Daddies Overnight

We're still pinching ourselves that we're sitting down with actual MILLENNIAL ROYALTY! This week, we're joined by the incredible Dani Harmer for a nostalgic trip down memory lane, chatting all things parenting, Tracy Beaker and life beyond the Dumping Ground. From a rather alarming school gate stalker encounter to the things she may or may not have taken from the Tracy Beaker set (and STILL has years later!), Dani has some brilliant stories to share. We also get into how playing one of Britain's most iconic fictional children has influenced her own parenting, what life is like as a mum and how things have changed since her CBBC days. It's packed with nostalgia, unexpected revelations, plenty of laughs and a few things we definitely weren't expecting to hear!

This week, we're getting into the spooky side of parenting… and things get a little weird! Because it's our Daddies Overnight Halloween Special! Can children really see dead people? Ryan reveals that he once did a Ouija board, and Matthew isn't entirely convinced by his story. We chat about ghosts, talking to spirits and whether there's more going on than we can explain. Plus, we're sharing some scary Halloween parenting stories, trick-or-treating horrors and the things that genuinely send shivers down our spines when it comes to raising little ones. Is it all just our imagination, or is there something spooky going on? 👀

Guys, we went away for a WEEK without Lincoln, and it came with the guilt and worries around leaving him behind, but our overall feeling throughout the week surprised us and probably will surprise you too...Should parents feel guilty for taking time away from their children, or are we allowed to be Matthew and Ryan as well as Daddy and Daddy? We also dive into a conversation that’s left us genuinely torn: should you celebrate your child’s adoption day? We share our thoughts, the different perspectives we’ve considered, and why something that feels so meaningful can also bring up some difficult emotions. It’s an honest conversation about parenting, adoption, judgement and trying to work out what feels right for your family, even when there isn’t a straightforward answer ❤️ We’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode's topics, especially if adoption is part of your family’s story.

We share the story from a dummy confession from a completely exhausted listener nearly poisoning their child, because apparently sleep deprivation and juggling all things parenting really does turn your brain to mush! We’re also getting into the debate around gentle parenting and asking whether a generation of new parents has become too scared to say no, set boundaries or simply… parent?! Are we all just massive pushovers now? (We shouldn't have got Ryan started on this topic lol!) Plus, we open up about our experience with night terrors, what they're like to witness as parents, and the things nobody prepares you for when you have children.

For the first time ever, we’re joined by a guest on Daddies Overnight! (We are literally SO excited!) This week, we’re joined by the amazing Daisy AKA Muddle Through Mummy! She's a mum of two, creator and fellow parent navigating the chaos, laughs and questionable decisions that we all know come with raising kids. We’re getting into the parenting choices we probably shouldn’t admit to, the things that might have the almond mums reaching for their keyboards, and the never ending Type A vs Type B parent debate (we probably offended her during this debate as our first guest too) Are some parenting rules taken a little too seriously? Are we too relaxed? And just how many “bad” parenting choices are we willing to confess to? 👀 Welcome to the first ever Daddies Overnight guest episode! ❤️

We’re back for SEASON 2 (woo!)... and A LOT has changed since we last recorded. Before we get started, we can't thank everyone who messaged us about the podcast coming back enough. We decided we should share the real reason we disappeared. We’re catching up on life with a toddler, tantrums, sex education, whether kids should be allowed to swear, and all the chaos in between. We're so happy to be back, so welcome back!

A question that’s been quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) on our minds - should we have another baby? And if so... when? We talk honestly about the constant back and forth of whether to adopt again now, wait a little longer, or if our family might already be complete. It’s a bigger emotional decision than we expected, and we’re definitely feeling the pressure of “is there ever a right time?” It's time to also dive into our experiences visiting nurseries for our son the last few weeks, including a few that just didn’t feel right. From gut instincts to unexpected doubts. And of course… we couldn’t end the episode without a bit of a debate. Our dummy confession this week might divide opinions - should people be allowed to kiss your child? Where do you draw the line?

This week we’re feeling… old. Like, suddenly questioning 'what on earth has happened to us' old. Has parenthood aged us overnight, or is Ryan just fully entering his post adoption midlife crisis era? We talk about the strange identity shift that comes with becoming parents, the unexpected emotions that hit even when everything is “going well,” and why it sometimes feels like we’ve lost a version of ourselves along the way. We also get into Coachella FOMO (because apparently that version of us still exists somewhere), and share the reality of our recent family holiday, which was a lot harder than we expected. From missing our son while literally being with him, to navigating parent guilt and the emotional rollercoaster of stepping away for work. Oh, and dummies confessions is a gooden!

This week might genuinely cover every parent’s worst nightmare as we read through a scary dummy confessions sent in by one of our listeners… and immediately question why we decided to bring this topic up. Ryan also opens up a little more about his experience in foster care, sharing how those early chapters of his life continue to shape the way we approach adoption, attachment, and parenting our boy today. Ryan also launches a brand new surprise segment: “Things My Husband’s Done to Annoy Me This Week” all without giving Matthew any warning whatsoever. And the biggest realisation of the week? Lincoln’s growing personality has us both asking the same question: why does it suddenly feel like we’re parenting a teenager instead of a baby? Haha

This week we’re chatting about the emotional side of parenthood as Ryan opens up about why special moments with our son always seem to bring him to tears. We’re also recapping our Easter weekend, sharing the little family moments that made it so special, and having an honest conversation about something a lot of parents quietly worry about... are we raising a spoilt child? AND after feeling a bit lost when it comes to finding “our people”, we finally feel like we’ve had a breakthrough with making mum friends… even if not every mum encounter has been the easiest.

