We've been here before, but like everything to do with parenting, it needs revisiting over and over to drive it home. Should an 11 year old have a cell phone? We say no, but Jordan's daughter thinks otherwise. Let's hash it out. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is the hardest age to parent? From infants to teens, every age and stage has it's own unique challenges, but Jordan believes he is in the hardest part right now. Do you agree, or is it only going to get harder from here?? Plus - try explaining to a curios 12 year old what a "gob gob" is...eek. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time for one Dad on this pod to have the dreaded puberty conversation with one of his daughters. Jordan explains to us how he is handling (or not handling) it, and what he finds most challenging! We also compare it to how we experienced puberty conversations growing up - thank goodness things have changed! Plus we catch up on Father's day, and Clint's never-ending concussion. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How did Clint get his concussion, and why did it make nationwide news here in NZ?? Plus, not to be outdone, Jordan has his own concussion story AND his own big secret to share! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Better late than never - we have had some technical and physical issues this week. Jordan was at the snow with no coverage, and Clint concussed himself walking into a lamppost on the school run (more on that next week...) THIS WEEK Clint has a big secret to reveal - a decision him and Lucy have made for the sake of their marriage and family. Will Jordan judge, or accept? And is this the right idea for your family too?? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The most important day in the Dad calendar behind, of course, Christmas, your birthday, the kid's birthday, and maybe his own birthday. What do dads REALLY want for fathers day? The answer may be simpler (and cheaper) than you think... Plus some amazing ideas for the Dad olympics and a terrifying revelation about taking your kids out of school for trips away. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Grim, we know but death is as much a part of life as life itself, so let's have a chat about it now before we have to. We have both had to explain to curious young minds the process of death and funerals (Clint as recently as last week), so this week we will talk abut how we do it, and what the experts say. Enjoy!

*Warning - Bad Language Not For Small Ears* We wanted to share a brand-new podcast from iHeartRadio with you!

His wife Tayla thrives on annoying her husband with her form of hilarious disorder, constantly keeping him on his toes. Once they start talking, the conversation could end up anywhere. Join in as The Montoya’s lift the curtain on the life and relationship of Aussie imports assimilating into New Zealand as a newly married couple. Think Keeping Up with the Kardashians crossed with Modern Family and tune in for the podcast you never knew you needed. About The Hosts: Tayla Montoya is an ex-cheerleader, and current radio producer for Jono and Ben on The Hits.

The Olympics are on and it's a great way to get your kids hyped on sport and show them what's possible if they put their mind to something. This week we discuss how we use the Olympics as a teaching tool, and we invent some sports for parents - 400m Shoulder Ride anyone??? ------------------------------------ www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm | @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back after our school holiday break with a BIG milestone on the pod this week - one of our girls has started primary school. Jordan is hustling hard on Facebook Marketplace to get an entire family load of gear to save money with DAD MATH. Clint has a question about the different language we use with girls and boys and Jordan's dad is on his O.E (in his late 60's) ENJOY! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After an incredibly emotional week of parenting and milestones, we've made a decision - Jordan and I are having a baby. That's all we can tell you. You'll have to listen to the full podcast to hear how. ------------------------------------ www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm | @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Look it's a tricky one. Mums do soooo much, and their bodies go through more than we dads can ever imagine, we all agree on that. But as dads, are we allowed to be tired too? Or is parenting a never ending competition to see who is the tired-est? Also Jordan has hearing aids now, and we are so dumb, we f**ked up our big mens health week test results last week... ------------------------------------ www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm | @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we tackle (pun intended) the topic of the stuff your kids wanna do outside of school hours, because it can be a lot, especially if you've got multiple kids! Somehow, this also becomes a "what health problems does Clint have" episode too. We try to solve snoring OH AND JORDAN HAS A BIG VASECTOMY ANNOUNCEMENT! Enjoy. ------------------------------------ www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm | @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's men's health week here in New Zealand so this week we are having a frank discussion about how we look after ourselves as dads, and what we could do better. Do we go to the doctor enough, and why are we so weird about anything to do with butts?? It's a fairly honest and revealing chat - hopefully it's not TMI... www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm | @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kids, phones and online safety is a big issue. So we’ve just dropped a special episode exploring the topic. We talk with Rory Birkbeck of Safe Surfer, the NZ charity making it safer for kids to access the internet, about the issues and challenges of kids and phones. It’s collaboration with Samsung and their new kid-safe phone helping kids stay connected and safe online at the same time. www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm | @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jordan is back from a week long family holiday to beautiful Fiji! So he's gunna talk us through the do's and do-not's of tropical travel with kids. Plus how much praise about his spiffy new outfit can one dad take? We're about to find out... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Like the song says "it's all about confidence, baby!" This week we discuss raising strong, confident children who are ready to take on the world (or at least the monkey bars). We also ask where our own confidence comes from, and what it allows us to do in life. -------------------------------------------- https://www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm | @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are attending the very fancy New Zealand podcast awards in two weeks and Jordan is losing sleep over what to wear! Like many dads, he has fallen into a fashion rut of round-the-house clothes and one pair of "going out" jeans. So how do we, as dads, fix that, and put our best-dressed foot forwards? Plus a trip down memory lane about fashion from our youth. -------------------------------------------- https://www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm | @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hamish Blake instilled in us, on his episode, the importance of going on as many adventures as you can with your kids while they are young. This weekend just gone, we did just that! Two very different adventures but with the same great outcome. Plus who won mother's day 2024: redemption round? -------------------------------------------- https://www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm | @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Legendary kiwi comedians Jono and Ben are our guests this week on TPH! This episode was recorded live as Jordan, Jono and Ben played handball non-stop for 24 hours. Clint joined them for a bit and the boys chatted about everything dad-life. Heads up - it sounds a bit different because it's not in a studio, but there's lots of good stuff in here. Enjoy! -------------------------------------------- https://www.linktr.ee/theparentinghangover Insta: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm | @iheartradionz Tiktok: @theparentinghangover | @howtodadnz | @clintstagramm See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
