About Me

Daddy.......Daddy Cool
Welcome to my blog.

Some bloggers and tubers prioritise the "serious", but not me. I leave "serious" to those who do it better.

I'm a humble British father and husband, blogging and YouTubing about my life. As you can tell, I opt for a "relaxed" writing approach. 

Like many, the pandemic of 2020 forced me to "work from home".  Life got crazy, as I adjusted to a new working dynamic.

Upon reflection, I'm grateful. I gained precious time at home with my wife and two sons. 

Out of global misery, I built the blog and started writing again. I expanded my mind, read books and pursued old hobbies and interests.

Just when I thought I was done, we got pregnant again! And my wife gave birth to a baby girl in November 2023.

What you'll read here, is an honest and fatherly perspective on life. I'm a advocate of self-improvement and achieving goals. Perhaps you'll find value? Perhaps I'll make you think? Who knows!

There's a therapeutic appeal to blogging. Maybe my children will read it one day, and understand how the old man ticked? Or should that be TikTok'd?

I try to post regularly, when life isn't too hectic! If you like my blog, please check-out my Instagram account @cyberdadblog 

Thanks again

Cyber Dad

Surviving Valentine's Day

Image
Always remember the card! Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.  Once again, the pandemic obliterates our happiness. No fancy restaurants or dates tonight. No chance of packing the kids off to Nana's. No peace and quiet. Thank you Mr Covid! In these dire times, be grateful to have retained love in a pandemic. According to latest sources,  the pandemic has caused an International spike in relationship break-ups .  Sadly, it doesn't surprise me. The present strains on parents and relationships is next-level. Tonight I seek solace with a "Dine In" meal from  Marks & Spencers . Where no doubt, as usual, we'll find ourselves drunkenly reminiscing about the night we met and stories of early dates.  Contrary to popular belief, men enjoy the occasion too. Even exhausted dads like myself! So if you can, for one night, embrace Valentine's Day and park the bullsh*t to one side. Chill, relax and treat the better half with some gifts. Read on, for my views about love ...

Returning To The Office: A Parent Perspective

Image
"Lord Sugar will see me now." Exciting news, I went back to the office! It's one day. But technically, I'm back, and it feels great. The day arrived, where Dad would battle henceforth and mingle in the city. It took my youngest son by surprise. Why was dad leaving the house? Are we going to war? Has mum kicked him out? No dear boy, this is how the world works! He was just eighteen-months, in March 2020, when we entered lockdown. There's a "lost" generation who don't understand pre-pandemic protocols, or ever seeing their fathers in suits. But  "the times they are a-changin'" (Dylan, 1964) . Some parents are tormented by the "return to office" dilemma. Routines and childcare arrangements may change. But frankly, I'm happy and this is why. The Commuting Experience Thumbs-up to commuting! Strangely, I enjoy my commute. To some, commuting feels unnecessary or unproductive. Or time that could be used better. But would you ever ...

Becoming A Dad (Again), In My 40s

Image
Doing it all again. Shall we have another baby? Oh, why not! Was I too old for another child? Did I possess the mental energy for more parenting adventures? After raising two boys, I believed the parenting journey may be over. I was past forty, so questions about age and energy levels linger. In fairness, I'm in decent physical shape. I exercise regularly and eat healthier than most dads I know. I have worked hard to avoid the dangers of the "dad-bod" physique and bad clothing choices. It's wonderful to be a dad, but terrible to look like a dad. Because invariably, looking like a dad, can mean you've let yourself go. That's not a judgement on anybody. But I'm a better dad, when I am in good mental and physical shape. During 2023, my wife and I, had the "conversation." Could we do it all again? Were our finances equipped for more sprogs? Did we have the stamina for night-feeds, nappy changes and sleep depravation? There are no "perfect moment...
