Hi everyone,  my name is Michael and I decided to start a blog for dads who are 55 and older. 

I am 57 years old and I have a 18 month old daughter along with a 30 year old son. I know, pretty weird. This forum hopefully will allow me to vent some of my frustrations with how dads at this age are perceived as well as allow people to connect with their own trials and tribulations. 

Please note that this is to celebrate the joy and happiness these beautiful children. I will try my best to post on a regular basis and please feel to comment. Talk to you soon. 

We encourage you to engage with our content. Leave comments, share posts on social media, and subscribe to our newsletter for the latest updates and insights. Let's build a supportive community together.
