What The Daddy Craft is NOT

I like to visit new blogs from time to time.  As a new blogger I'm always looking at how others have designed their blogs and what kinds of content they have.  Well, tonight, as I was clicking around on a few new-to-me blogs, I noticed a few things I don't like. 

First, though, let me clearly state what The Daddy Craft is; a simple blog written by a dad, for other dads (or any parent for that matter).  That's it, really.  I hope my posts are insightful, whether they are helpful or not is up to you.  I don't expect everyone to agree with everything I write; in fact, I really don't want you to.  What I want is to get you to start thinking.  Start thinking about what you do and whether it's a good way to do it or not.  If it is not, then change it.  I won't always be nice or kind, but I will always write from my heart.  I will never tell you exactly what to do, but will instead provide instructions and guidelines for you to incorporate into your parenting style.

Now, what have I seen out there that I don't like?  Well, a lot!  I repeatedly find web content that is too foofoo.  Much like the parenting books that I've seen, it's all too fluffy and cute.  And then there are the ads.  I don't like seeing ads for OTC medications, diapers, new cars and free credit reports flashing across the screen while trying to read what might actually be good material.  It's like watching TV but having all the commercials playing at the same time, while the show is airing!  It's too distracting and quite frankly, annoying.  Understandably these are people just trying to write something good and hopefully make some money while doing it. 

I get it though, I really do.  You just won't find it here.
