HGTV star Ben Napier has opened up about the unique challenges and anxieties he faces raising two daughters, Helen (6) and Mae (3), with his wife, Erin. In a recent interview, Ben confessed to a "constant state of fear" when it comes to disciplining his girls. He expressed concern about finding the right balance between guidance and preserving their spirits, a sentiment echoed by Erin, who added the importance of not making their daughters afraid of him.

Having grown up with three brothers, Ben admitted feeling more comfortable navigating the dynamics of raising boys. This new territory of raising daughters presents a learning curve, and he emphasized the desire for his daughters to always feel comfortable confiding in him. Erin, reflecting on her own experience as a woman, acknowledged the difficulty of parenting and the constant effort required.

Balancing work and family life also presents a significant challenge for the couple, particularly with their demanding schedules filming "Home Town," their HGTV show focused on restoring historic houses in Laurel, Mississippi. Both Ben and Erin emphasized the ongoing learning process of parenthood, striving to excel in both their professional and personal lives.

The couple's journey together spans two decades, beginning with a college crush and a whirlwind six-day romance that led to a deep and lasting connection. They recounted their early days, highlighting the instant approval Ben received from Erin's parents and their constant communication, which solidified their bond. Their love story culminated in marriage in 2008, and their shared passion for restoring their hometown eventually led to the premiere of "Home Town" in 2016.

Through their show, Ben and Erin aim to showcase the possibilities of small-town living, highlighting the unique opportunities and fulfilling experiences it offers. They hope to dispel preconceived notions and inspire others to pursue their dreams, regardless of location. The new season of "Home Town" is set to premiere on December 29th on HGTV.
