About this listen

A dad with four kids—three in their twenties, one in diapers.


Diapers for Two is one man’s second-chance chaos diary: funny, heartfelt, and a little unhinged.


Host Dan Shimmerman shares real stories about bedtime rituals, picky eaters, college moves, toddler swim class victories, and the emotional whiplash of parenting across two decades.


This isn’t a parenting advice show. There are no hacks, no judgment—just one father trying to stay grateful, grounded, and maybe a little less overwhelmed… one macaroni dinner at a time.

    Dan returns to the toddler swim class—this time as a much older, slightly soggier dad. From laminated emotion cards to “mindful kicks,” the world of early childhood sports has changed. But somewhere between the foam balls and bubble songs, he finds something deeper: a second act of parenting where joy matters more than form. With sharp wit and heartfelt reflection, this episode explores how sports, silliness, and showing up can turn even the smallest splash into something that lasts.
