This week, we sit down with a dad navigating the unique challenges of parenting from across the globe. From relying on scheduled phone calls to reconnecting at home and figuring out discipline from a distance, being away adds a whole new layer of complexity to parenting. We talk honestly about the struggles, the guilt, and the effort it takes to stay present when you can’t always be there.

This week, we’re talking about the never-ending battle for a clean house — and losing. Between constant crumbs, bottomless appetites, and toys that magically respawn, it feels like we’re living in a sitcom with no commercial breaks. Join us as we laugh through the mess, swap survival tips, and admit that sometimes, a lived-in house is a happy one.

In this episode, we dive into the wild world of screen time — the lifesaver, the babysitter, and the headache all rolled into one. We talk about the positives (hello, five minutes of peace), the struggles (cue the meltdowns when the tablet dies), and how we try to find that elusive balance between raising happy kids and not losing our sanity. Spoiler: we don’t always get it right.
