In this wide-ranging conversation, host Emily Hessney Lynch talks to Brendan Dabkowski, a freelance writer & editor, adjunct professor, and father of two. We explore what it was like for Brendan and his wife to have their second child during the COVID pandemic after moving to a new city, childcare struggles, screentime shame, and parent guilt. We also discuss joyful things like taking long bike rides with your kid and adding a new kitten to the family!
