“Gaze not upon the unbroken line of azure presented by those who doth urinate on plastic rods, lest you meet PATERNAL DAMNATION”
– Graffiti found in an ancient Roman soft play area
Wise words indeed. Once you see that blue line, a man’s life is changed forever. It can be maddening bringing up kids, but few would argue that it isn’t worth it (presuming you’re not asking during the summer hols).
I’m Robbie. A thirty-something bloke who writes about whatever he can for a living. I became a father a few years back when my son appeared. Seemingly overnight my cutting-edge wit became groan-worthy dad jokes, my chiselled physique became a lumpy dad bod, and all-day benders became all-night bottle feeds.
Recently a baby daughter has turned up too, and before all of that there was even a stepdaughter which I agreed to feed now and again! Just who is auditing my decision-making?
Career-wise, I previously worked as a sports journalist, and later as an SEO content writer. These days I’m working for myself (worst boss I’ve ever had though, he never believes me when I ring in sick).
While this blog is primarily focused on parenting, I like to think that it also offers plenty of men’s lifestyle content too. Paternal Damnation can also now be found on MyBump2Baby, where I’m listed as one of their favourite bloggers. Hell, we’re even in Feedspot’s list of the top 15 UK dad blogs, and on Man of Many’s list of best dad blogs too!
Stop the press – I’ve just found out that we’re in Vuelio’s Top 10 UK Daddy Blogs too!
If you’re interested in working with me, then please feel free to get in touch. I’d love to hear from you!
