Never is a man more of a man than when he is the father of a newborn."
Fatherhood is the greatest thing that could ever happen. You can't explain it until it happens—it's like telling someone what water feels like before they've ever swam in it."
He was there when I didn't understand, he was there when I was wrong, he was there when I cried, he was there when I lied. For some reason my dad was always there, when I needed him the most."
It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life."
never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy; I didn't think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older you become the person you always should have been."
My favourite thing about being a father is just seeing my kids grow and do some of the same things that I did when I was a kid, man."
Your crazy dad has many responsibilities and wears many hats in this big ol’ world, but being your dad will always be the one I’m most proud to wear"
My kids are my greatest piece of art. If I can pump them full of amazing stuff and surround them with beautiful art and music, then I’m going to live out my life watching them"
Dadvengers is such a warm and welcoming space. The dads are absolutely hilarious and the banter is so fast
paced it’s great.
But within the blink of an eye the tables can turn, and it can become so deep and emotional. The rawness and
realness of some of the chats shatter all the myths that surround fatherhood and masculinity and just allow you to
see the human side of parenting. It’s beautiful.
Then bam, just like that they are back to joking about each other’s hair-cuts like only guys can. I am so grateful
that they let mums join in
Dadvengers has given me the confidence and motivation to begin to document life together with my son Joshua. It’s a really good outlet for us dads (and mums) to talk openly and honestly about various subjects surrounding parenting.
Great job Nigel.
