If you’re an 80’s or 90’s baby who now has a baby of your own – but you still feel like you’re figuring things out yourself – Millennial Dads is for you! Hosted by Andy Goh and Brian Solomon, Millennial Dads is for any parent, but will ring most true for fathers of our unique generation.
Check any kid’s itineraries in 2025 and you’ll see there’s no end to: summer camps, sports, traveling athletic leagues, practices, showcases, and literally a million other things that need to be planned and paid for. But some parents of a certain generation are yearning to give their kids the one thing they could count on during the summers of their own youth: boredom.
Having grown up in an era before cellphones and 9/11 meant having a degree of freedom, and a lack of programming, that doesn’t seem to exist for many middle-class kids these days. Millennial parents are trying to replicate that for their kids, but is it even possible? If it is possible, is it even a good thing? Brian and Andy dive into the topic on this week’s episode of Millennial Dads!
