Why is that when kids see a dad character in the media, he is invariably an incompetent buffoon?
In the new episode of the Daily Mirror’s First Time Dads podcast, hosts Richard Innes and Steve Myall are joined by James Millar – author of new book ‘Dads Don’t Babysit’ – to discuss why most dads don’t feel fairly represented by the fathers they see on TV.
And Peppa Pig’s father – the cleverly named ‘Daddy Pig’ – comes in for some particularly fierce criticism.
The guys also discuss the pressures that mean many fathers who want to be more involved with raising their kids often find it impossible, and what we can all do to ensure dads of the future can spend more time being parents.
Listen to it here:
Richard is father to one year-old Ben, while Steve has two kids: two year-old Jackson and very recent arrival Iris. The podcast sees the two of them talking about all the issues dads with young children are likely to encounter.
