@Notjustfordads Great article pal. Totally get the stigma and though attitudes are changing on the Dad role, like most things, it takes time. Bit of a bummer about the health care worker attitude though...

[Parenting Fo' Pas @parentingfopas]

@The_Procras_Mum Such an important subject. Natural for labels like "baby blues"and" PND" to be used but feelings can't be pigeon-holed neatly into boxes and feelings post-birth can range massively and on a such a wide ranging scale. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

@DaddyandDadBlog Totally this. Uk media is a bit crazy on the Queen and Co. and suggesting the nation must feel like they've lost one of their own family is a bit OTT but.... Irrespective of who he was, a wife has just lost her husband of 70+ years and that must feel so desperately devastating 😔

We men ignore a lot of our health issues, but one health issue you should pay attention to is #prostate problems. https://t.co/Djv3zywyuI #cancer #menshealth

@AgainDadding I don't think you can really say you are a Dad until this happens.

@LauraSummers Great work! Have been sat on about 30000 words for what feels like years... Wonder if there's a market for half written books where the reader can decide the ending for themselves...?

[Parenting Fo' Pas @parentingfopas]

@TheDTblogs Done!

@fatherreloaded Keeping everything crossed for you man

[Parenting Fo' Pas @parentingfopas]

In its purest form, parenting is knowing that picking up the toy is a waste of your time as you'll be doing it again moments later; then doing it anyway thousands of times a day

@Daddy_stories That cat has got to go...

[Parenting Fo' Pas @parentingfopas]

Does anyone else get uncontrollable rage when changing nappies and trying to get one wet wipe out of the container and a huge clump of the things come out at once. I honestly cannot describe the anger I feel every time it happens. Exhibit A

@Daddy_stories 😂 Just make sure they take their watch off first...

If anyone wants further detail on sleep training I'm happy to talk through in more detail. Would definitely recommend sleep training with Lucy Wolfe if your little one(s) are struggling with sleep

Night 10: next stage of #stayandsupport sleep training is to move further away from the cots. We did and were only up for 2 feeds and they slept through from 2-7am 🙌🙌🙌. Almost ready to sleep in our own bed in a separate room. So proud of our little smashers😍

Night 11,12,13: pro's - we are downstairs watching TV after putting them down for 2 hours in the evening 😀😀
Negatives: Lucie has started waking every 3 hours (hoping its a development phase and will pass) 😬😬 and I thought supporting Arsenal was tough...

@threetimedaddy Right, I've emptied , but leave your back door ajar as I may have another load in a minute

[Parenting Fo' Pas @parentingfopas]

@FoaleFOTD It's a tricky one isn't it. In my experience standing up to them can work but I think there's room to try and understand first where possible. Though I'm only talking theoretically, not sure how rational I could be with mine in the moment

[Parenting Fo' Pas @parentingfopas]

@threetimedaddy Christ this is hard, my Dad said he'd give us a hand if we'd like...

[Parenting Fo' Pas @parentingfopas]

@threetimedaddy Don't just ram it in if it doesn't fit!

[Parenting Fo' Pas @parentingfopas]

@Daddy_stories If you can get to them needing to change you 20+ times a day, you've won! 😂
