Dylan Dreyer & FitDadCEO: ‘Complaining is part of the joy of parenting’ (April 2026)
About this episode
Dylan Dreyer and Dave Ogleton discuss the realities of parenting versus expectations, sharing humorous insights on common struggles.
Dylan Dreyer sits down with Dave Ogleton — aka @FitDadCEO — the TikTok and Instagram dad who's turned the chaos of raising six kids into hilarious, relatable parenting content. Together, they get into the parent you swore you'd be before having kids versus the parent you actually are: the rules you said you'd never break, the battles you get stuck fighting even when you don't care who wins, and the dinner table struggles over your kids immediately rejecting whatever you put in front of them.
