48 Hours Solo Parenting

I just quickly want to acknowledge all of the single parents out there who solo parent every day. I admire you so much!!!! Sending love and a positive flood of energy to you all.

We had our baby girl Frankie in November of 2023 and to say our lives have changed immensely would an understatement. I have personally been struggling with the lack of time to be creative and try new things for myself. Bec does a lot of the heavy lifting of parenting for us on a day to day basis and truly deserves this time away more than anyone I know SO I was both excited and nervous to take on solo parenting for 48 hours. Looking back now I am so grateful to have had this alone time with Frankie and know that I will cherish these memories FOREVER!!! What was your favourite part of our 48 hours together?!

Eamon mocked the schedule, then he feared the schedule, then he ROCKED the schedule! Good job Papa !!

This video highlights how difficult and draining it is to be a single parent. To all those single parents out there - hats off to you!

I appreciate that y'all decided to share sweet Frankie with us!!! She brings a smile to my face with those big beautiful eyes. I just love her!!!

Dude, thank you so much for this video. As a new father struggling through the chaos of parental leave with 9 month old baby seeing an actual real “day in the life” parenting really helps fend off the guilt created to toxic parent influencers presenting their perfectly curated lives. I will feel a little less guilting now slapping on a little YouTube for him when I need to eat 😅

Even if for one second, I'd put a life jacket on Frankie. She's going to soon start moving around fast ❤

[BradandJaz]

The fact that you managed to vlog any of this is insane with a baby on your own. you guys are incredible.

[pamelas]

I think it's hilarious how Frankie looks so much like Bec when video calling people. Her whole facial expression is just spot on.

[Orangeshebert]

As an old mom of 3, this video brought me to tears. Eamon was amazing. During my child raising days I could only dream of such an engaged father. Way to go Eamon and Bec!

Frankie is just so adorable. She looks just like the Gerber Baby! They say that if men had to have every other baby that there would only be 3 kids in every family! Also....
VERY IMPORTANT! Even if it's only for 30 seconds PLEASE do not take Frankie in your boat without her life jacket! You never know what could happen and it's better to be safe.
Thanks for sharing this with us. You did good, dad.

Yes! The yellow hair is gone. The new haircut looks great. Love seeing how much Eamon loves his baby girl. I still can't get over how precious Frankie is😍 & I got teary-eyed when Bec returned. Everyone was so happy to welcome her home. Frankie touching her mama's cheek was too adorable! 🥰Aww, my heart!!

1) Frankie is beyond cute. 2) LOVE the haircut 3) You are a fantastic dad. 4) I low-key had a panic attack when Frankie didn’t have a life jacket on in the boat. I know. I can’t help it.

[asell]

Life jacket for Frankie please! The pediatrician in me almost had a heart attack watching her rock back and forth on the boat while you were grabbing your hat 😭 Love your family ❤️

[katemaloney]

Frankie seems to have inherited her parents' optimism and zest for life. What a joy!!

[emando]

This was a great watch, truly impressed Eamon! Also as a first time mum of a 5 mth old, thankyou for showing the multiple evening wake ups and leaving in some of Frankies upset moments. Most channels cut that out and have viewers thinking it's all sunshine and rainbows! Hope to see what Bec's been up to with Craig and Aimee! 🫶🏼

How does a baby even get THIS cute?! Literally the cutest baby on earth (no offense to any other baby!) !

[robinbliss]

Eamon, you survived the challenge and Bec will reap the rewards of your new appreciation. And Frankie is a tiny, toothless version of Bec! Beautiful!

[jennieanderson]

All by yourself for 48 hours with a teething baby? Man, you crushed it! Teething is no joke. You even cleaned?? Amazing! Frankie is SO precious. And absolutely ZERO shame using tech for a bit of a break. You use the tools you have to maintain sanity. I felt to my core how Bec's reaction to seeing Frankie after two days was to almost burst into tears. You miss them so much when you're gone, even if you do need the break.

My mom always tells the story of my 6'4 dad carrying me through the kitchen as a baby and smacking my forehead on the door frame by accident. This is the same dad who let me topple completely out of my wagon as a toddler (as he was pulling it down the street and harshly turned a corner)... took me as a six-year-old little girl to get my ears pierced at the darkest, most goth, scary tattoo shop he could have possibly chosen (I came home not only with little pink flowers in my ears but temporary tattoos all over my arms and legs of spiders and skulls and cars and fire)... brought me to demolition derbies when mom was out of town, wedging an old pair of (grown man's size) weed-whacking headphones he'd brought from the home garage over my ears to protect me from the loud noises. Needless to say, dads do it differently. But this is also the man who taught me to drive, still holds my hand in the grocery store even now that I'm 22, tells me I'm beautiful even when I don't believe it, and always says yes whenever I ask for a big, long hug. Eamon, you're doing a great job, and you'll be Frankie's protector forever. There are things moms will be better at, perhaps even things mom does that dad can't get quite right... but dads and their dad-activities (haha, so to speak) are something moms just can't always replicate. You guys are the cutest little family!

[adrienneemm]

Great job, Eamon! As a single mom, I especially loved your vulnerability showing the pie and ice cream eaten. Survival mode activated.

[chelseab]

Okay, my daughter is obviously the most beautiful baby in my eyes, but HOLY TOLEDO Frankie is A BEAUTIFUL BABY. I cannot get over those plump lips and squishy cheekies. Every time I see videos or photos of her I just squeal with glee. lol

Thank you for sharing these moments of your life with us! You're doing amazing.
