💙 BYTB: Myth Busting! Breaking down fatherhood myths - with Rob Sturrock

Welcome to EP02 of Beyond the Balls. This week, hosts Jayde Couldwell and Chi Lo chat with the amazing Rob Sturrock, author of Man Raises Boy, about debunking fatherhood myths:

• “You can’t help at all at the start because you can’t breastfeed.”
• “Pregnancy means a horny wife.”
• “You have a kid now; welcome to no-sex land.”
• “You probably won’t bond with your kid until later.”
• “Welcome to your new dad bod.”
• “Taking paternity leave is career suicide.”
• “Your favorite pub has burned down.”
• “You can’t do as good a job as Mom at parenting.”

Listen in to see what we think is true and what isn’t.
