Camping tips, tricks and advice from a fairly average parent and a reformed dad blogger
The dad blogging community is having a good month, at least when it comes to Lego. If you’ve not seen one of the many posts on the subject, Lego have been rolling-out their new lines and sets for 2016 – and one of those sets contains a rather hipstery-looking Lego man pushing a baby in…
According to “research” released today, a large proportion of fathers pretend to be asleep when their child cries during the night. To summarise what is essentially a press release for a nappy company, dads are arse holes who leave the serious stuff to mum. Let me caveat this post by saying that, as a marketer…
I guess it’s probably a sign of how little coverage dads get on TV, but this is the first time I’ve really had call to do a “review” of a dad-related TV show – and may well be the last for a while. So make the most of it… :D If you didn’t catch the…
As a blogger, I’ve tended to stray away from politics so far. I’m not especially knowledge about matters of law or politics, and when it comes to the “rights” of fathers in situations like divorce, I don’t pretend to have a solution or an especially strong opinion either way… However, what I DO firmly believe…
As a father who often struggles with buying presents for people, I’m a big fan of the concept of wishlists – my Amazon one has served me very well over the years, and our wedding wishlist produced presents we’re still using now. But what do you do if you need to buy for somebody who…
A couple of weeks ago I set-up a Facebook poll asking people to name their favourite Movie dads, looking for some inspiration for a blog post I was planning about big-screen dads. Thankfully, the polls had a much better response than I was expecting, with almost 100 people voting so far – giving rise to…
I’ve been “daddy blogging” for almost 10 months now, and am slowly finding my feet. I’ve got some lovely regular readers as well as some lovely guest posters – some of whom don’t get half as much praise as they deserve. So I wanted to go some way to correcting that here, by highlighting some…
I’ve been meaning to write a little quiz for a while now, and I’ve finally got round to it. I’m intending to add a few more rounds in the coming week, but since it’s firmly in the “just for fun” category I thought I’d post it up now to see how it goes down. Once…
A few weeks ago, I asked you to suggest famous on-screen dads so that I could run a poll, aiming to find your all-time favourite on-screen dads. Thanks to everyone who replied (through the various channels I asked on) – I got a good dozen or so to start with, along with a few suggestions…
For those that haven’t been following the news, new legislation came in to force yesterday (in the UK) which changes the way parents can use maternity/paternity leave. The new rules, devised by the last Government and held up by the current one, mean that fathers can now share a portion of the mother’s maternity leave…
