Great conversation with Paul. 

He explains there were few voices of Dads.  In a complementary way to Moms. 

His podcast led him to learn more.  The dads he interviews on his GreatDad.com are experts on specific issues. 

He supported the roles of involved parenting.  Paul grew up in a single mom parenting and was inspired to be involved.  He explains that Pregnancy Parenting involves the "involved parenting" aspect.

This subject is so all-encompassing.  And truly one that we could talk about for hours!

As Paul says the younger generation seems more implicated in the pregnancy.  They are not as likely to be less empathetic and are more involved than the older generation.

Paul started later in life.  He has two children and he was 38 when he had his first. 

We spoke about how being older and having children does change perspective, and how, to Paul, it was important that he was present, and he even left his job to make that happen. 

Paul said that he has been thinking a lot lately about the fact there is nobody else that will love your children in that same way that anybody else will.  (We agree).  Not their spouse, not their friends, and the responsibility to "not tell them lies" but to keep loving them and have patience with them and advise them in the most loving way.
