappy-change, whether you're a good parent if all you do is bring home the money, and the daycare sickness dilemma splitting one very pregnant listener.

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.

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.
