The Realest Dad Blog Out There

UK Dad Blogger and Parenting Writer
Mr Dad Hacks Himself

I’m Alistair. A UK based dad blogger and new father to a gorgeous baby daughter. I started this dad blog as I feel there aren’t many honest and genuine resources available to new or expectant fathers.

This dad blog is the antithesis of other parenting advice blogs. You won’t find any smoke screens, Instagram fakeness, or feigned thoughts and feelings here.

I aim to document the reality of fatherhood as accurately as possible, warts and all. Contained within you will find honest reviews of essential dad equipment, opinions, advice, and my parenting experiences to date.

If you have any questions, please reach out and contact me.

Yours Faithfully, Alistair x
