Jeff Wood is married and has three kids. Jeff talks to the guys about how he approaches being a dad and dealing with talking to his kids about drinking, social media, his blog, and more.
For Jeff, his three kids keep him going every day and he learns as much from them as he feels they learn from him. Parenting has been the best thing to happen to Jeff in his 38 years of life. There have been ups and downs, good times and bad but he and his family are all better for the things that happen in life.
In his house, he is the parent who works and my wife is the parent who stays home. It works for them for many reasons. The only thing that is hard being the one who works for him is missing out on lots of play time.
