Grown Ass Dads – Episode 8: Backpacks, Bus Stops & Nintendo Finger???
Back-to-school season hits different when you're the dad… and your kids have better tech than NASA.
This week, the Grown Ass Dads catch their breath as the kids head back to school—and reflect on everything that’s changed (and hasn’t). From awkward bus stop drop-offs to the gear anxiety of kids who already know how to use ChatGPT, we unpack the shift in family rhythm and technology that comes with a new school year.
🗣️ In this episode, the dads discuss:
• The emotional reset of back-to-school season—for dads
• Old-school tech vs. today’s devices (RIP dial-up modems)
• Childhood video game memories vs. what kids are playing now
• The strange evolution of what’s considered “normal” screen time
• Why organizing backpacks is suddenly the most fulfilling task ever
🆒 Tune in if:
You're feeling both relief and whiplash as routines return—and wondering how in the hell kids today are better at tech than you are at parenting.
