Ever wondered why your teenager's mood can switch faster than a light bulb? Join us as we slip into "dad mode" and share our humorous, sometimes frustrating, attempts to connect with our teens. From a rare day out at a luxury cinema to the mixed reactions they had to new clothes, we'll take you through the unpredictability of teenage attitudes. Listen in as we recount the moments when our kids retreat to their rooms despite our best efforts to engage them—and the fleeting victories when they finally show some interest.
But that's not all! We dive into the growth spurts and social changes our kids face, comparing the differences between siblings and how introverted and extroverted personalities navigate social events. We'll also share the lighter side of teaching teens about work ethic, filled with sneaky ice cream runs and the unexpected twists that accompany their first jobs. Whether you're a parent in the trenches or just looking for a good laugh, this episode offers a relatable and entertaining look at the rollercoaster ride that is parenting.

I'm from Australia and am what you would call a father who games. I have 5 kids so not as much time to game as I used to. But I still game and stream when I can. So come join me on Twitch in chat as we chill out.
