Episode 27: From "Dada" to "Bruh" | Parenting Through the Ages

Dada. Daddy. Dad. Bruh. That is not your kid getting lazy with your name. That is the job title changing out loud. Brian and Dave talk about how a dad's role has to change as kids grow: caretaker, teacher, coach, mentor. The fights usually start when you keep doing last year's job after the kid has already left it. In this episode: What "Dada," "Daddy," "Dad," and "Bruh" actually mean as job descriptions Why pouring cereal for a kid who can do it starts the day on fire The packing test: check the bag, hand them the list, or answer the text from the road Why child two will ignore everything you learned on child one The quiet grief of the last time they fell asleep on you How to stay close in the Bruh years without grabbing the wheel back Not a childhood-development lecture. Just what the work looks like when the title changes and you still have to show up.
