Well done to the pair of you for finding balance. We’re still struggling over here. All my best to you both! -charlie, HowToBeADad.com

It’s hard to look back and reassess on the basis of what could’ve been. I certainly don’t enjoy doing that, though I have and probably will.

Thank you for your comment. -charlie, HowToBeADad.com

There are tons of interesting dads in the digital parenting space nowadays. Marketers are noticing this shift from the female-centered buying trend to a more equal footing.
