Exploring the experience of fatherhood, this chapter examines the constant demands and errands that come with it. Despite the occasional annoyance, the hosts find fulfillment and joy in being needed and of service to their children, drawing inspiration from quotes by Hemingway and Tom Hanks.
"Sometimes it can feel like being a dad is just an endless series of errands. It’s the call from the bedroom that they need a glass of water. It’s the call from college for you to come to take them shopping for something they need for their apartment. It’s the running around town getting soccer cleats, or picking up concert tickets, or bringing them the homework they forgot. "
Ryan discusses how to change your perspective when you feel like you're becoming your kids' butler.
