Summary

After two years away, the wives are back in Dadville—and the best part? They’re all still married to the same people! In this catch-up episode, the couples dive into the emotionally exhausting reality of raising older kids, where arguments are far more robust than the toddler days. They also tackle the hilarious side of parenting, like why their kids now narrate their father's rising frustration ("Daddy’s getting mad!") and Amy’s persistent habit of asking where every new friend went to elementary school. It’s a hilarious look at life, love, and the pursuit of "awesome dadding." Join us: http://dadville.substack.com Thanks to our sponsors!
