Dad, I Hate You – The Sting of Kid Anger & Fatherly Discipline

Three dads unpack the moment every father dreads: hearing “I hate you” from your own kid. From cold-shower showdowns to teenage eye-daggers, the crew shares real stories, laughs off the pain, and drops hard-earned wisdom on why the hate isn’t personal—it’s proof you’re holding the line. They dive into the idolize → demonize → humanize cycle, why dads can’t vent to wives (or therapists), and the one outlet that actually works: fellowship with other men. Expect tangents on dishwashers, begat-lists, and why cooking casseroles doesn’t make you less of a man.
