Fatherhood | How to be Involved as a Husband & Dad

Published: June 17, 2021, 10 a.m.

Today it\u2019s all about the Aussie daddy, or fatherhood and how to be an involved dad and husband. Adam tells about how fatherhood and being a parent has changed him, like how he used to want an elaborate life, but now as we\u2019ve had more kids, he just wants things to be simple because really that\u2019s what our kids want. We also talk about being present with kids, which can get hard when you\u2019re busy a lot with work and your professional life, but Adam explains that he loves spending time with the kids and playing Legos, or games, and working outside in the yard is another great way to do this. We talk about gender roles and the importance of being equal, but not the same.

\u201cI think that\u2019s the biggest thing that I\u2019ve learned in our marriage from working together and being around together so much is that we operate really well when we\u2019re tag-teaming, but when we\u2019re tag-teaming, someone has to leave the house.\u201d 11:36
