A parenting podcast by two dads
It doesn’t make you a bad parent but it sure as hell makes you a frustrated one. These are unprecedented times no one AND. WE. MEAN. NO. ONE has a manual for this situation. You learn, you make mistakes, you cry, the kids cry and you start all over again. It’s just been 24 hours.
At one point I am sure we were crying louder than the baby. There were moments when we wished we never had a child. We started questioning our parenting skills. Screaming at the baby or nobody in particular became the way of life. But we found out that all parents go through this in some form or the other in varying degrees.
‘Pops in a pod’ are here to share their stories as parents who are concerned about their kids in the time of COVID-19. When we went about writing this episode we were recounting our experiences about how DIFFICULT it is to break it down to a child what’s going on
We spoke a lot of everything from birth of his daughter, parental responsibilities, looking for content with his kid, but the most interesting thing that he spoke about what his parents’ probably went through when he was a kid now that he is a parent.
It was such an embarrassing experience we had with Warren, he was our first guest and we ended up talking amongst ourselves for a good 25 minutes and guess what we forgot to hit record! So we had to restart the entire conversation and it was all good.
At some level the wives did question what have they got themselves into. Reality was far different from expectations. The relationship with the child, husband, family, and individually was going to change dramatically.
The wives take us through the various forms of paranoia, issues, concerns while they were pregnant and thoughts of having a healthy child would constantly come up in conversations. And they highlight the fact how a first pregnancy always accentuates these feelings and emotions that they encounter.
