Summary

“It was a surprisingly easy decision to make: No posting kid photos on social media. My wife and I made this decision not because, like everyone, we’ve been bored to death by endless baby photos from friends. Not because I’m worried about anyone’s safety (though as a writer I’ve had a few creepy encounters). But to look at a sleeping baby, defenseless and pure, and think, How many likes do you think this will get? struck us as particularly gross.”

Ryan explains why he won’t post photos of his children on social media.

Four Sigmatic’s mushroom coffee is real organic, Fair-Trade, single origin Arabica coffee, with Lion’s Mane mushroom for productivity, and Chaga mushroom for immune support. We've worked out an EXCLUSIVE offer with Four Sigmatic on their best-selling Mushroom Coffee - but this is JUST for Daily Dad listeners: Get up to 40% off + Free Shipping on Mushroom Coffee bundles.
