Dad Hard With A Podcast

YES WE ARE FINALLY BACK AND IT IS THE PREMIERE OF SEASON 3 OF DAD HARD WITH A PODCAST!!!!!In this 2 part season premiere we do a deep dive into the flip of the switch that happens when your child turns 2 - because that switch flips REAAAAAAAL FAST BELIEVE ME!!!In part 1 we discuss the age old classification of turning 2..... THE TERRIBLE TWOS!!! What is it about turning two that causes our kids to be so difficult? In these 2 months of reflection I feel that it's the first time a child WANTS more than he/she NEEDS - at least in their minds. In the words of the Rolling Stones, "you can't always get what you want" but when it comes to two year olds, that means you're getting tantrums, tears and a weeee bit of terror!
