You'll Always Worry

Daily Dad
About this episode

"What is being a father but worry? We talked about that great image from Obama a while back. Being a parent, he said, is a little like taking your heart outside your body and putting it in a vulnerable person who makes bad decisions. 

And that was said by a guy whose children are guarded 24/7 by the Secret Service!"

Ryan talks about why worrying about your kids is natural, and how we should keep it to a reasonable level, on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
