    Regretful Parents: "I'm German. She's Japanese." | Reddit Stories
    Mar 26 2026
    This week on the Regretful Parents series, Erika and Kristen react to a Reddit post from a 34-year-old German father who says he never wanted kids, claims his Japanese wife lied about being on birth control, and now regrets both his marriage and his baby — while living in a completely different country from them.The post is equal parts heartbreaking and baffling.

    In this episode:
    • A German man describes his marriage to a Japanese woman and the culture clash that followed
    • Why "you have to read the air" is the most iconic line of the episode
    • The baby was born in Japan — while he was in Germany
    • What you need to know about international custody laws when one parent is Japanese
    • Why living together before marriage matters (especially across cultures)
    • Our hottest take: get a vasectomy, babe
    Whether you're here for the relationship drama, the cultural commentary, or just two women yelling "you're not even in the same country!" — this one's for you.

    Want more exclusive content from Dinky? Join the Patreon!

    This week, Erika takes Kristen down a rabbit hole she wishes she could un-visit — the disturbing story of Mike and Heather Martin, the couple behind the infamous DaddyOFive YouTube channel. What started as a "family prank" account quickly became one of the most notorious examples of child exploitation on the internet.

    We cover:
    • How the DaddyO5 channel grew to 750,000 subscribers and an estimated $200K–$350K annually — and what was really happening behind the camera
    • The "invisible ink" prank video that broke the internet
    • The role of biological mom Rose Hall and the custody battle that followed
    • What actually happened in court (spoiler: not enough)
    • Where the family is now

  • Regretful Parents: "I Don't Wish This On Any Woman" | Reddit Stories

    Regretful Parents: "I Don't Wish This On Any Woman" | Reddit Stories
    Mar 20 2026
    Erika is joined by friend of the pod and special guest Ashton to react to a Reddit post from a woman who is absolutely DONE being pregnant — stretch marks in places she didn't know could stretch, a partner telling her "your body will be better than ever," and a mom who just keeps saying "focus on the baby." YIKES.

    We get into why pregnancy horror stories are kept so quiet, the evolutionary reason human childbirth is uniquely dangerous, why women's pain gets minimized the second there's a baby involved, and the man on Instagram who came home for 1-2 hours a day and considered himself a parenting expert.

    Also: Ashton makes a great case for Dinky trips. Speaking of which, seats are still available for these two Dinky trips:
