Stay-At-Home Dads
Some men picture stay-at-home parenting to be a dream. Never having to wake up early to go to work, setting their own schedules and rules, watching TV with the kids… but is stay-at-home parenting really that dreamy oasis from the workforce? The job seems to be more and more appealing as the number of stay-at-home dads increases every year, but what does it really take? Here to tell us what prospective fathers should know before volunteering to hold down the fort is Jonathan Heisey-Grove, president of the National at Home Dad Network. 
 
Father's Day Prep

Expecting Dads
When a couple is expecting a baby, people often fawn over the soon-to-be mother, asking weirdly personal questions, and sometimes even asking to touch her belly. But for an expecting father, it can be hard to figure out what your role is while waiting for the big day. In honor of Father’s Day this weekend, we’re joined by child development and parenting expert Rebecca Parlakian to talk about how expectant dads can stay involved in their spouse’s pregnancy.
 
Quarantine Kids 
Young adults love freedom: financial freedom, freedom to travel, and especially freedom fromparents telling them what they can and can’t do. But as colleges continue to stay onlinefor the summerand jobs are running scarce, more and more adults are moving back in with their parents in order to stay afloat. This has created a strange situation for parents as they navigate through what their relationship with their adult kids should look like. So,after years of them being out of the house, how should parents approach this new relationship dynamic with their children? We’ve invited friend of the show Dr. Lara Fielding on with us to discuss how to be the best parents we can be to our adult children.
