In this episode, we\\u2019ll listen to my husband Dan Dekker and our brother-in-law Ryan talk about their experiences on becoming fathers and watching the births of their children. As we are approaching Father\\u2019s Day in the U.S., I wanted to do something special and share this interview that I recorded when I was teaching a college class on childbirth. We were discussing the importance of not only listening to the stories of people who give birth, but also their partners - because birth can be a life-altering experience for the partner as well as the birthing person.

You\\u2019ll hear both Dan and Ryan recall the experiences of watching each of their three children be born. They will also answer a really fascinating question: What\\u2019s good about being a parent? Studies are showing that many of today\\u2019s young people are reluctant to start families as they view it as disruptive to their lives. Dan\\u2019s and Ryan\\u2019s perspectives on fatherhood may surprise you.
