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.

Ash is having a rough week. Not only is he battling a toothache, but it also cost him a shot at some much-needed romance.

He's also got an all-time "poonami" story after literally following his nose to discover one of his kids was hiding a nasty surprise.

Meanwhile, Matt is flying solo on parenting duties and soaking up all the praise, while testing what he believes is a groundbreaking parenting hack - strategically offloading his kids onto families they meet at the park.

Plus, the boys go head-to-head on a parenting debate that divides plenty of families: is it actually good for kids to sleep in your bed?

And more smart parenting hacks from the Doters who really are some of the smartest parents going around.

This Men's Health Week (from June 15), we're turning the spotlight onto dads. Because when's the last time you asked a new father how he's really doing?

Findings from Movember's More Than A Provider report reveal that 1 in 5 dads feel more isolated or lonely since having kids. The study also found that fathers are 2–3 times more likely to experience mental health challenges than the average man.

In this episode, the boys sit down with Dr Zac Seidler — a clinical psychologist, leading men's mental health researcher, and new dad himself — to unpack what men are really going through behind closed doors.

The conversation explores the identity shift that comes with fatherhood, the challenges many dads face in staying connected, and why simple things like sport, friendship and community can have such a profound impact on men's wellbeing, relationships and longevity.

It’s a raw, honest and incredibly important chat that every parent (mum or dad) can take something from.

A huge thank you to Movember for the incredible work they do supporting men's health and for helping make this important conversation possible.

If you're struggling and need to speak with someone immediately, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467. If you're ever worried that someone's life is in immediate danger, call 000 or go directly to emergency services.
