Description

Episode 45 of the podcast takes a slight detour from the usual format. The guys turn their mics over to their wives and hand over a bowl full of questions for the podcast’s first-ever Mom Takeover. Sarah Flaherty and Jamie Checket chat about everything from dad tropes and mom myths to “aha!” moments and moody kids. Finally, some real talk from the moms behind the dads behind Modern Dadhood. Perhaps this is the beginning of an annual event.A concept originally teased in Episode 43, hosts Adam and Marc turn the show over to their wives, Sarah and Jamie. With little instruction and a batch of questions and prompts to address at their will, the goal of the exercise was to celebrate and honor mothers by giving them the floor and full control of the show. How did they spend their time? Well, they discussed topics including:•  How they learned about (and didn't learn about) the "Mom Takeover" concept•  Motherhood myths•  The benefits and pitfalls of social media to a new mother•  Being your child's "entertainer"•  Letting go/stepping back•  Listening vs. problem solving•  Pregnancy mindsets•  Sleep deprivation•  Mom confessions•  Dumb dad moves•  And more!We celebrate you, Sarah, Jamie, and ALL moms, step moms, bonus moms, and moms-to-be! THANK YOU for being you! (And for accepting us and loving us for the idiots we are, too.) [Episode Transcript] Links:Hunt, Gather, ParentHow To Talk So Little Kids Will Listen

Modern Dadhood is an ongoing conversation about the joys, challenges, and general insanity of being a dad in this moment. The interview show is hosted by Adam Flaherty and Marc Checket, two devoted 30-something dads who are certainly not fatherhood experts, but do share indisputable chemistry and a zest for parenting. Guests from all walks of life speak candidly on a wide range of fatherhood themes, and listeners can expect a healthy dose of laughter, sincerity, dad jokes, and 90s nostalgia in each half hour episode.
