The Doughnut That Broke Me | Dad Life at 41

About this episode

The episode discusses the unexpected challenges of fatherhood in your 40s, highlighted by a personal story about a doughnut dispute between daughters.

Dad life in your 40s hits different, and sometimes it shows up in ways you don’t expect. In this solo episode of Stay Outta My Fridge, I talk about the moment I completely overreacted to my daughters fighting over a Tim Hortons doughnut… and what it revealed about fatherhood stress, turning 41, and the pressure modern dads quietly carry.
