DIYdads is an online interactive forum for dads that offers practical information about parenting from a male perspective.

DIYDads blog was born to recognised the need for a dedicated website for fathers. Based on Our own experiences of struggling to find useful parenting related information specifically aimed at dads We created DIYDads.

The main purpose of this website is to assist men to become the best fathers they can be. The Blog aims to :
1. To use real life stories to inspire and encourage fathers to spend time with their children.
2. To provide practical examples and support every father independent of their parenting choices.
3. To reach fathers through online social networking.

Ultimately, it was created for the DADS.

I grow up with a father who did not talk much. I don't say that with grief or sorrow, because it was that i myself is a quiet one. Still, as a father of two, I still wondering about how I to go about this thing called fathering.

I was brought up in a family with no canning, shouting or disciplinary in my memory. My father never use canning or harsh word in discipline us. My father still concern about our well being thought he is already 75 years old.I guess this is fathering. We are always his little kids.

This blog DIYdads is to get in touch with other fathers to find out how they are doing it.

So i will like to welcome all dads to this blog to share and comments.
