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.

#236 Footy Before Fatherhood?

This week the guys sit down with the baby whisperer himself, Dr Golly, Baby Bunting's newest ambassador.

Dr Golly has spent the last 20 years as a paediatrician, but he said it was becoming a dad himself that gave him his biggest lessons in the job because he realised just how hard babies can and how much they can shake up the entire family dynamic.

So, for the past decade, he’s gone deep on baby sleep and helping families work out what to do when nobody’s sleeping.

This is a must-listen for any parent who’s ever stood over a sick kid at 2am wondering, “Do we need the hospital… or are we being dramatic?”

Plus, Dr Golly puts the guys through the ultimate mental load test to find out whether they’re actually sharing the load at home… or just think they are.

And Dr Golly is giving $20 off all his online courses, use promocode: 2DOTINGDADS20 expires 31/12/2026.

#254 Dr Golly & The Life-Saving Rule Every Parent Should Know 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/c4a2d123-2ea7-4abe-85b6-b4a70013ba39/transcript

This week, April leaves town and Ash quickly discovers how much she's holding the family operation together after the kids come dangerously close to burning the house down.

The guys admit they both use a questionable tactic to get the kids on side - in fact it could even be a parenting hack to use whenever things get desperate.

Meanwhile, Matt's battling parent guilt after his day alone with Poppy somehow turned into a struggle just to leave the house.

Plus, the guys declare war on ice packs. When did they become the cure for every minor inconvenience?

And more of your brilliant parenting lies, thanks to OMO. Because life with kids is messy enough already.

You can grab a copy of Ash's new book The Secret Ingredient here.

We know the guys say they don’t give advice… but that hasn’t stopped them from giving plenty of it in this episode.

It’s Doter Dilemma Monday and the questions are coming in hot - what to do when strangers try to touch your baby, how to navigate friendships when your the first to become a parent and whether babies have any business being in Business Class.

Three dilemmas. Several questionable opinions. Absolutely no qualifications. Enjoy!
