DILF host, Kevin Seldon, provides an update on our upcoming third season, and announces the launch of a new nonprofit called ALL PARENTS WELCOME (APW) — a global coalition of parents working to create more support and inclusivity within parenting culture. To learn more about APW or to sign up to join the coalition, visit https://join.apw.ngo

Kevin also discusses what he’s been working on since the end of DILF season 2 — the creation of new book: a sanity-saving guide to better support the new dads, providing the tools needed to become the type of actively-engaged, emotionally-evolved parent that every partner and child needs and deserves. SO, if you’re a new or expectant parent, or a dad who could have ever used more support, or a mom who wishes your partner had more resources to better support you and themselves… this is your opportunity to make that a reality for new parents across the globe with 100% of net proceeds donated back to APW. To contribute (every little bit helps), visit https://daffy.apw.ngo

What began as a space to curb one dad’s loneliness, has now become a global platform reminding parents that no matter what they are dealing with on their parenting journey, they are not alone. Having broken onto Apple’s Top 50 Parenting Podcast charts around the world as well as recently hitting #6 on the US charts, DILF is moving the conversation beyond life with kids to focus more on the life of a human, who happens to be a parent… and how to thrive while attempting to be the best version of ourselves.

Could fewer toys inspire more creativity in our children?

Kevin welcomes fellow dad and constant innovator, Elan Lee (co-creator of Exploding Kittens — one of the most successful kickstarter campaigns of all time)for a candid conversation on everything from the benefits of creating resource limitations for our children and the importance of charting our own path (both in life and parenthood)… to maintaining a sense of balance with all life throws at us while remaining an actively involved parent and partner.

Have you ever taken on too much without asking for any help and then felt over-burdened? If so, you are not alone. It seems to be a far too common occurrence in many co-parenting relationships.

In the latest installment of DILF’s CoParenting Series, Kevin welcomes back his partner/co-parent to discuss everything from struggles with martyrdom to the importance of empowering our partners and kids for their own well-being… and our own!

The post The Curse of Martyrdom (DILF’s Co-Parenting Series) appeared first on DILF (Dad I'd Like To FRIEND).

We don’t often hear about parenting from the perspective of a dad. And all of those outdated stereotypes and internet memes only work to divide moms and dads, when in reality, we all have a lot more in common than the world often presents. In this DILF REPLAY, we revisit where it all began with an episode celebrating ALL that unites us as parents… if we allow ourselves a moment to see things from a fresh perspective.
