Top 7 Fatherhood Myths | Dad University Podcast Ep. 258

A myth is defined as a widely held but false belief or idea.  When it comes to fatherhood there are definitely beliefs and ideas that we hear about and just aren’t sure whether they are true or not.  Some of the myths are around because at some point in history, they could have been true. I will also say that depending on where you live and/or the culture you are a part of, that could be another reason you hear these myths.  Well, what I would like to do in this episode is to talk about these fatherhood myths.  You can then decide whether they are real or not.

Getting married and having kids is quite different than being a single dude. Not only does your available free time change, but your stress level increases, the pressure escalates, and we often don't have an outlet for help. The average woman has a circle of friends, family, or online communities where she shares aspects of her life and gets advice, feedback, or at a minimum, the feeling that there are other people going through the same thing. Men don't talk as much, don't want to share as much, and therefore don't really experience the transition the way women do. Our personal struggles and frustrations often go untouched, simply learning how to cope with them ourselves. We think we need to "man up" and deal with it on our own. Whether it is parenting issues, dealing with our relationships, or anything in-between, Dad University is a place where men can know that other guys are going through the same thing. We can help each other and be better fathers and husbands. The Podcast helps dads through the journey of fatherhood as well as provides advice and assistance in relationships.
