As someone who constantly grapples between super-specific instructions and wishy-washy 'laissez-faire' parenting approaches, it's great to see some abstract parenting recommendations, with real-life examples and implementations. Will definitely be checking out the podcast as well!
Request/consideration for future newsletters - I'm much more 'into' parenting blogs/community resources than my full-time wife, and definitely have noticed how 'mom-centered' most products, content channels, and communities are; Are there any high-level studies that have examined whether this affects the buy-in from fathers/husbands/etc?
(On a personal level, I've learned to push through any content that says 'mom' enough times and recognize intriscally that I can benefit from it, but I am curious/worried as to how many fathers aren't willing to take the content in as sincerely due to how it's framed)
Thank you so much for that feedback. I truly appreciate it. One of my goals is to diversify my subscribers and I know to do that I need to update my word choice, have topics that appeal to all parents, and branch out from only mom interviews. If there are newsletters that do a good job at this or people I should interview, I would love your suggestions.
I've been happily following Patrick Klepek of Crossplay as we sit in a similar demographic (gamer father who wants to continue gaming) and will definitely keep an eye out for similar content creators!
