This week the guys are going against everything they've ever promised, diving headfirst into your parenting dilemmas... with a sprinkle of advice for the Doters. 💥 Does moving away from your best mate mean the friendship is destined for the group chat graveyard? 🚸 What age should kids be allowed to walk to school on their own? 🍺 And how on earth do you tell your partner it's time to ease up on the booze... without it backfiring? As always, Ash has some seriously good advice that every couple could take something from. Plus, Matt shares a worrying update after Buster is rushed in for emergency surgery. And if you're wondering why Matt's wearing a very special T-shirt, it's for Frankie, the daughter of one of our favourite guests, Jackson. The shirts are raising money to support children living with cerebral palsy. If you'd like to help out (and score a great tee), you can grab one here. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\__ If you need a shoulder to cry on: Two Doting Dads Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/639833491568735/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTwoDotingDads Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twodotingdads/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twodotingdads See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bathroom Exhaust Fan Confusion0:00 – 0:48

0:00

I got a question for you

M

0:01

Hit me

0:02

When you shower-

M

0:03

Yep

0:03

... exhaust fan on or off, all the time?

M

0:06

Always on.

M

0:07

Always on-

0:07

Always on

M

0:07

... 'cause-

0:08

I didn't know this

M

0:09

... what that, what else is it there for? The biggest argument in my household is because Laura turns the water to molten lava.

0:16

Oh, yeah

M

0:16

And especially now, 'cause it's winter, you open the door and you can't see anything.

M

0:19

It's like a smoke machine.

0:20

That's how I want it

M

0:21

No, but then the cabinetry, like, absorbs...

M

0:23

The cabinetry is dying.

0:25

Yeah.

0:25

I was just, I thought the exhaust was just for poops only.

M

0:28

What?

0:29

[laughs] Yeah.

M

0:30

But you're a tradie, you know these things.

0:32

I, I do...

0:33

I, I'm not a, I'm not a plumber or a electrician or anything.

M

0:36

But, Ash, so what do you...

M

0:38

Like, who's pulled you up?

0:39

My wife.

M

0:40

Oscar.

M

0:40

Oscar.

0:40

Oscar's like, "Yeah, whatever."

M

0:41

"How you doing, mate? You're doing everything wrong."

0:43

No, uh, April, April did, because the ceiling was moldy.

M

0:46

That's the pro-

0:47

Okay, hang on.
