Summer dad guilt hits hard when work is busy, kids are home, and you feel like you’re missing the moments that matter — that’s what today’s Coffee Talk is all about.

Welcome back to Dad Livin’, coming to you from an early Saturday morning coffee session in St. Louis, no garage beers this time, just coffee and real talk.

In this episode we dig into:

• The reality of summer dad guilt and working dad schedules — from “Dad, I miss you” phone calls to kids saying “I just want you” while you’re trying to work from home.
• How we’re juggling late movie nights, summer camps, pool days and Brenner (breakfast for dinner) while trying not to feel like we’re failing as dads.
• What we actually let the kids watch: Indiana Jones, Superman, Marvel, Lord of the Rings, and the awkward parenting moments when PG-13 trailers go way too far.
• Why routines and workouts fall apart in the summer — ballpark food, frozen custard runs, and kids calling out our dad bods — plus how we’re trying to reset without the shame spiral.onlinemediamasters
• The small wins that make the chaos worth it: Jordan Walker’s Home Run Derby run, FIFA World Cup family watch parties, golf camp progress, and Sandlot-style baseball pool parties.

If you’re a dad working full-time, wrestling with dad guilt, and trying to stay present in the middle of summer schedules, this Coffee Talk episode will feel way too familiar.
