Clay: Hey there, welcome to a very special episode of The Lab, I'm Daddy Clay. We're coming to you today from Freddie's Place here in South Austin, Texas.
Brad: I'm Daddy Brad. Today's episode is brought to you by BabyBjorn. Oexo-Tek certified, safe for your baby, BabyBjorn. Now we're asking parents hard hitting questions and we're getting some really good answers.
Clay: Today's question is "Are dads as stressed as moms?"
Brad: Do you think that today dads are as stressed as moms?
Woman #1: No, but I say that they are much more involved than say my dad, other generations.
Man #1: Not at all, in any way whatsoever at this point. As an expecting dad but I can see where as a father that the stress level would increase.
Clay: Okay, what you need to learn how to do is pretend to be as stressed as the moms.
Nathan: I'm a stay at home dad so this is my job. It depends on what there are. Sure. Why not?
Woman #2: I think they are but in different ways.
Clay: Cheater. Do you think that in our culture today that dads are as stressed as moms?
Woman #3: Only when they're sober.
Woman #4: Here's what I think. I think dads and moms have different stresses. And I think the hard thing about being a working mom and wanting to have it all, even with a dad as a partner, is that I feel guilty if I'm not doing all the things that a stay at home mom could do for her family.
Man #2: We tend to take the eh, it's gonna be fine approach. Occasionally, some women might be conceivably a little bit more stressed out about certain situations where men may be more just laid back about them.
Brad: Cause we're dudes.
Man #2: Cause we're dudes. So what if there's junk all over him. Who cares? He's a kid.
Woman #5: His dad is really stressed about his growing spurts and the lack thereof. Because he wants him to play a lot of sports. And I'm more worried about him not taking risks so I think it's a different kind of stress.
Clay: So do you think overall your stress level is higher or lower?
Woman #5: I think moms are a little bit more stressed out. Because that's how we're wired.
Woman #6: In our household, I was more stressed about what method should we be using? Should we be doing attachment parenting? Should we be doing something else? But he was stressed about oh my God, I'm a parent. And I have to adjust. So there are different stresses. I think we're equally stressed.
Clay: So stress is equalizing?
Woman #6: Stress is equalizing it's in different ways. For fathers I think it's in learning how to be a good dad. Cause dads are more present than they used to be.
Woman #7: I think if you're a stay at home dad, yes you might be stressed. But I think most dads still get the better half of the gig definitely.
Clay: So dads just in general are less worried about all this stuff?
Woman #7: Absolutely.
Clay: And is that a good thing or a bad thing? Well I tell you there's one thing that's hard to be stressed about and that's being here at Freddie's Place on a beautiful afternoon.
Brad: Absolutely. You know thanks to BabyBjorn, our sponsor. Oexo-Tek certified, safe for you baby, BabyBjorn. Thanks to Mutsy for donating the stroller. You know, if you've got a comment about being stressed or not stressed, go to DadLabs.com and leave it for us.
