Two Doting Dads with Matty J & Ash

This week, the guys are back tackling your deepest, darkest Doting Dilemmas, kicking things off with an OG listener from across the ditch!
She wants to know how the bloody hell you get your son to stop sucking his thumb.
Plus, gender disappointment when you're expecting a baby, whether baby wipes are actually baby-proof, and the tricky question of when (if ever) it's okay to tell another parent they're not keeping a close enough eye on their child.
All the big questions. None of the easy answers.

The frequent flyer points are getting a workout, but Ash is finally back from yet another overseas escape before announcing he's heading back overseas again next week! Seriously, what are we up to now, #4 or #5?
Meanwhile Matt also has some big news that could see him tick off his New Year's resolution just in the nick of time.
Plus, he's discovered something that REALLY turns Laura on, so he'll be booking tickets to it every week, while Ash has a holiday epiphany about his little boy growing up,
And the guys have a brand new segment, but does it have legs? You'll have to listen and be the judge!

This week, the guys sit down with CEO and founder Keira Rumble, who opens up about the journey to becoming a mum and why getting pregnant was only the beginning of the battle.
From infertility struggles and a difficult pregnancy to a postpartum fog that lasted two years, Keira holds nothing back about the realities of her motherhood journey, the impact on her mental health and finding her way back to the light.
It's raw, honest and deeply moving, with plenty of love for the two beautiful kids who made it all worthwhile.

Get ready to RAGE, because the guys are absolutely fed up with everything this week.
Car parks, nosy neighbours, construction sites, ChatGPT, their own kids… nothing is safe. Matt is feeling guilty about teaching his kids something stupid, while Ash is ready to take matters into his own hands with flyers for inconsiderate drivers. Subtle.
Plus, the guys debate whether men or women experience more pain, explain why Laura is the true hero of the household, and discover how to turn your kids’ little rhymes into a song that’ll have them dancing around the living room.
Basically, everyone's annoying them. Including themselves.

This week, Matt confesses to something he’s deeply uncomfortable with: using a public toilet when someone’s in the next cubicle. Thankfully, Ash has some sound (and mildly disgusting) advice to help him get through it.
And if you thought the toilet chat ended there, you clearly haven’t been listening to this podcast. Today’s Doter Dilemma asks how to get a toddler to poo on the toilet. So, same theme, really.
The guys also tackle the art of getting an unwilling toddler into the car (think angry cat), how to reassure a dad whose newborn refuses to feed from him, and why we need to change the conversation around men and school pick-up.
From toilet anxiety to parenting wins, it’s another week of the guys tackling the big issues. Well, some of them.
