This time out, our panelists – turned daddy pundits talk about the jackass effect – kids behaving like the TV they watch, discussing the real world with your young kids, we ask the rhetorical question: who is the doctor in YOUR family, we get a book pick that could make this whole episode moot, and we wrap it all up with a post-Christmas mission de-briefing.

So please welcome James, Dale, Greg, Kevin and me playing host as we convene the daddy panel!

Our panel of podcasters-turned-daddy-pundits talk about;

1. spouse-bashing (not in the physical sense and this is not a how-to guide, ladies…its how to avoid verbal smackdowns),

2. making punishment fit the family,

3. The transformers health plan,

4. Babies as products,

5. Moms in toolbelts, and

6. Perhaps we’ve found the solution to the mess that is our health insurance system.

In this installment, the panelists Greg, Dennis, Kevin, Mike and newcomer Chuck convene to discuss kids party plans gone awry, noisy neighbors, “Do as I say, not as I do” and other parental power trips.

The title of this episode - the “lucky 13″ episode - is “Not Yet Rated” because we talk about those words that we don’t talk about, at least around the little kiddies, that is. We get into ways to converse with adults without the kids picking up the vernacular and using it when - or where - they shouldn’t.

Not to worry - the show is safe for little ears.

We also talk about milestones in our kid’s lives - like their first REAL bed. We talk about other milestones that make us all think, “ Wow, the kids ARE growing up!”

Please Join PD, Greg, Rob, Dennis and newcomer Kevin as they convene the Daddy Panel.
