This Daddy


I bet I could use my many years of Interneting to find out his real name, but I guess for now This Daddy will do... Actually I did just find out his name. I'm getting good at this game.

This Daddy's Blog is one of those rare corners of the Internet that is all too overlooked, because genuine posts and opinions are making way for niche-seekers and gimmicks. While the rest of us search for Twitter followers, Google+ circlers, and that new Facebook Top Story spot, This Daddy uses his blog to connect, to think in public, and to discuss his challenges and his triumphs. Remember the Internet was about communication before it was a trigger for booms and busts.

As usual, I hope to get a hundred new people to visit the blog, but I'll be happy if it's just one, so hopefully you'll be that one. Go to This Daddy's Blog, subscribe, follow on Twitter, and comment every once in a while. I'll appreciate it, This Daddy will appreciate it, and the Internet will appreciate it.

This Daddy














A Blogger and a Father

  3. I just saw his blog and I love his article on childhood obesity. He isn't sided on who to blame and just states facts. I will check this blog often.

  5. This Daddy, glad you liked it. And I'm also with you on the temper thing, which with or without spanking is a bad thing for the kids and the parent. My dad had a terrible temper, and then last year he had the inevitable heart attack, so I'm trying to be cool, but it's not easy... At least I'm glad to know I'm not the only one struggling.

  7. Spanking will only make your child feel unloved. I support both of you. No to spanking daddies and mommies.

  8. I just thought (out of curiosity) why do bloggers like you want to hide your real name?

  9. Williamsport, I think neither of us is really anonymous, first of all. It took me five minutes to find This Daddy's name, and my name is actually in the Contact Me tab. In general, though, I think it's just about freedom. We're so used to the identities we've created all our lives that we end up restricted by these identities. We feel we can't write what we want to write because The Real Us wouldn't have written that, so ironically, an alias helps people be more honest in their writing.

  10. Hi love your blog. There is not many good blogs for fathers out there that are as well descriptive as yours! Ive started one up for here in Australia. Its about fathers and there rights. I also have a petition there for people to sign so that father that deserve 50/50 shared living arrangements can get it.
    Keep up the good work
    Cheers

  11. I like how you share other blogs with fatherhood as a theme. You are never afraid of competition because you know people loves your blog and will always do. :)

  16. Hi there. I actually agree with other people saying that sometimes it is better to make use of a pseudonym when writing because doing that will certainly bring out the best there is in you. That actually worked for writers in the past and take note they are the best authors we've known in the world. Yours is a good one though.

  17. "Remember the Internet was about communication before it was a trigger for booms and busts."

    Yes! I'm getting tired of all the fakery going on in the internet. So much advertising, so much marketing! But it's what pays the bills for me, :(

  19. I love this! Dad's blogging....all I see are mommy's blogging, which is interesting, but I like to see the other side of the parental unit. Glad I found your blog. :)
