Activities with children that don’t break the bank can be a struggle for a Part-Time-Dad, as a PTD I am sometimes over keen to please.

However I have learnt it’s not about the money I spend on my children that makes for a great day but rather the quality of time spent with each of my children.

Quality time with my 13 year old son Christian

What to do with a young man who given the chance would be happy to play video games all day?
Easy I don’t own any video games, so what can I do?
With Wellington weather being cold, wet and windy what a better way to enjoy some quality time with my boy, than going fishing. ... read more >>

A Podcast hosted on International Dad featuring show hosts Scott Lancaster and co-hosts Eric Mooij and Stefan Korn from DIYFather.com.

Today guest is Dr. Bruce Linton, Founder of the Fathers’ Forum.



From the pregnancy on I realized that there were very few services both educationally or socially for me to meet with other men and hear about their experiences as fathers. In 1983 with a few other new fathers I started a men’s group for new dads. From that experience I became aware of how essential having a dialogue between men about fatherhood is to understanding and valuing are roles as parents. ... read more >>

In celebration of Father's Day, the filmmakers behind the "Evolution of Dad" documentary project filmed close to 150 people around New York City, talking about their dads. The interviews are touching, funny and sometimes heartbreaking. We hope you enjoy the videos and share them with those you care about this Father's Day.


Happy Father's Day to all the father's celebrating their special day this coming Sunday.

Don't forget to call your father

Warm Regards

- Eric

An article was submitted to DIYFather by one of the many mother's sites online. The article is dedicated to fathers on their special day "Father's Day".

However this article in my view is not dedicated to men or even written for men as an audience but rather an attempt to be-little men as fathers to their female readers.

...These were just two examples of the fathers in the animal kingdom. Fathers I mean human fathers this time; have more responsibilities towards their kids and they strive to fulfil them in a rather clumsy way [no offense dads!]just to please their little ones, which is admirable and cute most of the time I should say… so in order to appreciate them in a special way Father's day is celebrated every third Sunday of the month of June...read the whole article

But then why send it to DIYFather??? clearly DIYFather is a site solely dedicated to Men as Fathers, so mothers really think it is acceptable to belittle our abilities as fathers? ... read more >>

It may not be Father's Day today, but as a father it is great to hear the appreciation and love for fathers.

Call your father
