No-BS Dad Confessions: When Your Kid Asks ‘How Do You Really Feel About Fatherhood? Ep 21

Ever had your child put you on the spot with a question that slices straight through the dad-bod armor? 💥 Dmitry’s daughter did exactly that:

👉 “How do you feel about being a father?”

Cue 60 minutes of uncensored truth bombs, hilarious pet peeves (pugs vs. bulldogs!), and gut-check stories about spanking guilt, career overload, and why the silence hits harder than toddler screams.

👊 WHAT YOU’LL HEAR:
• Raw confessions about loving (and sometimes hating) dad life  
• The daycare money trap & learning to say “NO” without losing it  
• Patrick’s 100-hour workweeks vs. family time (ouch)  
• Rapid-fire “Would You Rather” that spirals into clown noses and dragon scales  
• Fatherhood Unscripted: movies, milestones, and a VERY deafening dog

👨‍👧‍👦 Whether you’re diaper-deep in newborn chaos or looking back on college-age kids, this episode is your permission slip to admit it’s hard *and* still the greatest gig on earth.
