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."
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."
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"
I first found out about the Dadvengers through an Instagram post under a hashtag that I followed for Dads. It was the caption that caught my attention as the topics for the first Dadvengers live chat was so relatable. I think it is now 13 weeks on since then and I have loved every single one. I've met and discussed parenting and family life with a variety of people, even from different countries from different walks of life. I've got to know many of the people involved and I am privileged to say they are friends and look forward to the possible meet ups to finally meet them in person. The experiences and stories from other parents has been eye opening. Some I haven't experienced myself and hearing how they dealt with their struggles is inspiring. Sharing my own opinions and experience from parenting with my own children and step children in hope I can offer some help and guidance to other parents like I have received. The Dadvengers community has grown in an amazing way and it is amazing to be a part of this community, especially for the Friday night banter like we are all a bunch of friends down the pub.
Thank you Dadvengers.
I can't speak more highly about Dadvengers! In a time where the opportunities for mums to meet and talk can be commonplace, the online space offered by Dadvengers is invaluable for dads. Whilst being led by dads, the Friday night 'Dad Chats Live’ offer all parents and carers the chance to meet
and talk about a range of parenting topics in a safe and non-judgmental environment. As a dad myself, I found the ability to just listen and learn, or contribute when I felt comfortable, really important and I'll continue to encourage the wide range of dads I meet to seriously consider going along to a Dad Chats Live.
