SUMMARY:Dylan Handlsohn: Breaking Dad
DESCRIPTION:At 45\, Dylan Mandlsohn did the unthinkable: he got married and had a kid. On purpose. Now\, six months into fatherhood\, he is sleep-deprived\, covered in questionable fluids\, and celebrating four uninterrupted hours of sleep like it is a wild night out. From diaper disasters to the sudden disappearance of his sex life\, Dylan hilariously breaks down the reality of becoming a first-time dad when most of his friends are already parenting pros or starting their second families. Whether you are a parent\, thinking about becoming one\, or doing everything possible to avoid it\, this brutally honest and laugh-out-loud show is one you will not want to miss.
