Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Dad podcast, where on the weekends, we do a deeper dive

and how to get better at our most important job, being a parent. Sometimes in these episodes,

I talk to best-selling authors and elite performers and other guests, but lately I've also

been having conversations with my wife, Samantha, the co-parent of my two

boys. We do it over in the Daily Stoic studio here in Bastrop, Texas. She and I talk about things

that we're working on as parents, things that we're working on as people, and how we are supporting

each other, challenging each other, and like I said, trying to get better at what we do.

Guest or not, I hope you hear some ideas here that will help make you a better parent.

I was better for having the conversation.

I hope you enjoy.

I thought it was interesting. We were talking to this. We try to eat well in our family, but, you know, our kids like junk food. Everybody loves junk food. You want to make sure that whatever they're eating, they're getting the nutrients that they need. And sometimes, and so you think, oh, I'll give them a vitamin. But sometimes the vitamins are just more candy, but in disguise. And that's where today's sponsor, Haya comes in. Haya created a superpower,

chewable vitamin formulated with the help of pediatricians and nutritional experts, but with none of that garbage in there. And we have them on automatic refill so they come every month. We don't

have to worry about that. Also, if you're tired of battling your kids to eat their greens, well, Haya has a kid's daily greens plus superfoods. You just put some powder, you make them a smoothie, you make them a chocolate milk, or whatever you're going to give them to drink. You throw some of this in there. you blend it up, and they get 55 whole food ingredients

that support brainpower, development, and digestion. Plus, it tastes good. We've worked out a special

deal with Haya for their best-selling children's vitamin. You can receive 50% off your first order,

but to claim this, you've got to go to Hiahealth.com slash daily dad, because the deal is not on their

regular website. H-I-A-A-health.com slash daily dad, highahealth.com slash daily dad to get your kids the full body nourishment they need to grow into healthy adults. New mom at our school. She was like, he just started and you're like, is it crazy that he's only had like one day in school the whole year? And she was like, no, no, she was like, what are you talking about? My kid hasn't been sick. He's been in school every day this month. And I thought it was just, it was interesting because like our worlds have been so overwhelmed by the kids being sick and how much it threw our plans that I kind of forgot that, yeah, like people had a early beginning of a normal beginning of the year. I was trying not to just be like,

you know, right when I'm having conversations with people that I don't really know. But we all

had snow days. So that is emphatically incorrect. They had two snow days. Yeah. So we had half

week of school. And then the kids, everyone else went back for one week. And then we had snow days. Yeah. So we had half week of school and then the kids, everyone else went back for one week and then we had snow days. So our kids did not have that one week because they were sick. So we, even if, even if that were true, no child has gone to school consistently since we went back. Ours was particularly bad because during the one or two weeks or it was over two weeks, though, our kids missed a bunch of school because they were on and offset. Yes, but I'm just saying I wasn't going to be like, you're lying. I was saying some people's year was not as disrupted as our year. And then I think February, it's like, what is even the

burden of the school? I've already written the whole. It's crazy. I've already written the whole year off.

It's too late. What day is it? I'm not endorsing this, this resignation. No, and then a bunch of
