Episode 191: Back to School Blues & The Great Sidewalk Debate: A Dad’s Guide to the Returning your Children to School. 

School’s in session, and so is a whole new set of challenges for dads everywhere! In this episode of the Top Dad Podcast, we’re diving into how to mentally prepare for the big back-to-school shift in family dynamics. From the chaos of getting everyone out the door on time to finding peace amidst the new routines, we’ve got the tips you need to keep your sanity intact as the school bell rings.

But wait, there’s more! We also stumble into a small but heated debate about what to call that mysterious strip of land between the street and the sidewalk. Is it a berm? A verge? A hellstrip? Spoiler: we couldn’t agree, so we deleted the best parts of the argument, but you’ll still get a taste of our classic dad banter without the My Dad can Beat up your dAd parts...
