A dad of four, trying to find love. Form an orderly queue, ladies…
Today is a big day in the Dating Dad household; it's back to school day. The day when I pack my children off with their shiny new lunchboxes and polished shoes to go back into school after the long summer break. Of course, this year it's been longer than most summers as it started way... Continue Reading →
One of my favourite phrases is one I learned when I took part in a sailing race a few years ago: A calm sea doesn’t make for a skilled mariner As with learning more from defeat than from victory, it points out that the more challenging the situation, the more you learn about it and...

7.30am Sounds like some of the kids are stirring downstairs, I can hear them in the kitchen making breakfasts. I hope they don't make loads of mess again. Shall I get up now? My first meeting isn't until 10.00am, so there's no need for a super early start. Nah, I'm going to make the most... Continue Reading →
Time for a midweek parenting tale to break the monotony of dating posts, with "break" being the operative word. I've led a fairly charmed life when it comes to serious injuries. Until I started playing Australian Rules Football in my twenties I'd never broken a single bone in my body. Even now, all I've done... Continue Reading →
Recently I found myself chatting with someone I'd met online. The number of kids I have came up as we chatted and flirted and talked about setting up a date, along with the fact that they're not sure they could take on that many and survive. This is not an uncommon issue - probably half... Continue Reading →
Double lazy post alert! Earlier in the week you may have seen me sharing some of my Twitter posts with y'all. In that first post I shared mostly posts about dating and being single, but that's only half of what this blog is about. Today comes some other posts looking at my constant struggles with...

It's been a couple of weeks since I last posted; it's been Easter and I've been on full-time daddy duties for a fortnight. We've been out on adventures, enjoyed days indoors watching movies and had fun as a little five-strong family. I actually almost missed the fact that 9 April 2018 marked my year anniversary...

Over the past 12 months or so I've well and truly found my dating feet. Prior to that I hadn't dated in a long, long time; in fact, arguably, I'd never actually dated in my life. As a teenager you don't really date, you just lead some weird, experimental lifestyle before you cop off with... Continue Reading →
Just when you think you've got things sorted... Things were settled. We are co-parenting with a 50/50 split on our kids time. Well, I say co-parenting; we are parenting separately and sharing essential information about the kids, but it's the best we can do for now. I was starting to plan out my year, was...

Yesterday in the UK was Father’s Day, a typically overblown corporate sponsored event designed to shift boxer shorts, novelty ties and as many soft rock compilation CDs as possible. I celebrated it in as close to traditional style as possible – I was treated to breakfast in bed, got a few presents and went out... Continue Reading →
