Dads want their turn at bringing up the baby. Author of #DadsDontBabysit - towards #EqualParenting and Becoming a Nordic Dad. Supporting #SharedParentalLeave

[Dave Freed @DadsTurnLB]

Why is being a dad often lumped with parenting badly? Do people's expectations of dads limit us? https://t.co/thrOpJC56a #pbloggers #dad

@plusnethelp I cancelled my contract early December last year but was charged again for a full month. I’ve now received an email saying I’ll be fined if I don’t pay next month. This is a con and should be reported

In bookshops today. https://t.co/Nvp0nKDc87 Hugely proud of this book, co-authored with @DadsTurnLB We need to talk about #masculinity #fatherhood and how men are the final part of the feminist puzzle

Know an interesting fact that no one else finds interesting? Share it here!

Mine is that for the next six months the age of my kids are prime numbers: 11, 7 and 3.

It will never happen again...

Kinda like my family thinking I’m interesting...

Passing mentions for @helenlewis and @DadsTurnLB in this blog I've written to make two years since my book Dads Don't Babysit was published. With dads embracing flexible working it's more relevant than ever - https://t.co/wCycccbTEz #fatherhood #workingdads #BuildBackBetter

@PoliticalYeti Don’t let that thing out

[Dave Freed @DadsTurnLB]

@KateEMcCann Us too! If Americans can call tissues Kleenex, we can call a hoover a hoover 😉

[manwhohasitall @manwhohasitall]

How can dad keep the kids quiet while mum is on an important conference call? Suggestions please!

[manwhohasitall @manwhohasitall]

I'm getting criticism for asking this question but the point is, can Johnson serve Britain fully as a PM as well as fulfil a father’s role? If the answer is no, then he is failing in his duty to Britain. That is not about gender, it is a call about his decision to do both

[Alexandra Topping @LexyTopping]

#Sharedparenting also has massive benefits for couples - greater the father’s contribution to housework and childcare, the more satisfied BOTH parents are and the more stable their relationship. @markriceoxley69 wrote about it here: https://t.co/nneADp8ISo

[Dave Freed @DadsTurnLB]

@RedcliffeScott @paulhutcheon In less the baby is in another word, the mum is not alone. She’s with the couple’s child and after however many hours of labour is expected to look after their newborn on her own, not great conditions for recovery. That ain’t right. Dads can take their turn then

"Rights are not a zero-sum game...More rights for men to take a bigger role as fathers goes hand in hand with more rights for women. They are in fact mutually reinforcing." @DadsTurnLB @PoliticalYeti nicely put #workingparents

[Alexander von Rosenbach @TakeTheTimeDad]

Six months ago my partner and I welcomed our son into the world. Yesterday, I started my parental leave. Here's how I did on day one: https://t.co/25ssUV4Ueo

There's a lot of dads out there, so why the lack of imagination when it comes to policies for them in this year's election manifestos? Our round up of who is offering what on #flexibleworking #childcare and #paternityleave at #GeneralElection2019 https://t.co/Kd9qy1zpXr

[Ian Dinwiddy @IanDinwiddy]

Is work life balance a myth? I don't think so, but it takes effort and an understanding that there's no right answer, except the right answer for you.

My take on a tricky subject live today on @LifeDaddi
