Hey, I'm Josh. I'm a fairly recent member on daddit and came here to make sure I could stay a part of the community. I'm dad to an almost 17-mo old girl who is full of energy and who is learning new words every day. My wife and I are navigating the balance between two careers, and being fairly new to both homeownership and parenthood. It's a lot right now, but mostly it's good.

Welcome, Josh!

Careers, homeownership, and kids IS a lot. 17 months is right around when I started to enjoy being a dad. Keep it up, you got this.

[Ventorro]

Hello everyone! Dad to a 19months old- which comes with many ups and downs, but thoroughly treasuring this Dad journey.

Hopefully Reddit sort out their BS, but atleast we have this.

Hey all, I am a dad to a 16mo old, and I have another on the way! T-5months. I wanted to stay with this great community so I am joining everyone here.

Greetings from MN. I’ve been on Daddit for like 6 years and now have 4 kids age 7 and under. I’m committed lol. Happy to be here or wherever fellow awesome dads are.

We have both been full time since the start and it’s crazy. Feels like we only have 4 hours per day with our kids (4 kids) and it sucks. Summer weekends help, but I honestly just want to be with my kids all the time. Well…most of the time. Sometimes I want to drink by a bonfire or play Skyrim, but you know, otherwise all of the time.

[zataks]

Welcome, folks! Im glad you're here!

[Parsiuk]

Hi all! Father of two daughters reporting in. Thank you for setting up the forum.

[AZDad]

I'm Richard, dad to twin boys, ages 2.5 and a 5 year old daughter. Live in Phoenix, and loe being a dad. It's tough but the most worthwhile thing I've ever done.

[zataks]

Welcome, Parsiuk, AZDad!

Glad you found us.

[Daddyco]

Hi all, I'm Matt. Dad to an almost 6 year old little girl. I would be really great to have a good forum of dads going! If you need any help with it, my wife is a full time web developer and started in php and I'm in the process of a career change into development.

[zataks]

Hi Matt! Mike here.

Welcome! This is my first forum and 'real' web hosting. I've done a very tiny amount of free hosting but this is a paid hosting and domain I bought.

I'm interested in setting up a site maybe as a blog just so I can learn the dev process without using a web site builder. I know some Python and love SQL/data but most of the work our department does is low code/no code.

Hey All!

Father of three just introducting my self. I work in data analytics at fortune 500 company in the midwest and in my spare time I've recently started a blog about dad life. I'm constantly running all around town taking my kids to sporting events, practices and the likes.

HTTP://WWW.WHAT-THE-DAD.COM- feedback always welcome.

[zataks]

Welcome, B!

I've started blogging too, along with this forum. Only just started. I think it's more for a minor outlet as I used to write frequently but haven't in years.

Whats your overall goal for the blog, any desire for monetization?

Whats your overall goal for the blog, any desire for monetization?

Honestly, I just want a bigger community here because I prefer not to go to Reddit any more for my dad related interwebbing. And, as mentioned, I used to write frequently as it helps me process things. I stopped for a long time and I think it's probably better for my well-being if I continue it. So I thought I'd give it a try.

I've also never hosted anything before. So, in starting this forum, I bought web hosting and wanted to play around so am trying to learn a bit of HTML and CSS.

Are you using an LLM tool for creating content? You're incredibly prolific

hey yall - Alex here, dad to a 2yo -- tbh I posted a piece to r/dadit that was removed bc it had links at the bottom and it made me realize I need to be more active in the sub (I usually just read the posts)

and then I found my way here so hello.

dad to a 2yo currently next to me watching TV and admiring his toenails which my wife painted yesterday yellow and purple lol

[zataks]

Welcome Alex!

I try to be pretty quick on removed posts from legit accounts but I crushed a finger Friday and have been in the hospital since so haven't done anything on Reddit .

Painted nails are fun. I used to paint mine when I was white water raft guiding.

I'm getting discharged soon and saw there are ten new episodes of Bluey so that's what I'm watching with my kiddos tonight.
