HGTV star Ben Napier in ‘constant state of fear’ as girl dad: ‘It is really hard’

nypost.com:

Ben and Erin share two daughters – Helen, 6, and Mae, 3.“I feel like with boys, it’s OK to have a healthy amount of fear of your father,” Ben noted. “With girls it’s like, I need them to know that they can call on me with anything.”“I’m just not used to being around little girls… it is really hard,” Ben added. “I’ve been one my whole life… I’m trying my best, but it’s hard,” Erin agreed. “Parenting is the hardest job in the world.

Everybody knows that.” The biggest challenge for Ben and Erin in this season of their home renovation show was learning to balance work with parenting their two daughters.

Ben and Erin star in HGTV’s “Home Town,” where the couple works to restore historical homes with found materials and old textiles in their hometown of Laurel, Mississippi.“We’ve never been parents before,” Erin noted. “We’re still learning every single day.

Learning how to do our jobs well and be the best parents possible is always the biggest challenge.”Erin and Ben have been together for 20 years.
