Becoming Like Our Parents

As we navigate the challenges of being a dad, we realize that we are slowly becoming like our parents. It hits us randomly during everyday tasks, whether it's dealing with our kids, managing household responsibilities, or experiencing physical ailments. This realization may seem funny or absurd, but it also highlights our growth into adulthood. Just like our parents, who figured things out as they went along, we too are learning and doing a decent job. This serves as a reminder of our own progress and the potential for our children to view us with the same awe and appreciation in the future.

"It hits you randomly. You’re in the middle of packing your kids up for a drive to the beach. You’re laying on the couch because your back hurts. You’re telling your daughter to stop messing with the thermostat.

Holy crap. I have become my parents."

Ryan talks about the impact of this realization, and what it means for you, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