The clocks changed in the UK… but our toddler didn’t. In this episode, we talk about what felt like our last peaceful hour before daylight savings completely flipped our routine upside down. No screens allowed. No extra sleep. Just two exhausted dads trying to survive British Summer Time with a suddenly very sassy little boy. From 3AM wake ups to an unexpected debate about what superpower would actually save bedtime, this one is honest, chaotic and very real. If you’ve ever experienced the UK time change with a toddler… you’re not alone.

This week, parenting truly put us to the test… in public - honestly, a living nightmare occurred. From a full-blown poo explosion at the shopping centre (the kind that makes you question whether you’ll ever be allowed back) to a much-needed rare date night - one that was CHILD FREE, it’s been a chaotic one. We also dive into the bizarre and sometimes extreme lengths people are going to in the name of “beauty,” and Ryan’s questionable driving makes yet another appearance. Safe to say - there’s never a dull moment in our new family.

This week we're running on VERY little sleep and a lot of coffee lol. Ryan opens up about the sleep anxiety he's been dealing with while Lincoln has been waking through the night, although he's not fully awake, but clearly distressed. We think he might be experiencing night terrors, and we're trying to figure out what’s normal, what’s not, and how on earth parents cope with the exhaustion that comes with it. On a much more magical note, we talk about our trip to Disneyland Paris to experience the brand new World of Frozen before finally sharing Lincoln’s first birthday, which was meant to be a beautiful milestone… but very nearly turned into the world’s biggest birthday disaster. Sleep deprivation, Disney magic, and a first birthday we won’t forget anytime soon.

Welcome to our snotty nose era. This week we’re talking about a parenting milestone we definitely didn’t see coming so soon… rushing our son to A&E. And...somewhere along the way we’ve become those parents... the ones we used to quietly judge before we had kids... walking around with a permanently snotty child and a bag full of tissues. But along with the sniffles also comes something new: the constant worry of “Is this normal… or is something actually wrong?” In this episode we share what happened the day we had to rush our son to A&E, the panic, the second-guessing, and the fear of wasting everyone’s time. Most importantly, we talk about why trusting your gut as a parent matters - even when you're worried you might be overreacting. Because sometimes your instincts are the most important parenting tool you have.

This week starts with something that honestly gave us chills, even if the intentions weren't bad, people using AI to try and remove the blue heart we put over our son’s face in pictures to see what he looks like. We talk about what that means, how scary the future of AI might be, and how we’re navigating protecting our child online. We also go through the emotional rollercoaster of sorting out clothes he’s already outgrown (how are they this tiny already?) and Matthew shares some surprising news about a surgery he wants to have.

The social workers are officially out of our lives. After hundreds of check-ins, forms, visits, and assessments, this chapter of our adoption journey has finally closed. And wow… it feels big. In this episode, we talk about what really happened after we brought our son home, the emotional rollercoaster we didn’t fully share at the time. The exhaustion. The overwhelm. The quiet doubts. The pressure to look like we were coping. We were often “faking it till we made it,” trying to hold everything together while adjusting to becoming daddies overnight. If you’re in the adoption process, thinking about it, or in that blurry 'just becoming parents' phase, wondering if everyone else is finding it easier than you, then this one’s for you. This is what happens after adoption - our experience.

Everyone told us not to travel with a baby... so we went to Japan anyway with a baby haha! From no seatbelts for our little boy on the flight, to a full on poo explosion at the airport, to navigating jet lag and tantrums across the world... this trip was messy, chaotic, hilarious, and unforgettable. And somewhere between the chaos and the quiet moments, Japan did something unexpected. It made us rethink our whole future. Could we really move here? Join us for the highs, the lows, the laughs in this episode and discover why having a baby doesn’t end adventure… it just opens the door to a bigger, wilder, more beautiful world (with a little bit of sprinkled exhaustion)

This Valentine’s special gets a little… dramatic. We take a trip down memory lane and share the REAL story of how we met (we haven't always been truthful about this), what our Valentine’s Days used to look like before parenthood, and how our relationship has changed over the years. Then we put it to the test. We play a “How well do we know each other?” Valentine’s edition... and let’s just say, some of the answers don’t go to plan… with talk of divorce thrown around more than once. Perfect if you’re new here, and even better if you’ve been with us from the start. Happy Valentine's Day!

One of us has faced a devastating truth: "I'm not the favourite parent." Not second favourite. Not a joint favourite. Just… not it. What starts as a slightly wounded ego spirals into a very honest chat about the bit no one warns you about after becoming parents. We also chat and give our BEST parenting advice after all the experience we've had being daddies (insert sarcasm) haha! You're welcome in advance!

One thing we never see anyone chat about is the post-adoption blues, which we touch on. After the excitement settles, the adrenaline disappears, and you’re left thinking, “Wait… are we actually any good at this?”

Expect chaos, laughs, and way too many coffee-fueled confessions as we share the funny, messy, and unexpectedly heartwarming parts of becoming dads overnight and navigating life. It’s not just about parenting - it’s about surviving life as two husbands learning as we go.

New episodes to watch and listen to EVERY Tuesday.
