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)New episodes to watch and listen to EVERY Tuesday.WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN DUMMY CONFESSIONS?📩 Send us your most embarrassing or funny confession in a DM to our Instagram or send your voice note to daddiesovernight@gmail.comhttps://www.instagram.com/daddiesovernight/📲 Or find us at @daddiesovernight on socials, and don't forget you can WATCH the episode on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@daddiesovernightTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daddiesovernightTwo husbands.

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.

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?” New episodes to watch and listen to EVERY Tuesday.WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN DUMMY CONFESSIONS?📩 Send us your most embarrassing or funny confession in a DM or a voicenote to our Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/daddiesovernight/📲 Or find us at @daddiesovernight on socials, and don't forget you can WATCH the episode on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@daddiesovernightTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daddiesovernightTwo husbands.

We might have officially gone nuts because we booked a 15 hour flight with our son for our first holiday together. In this episode, we talk honestly about the nerves, the “what ifs,” and the fear of being judged while flying with a tiny child for the first time. We share why we chose the destination, how we planned the itinerary, and how we’re mentally preparing for long-haul flights as a family. If you’ve ever wondered whether travel with kids is worth it (or if everyone will hate you on the plane), this one’s for you.

This week we're opening up about something we’ve been keeping private that we get asked about a lot... our son’s age. We talk honestly about our thoughts on sharing it with the world. It’s a real conversation about boundaries, privacy, and parenting in the public eye. We can also fully admit that Ms Rachel has become our best friend even after lots of resistance (from us), and how she’s helped us through this stage. Also, why Peppa Pig isn't allowed in our household hahaNew episodes to watch and listen to EVERY Tuesday.WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN DUMMY CONFESSIONS?📩 Send us your most embarrassing or funny confession in a DM or a voicenote to our Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/daddiesovernight/📲 Or find us at @daddiesovernight on socials, and don't forget you can WATCH the episode on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@daddiesovernightTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daddiesovernightTwo husbands.

We’re opening up about life as a two-dad family... the love, the joy, and yes… the online hate. We talk honestly about the comments and trolls who seem upset by the fact that our son has two dads, and how we’ve chosen not to let that stop us from living our best life as a family. We also share a really special moment about what our son calls us and why that means more to us than any opinion online ever could. We also can't forget about celebrating our first New Year as a family, plus a more light-hearted catch-up on Stranger Things, Amber Alert, and the everyday moments that make this chapter of our lives so special.New episodes to watch and listen to EVERY Tuesday.WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN DUMMY CONFESSIONS?📩 Send us your most embarrassing or funny confession in a DM or a voicenote to our Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/daddiesovernight/📲 Or find us at @daddiesovernight on socials, and don't forget you can WATCH the episode on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@daddiesovernightTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daddiesovernightTwo husbands.

The chaos of getting ready for our little boy's arrival has officially begun. From nursery bickering and assembling the cot 'together' to last-minute house checks from our social worker, nothing goes unnoticed. We share the highs, the mini meltdowns, and the moments when all the advice (and opinions) start to feel a little overwhelming. Plus, the classic curveball everyone who has a baby probably experiences: being told we’ll never travel again… all because we're about to become parents.

After what felt like the longest wait of our lives, the day finally arrived... we got to meet our son for the FIRST TIME. We're sharing every moment of the day that has changed our lives forever: from the nerves of wanting to get it just right, to the slightly terrifying prospect of meeting his foster carer (what if they didn’t like us?!), to holding our son in our arms for the very first time. Oh, and let’s not forget our debut attempt at changing a nappy - spoiler: it did not go smoothly.
