What happens when we stop talking about the dads in blended families and actually ask them what’s going on in their heads?
This week, I’m joined by Kelly and John from the Better Baby Daddy Club for a refreshingly honest conversation about divorce, dad guilt, custody, co-parenting, stepmoms, and the mistakes they wish they could go back and change. Both men get real about their own role in past relationships and how maturity, boundaries, faith, therapy, and a whole lot of growth changed the way they show up as fathers and co-parents.
We also get into something SO many stepmoms struggle with: why divorced dads sometimes parent differently out of guilt, what happens when a new woman enters an already-established family, and why a husband may not even notice the behaviors that are driving his wife crazy. And Kelly shares what he learned after being married to stepmoms, including why making his marriage a priority required him to be much more intentional about making his wife feel like she belonged.
Plus, we talk about kids moving between homes, sibling relationships, discipline across households, boundaries with an ex, “ours babies,” and what these dads wish stepmoms understood about the men trying to navigate all of it.
It’s honest. It’s funny. And it might just make you look at your husband’s side of the blended-family experience a little differently.
