Welcome to the finale of our epic three-parter! In this episode of Gray Hair & Daycare, the parenting podcast for dads who are doing it a little later in life, Frank and Carlo tackle the post-cruise reality check.
Being an older dad means bringing a lifetime of humor in life to the nursery, but even that doesn't make baby advice on sleep training any easier. Frank shares the struggle of "The Passed Out Pivot" and why their high-tech cradle was accidentally sabotaging their sleep.
We're diving deep into fatherhood hurdles, from navigating a confusing pediatrician "triage" to dealing with a stubborn dad life mystery: why isn't the baby gaining weight despite eating everything in sight? Get ready for some unconventional parenting coach wisdom as Frank reveals his "Michelin-star" secret for getting protein into a picky eater—the legendary Mayo Omelet.
Whether you need parent advice on negotiating a 100% remote work offer (Retail 101 style!) or just some solid parenting comedy about cooking an Italian-Polish Christmas feast while sleep-deprived, we've got you covered. This is being a dad in the Gen X era—messy, hilarious, and always full of fatherhood advice.
