You may not believe this, but I am not the only one out there writing a Dad blog! There are some brilliant UK dad blogs out there, covering everything from everyday parenting to money, mental health, and family life.
There’s no shortage of parenting advice online but finding honest, relatable content from a dad’s point of view still feels a bit harder than it should be.
Over time, I’ve come across a mix of blogs that offer exactly that. Some are well-established, others are newer voices, but all of them bring something slightly different to the table.
If you’re looking for ideas, reassurance, or just a reminder that most of us are figuring this out as we go, these are well worth a read. Here are some of the best UK dad blogs worth following this year:
Music Football Fatherhood
Music Football Fatherhood has grown into something much bigger than a traditional blog. It’s a platform that brings together different voices and perspectives around modern fatherhood, alongside culture, identity, and everyday life.
What makes it stand out is that it doesn’t just focus on parenting tips—it looks at the bigger picture of what it means to be a dad today. If you’re after thoughtful, honest conversations rather than just quick advice, this is a good place to start.
Great for: modern perspectives on fatherhood and real conversations
Skint Dad
Skint Dad focuses on family life through the lens of budgeting, saving money, and making things work financially. It’s practical without feeling restrictive, which is probably why it’s built such a strong following over time.
What I like is that it doesn’t pretend everything is easy—it’s realistic about the challenges, especially with the cost of raising kids. If you’re trying to balance family life with rising costs, there’s a lot here that’s genuinely useful.
Great for: money-saving tips and realistic family budgeting
Yorkshire Dad
Yorkshire Dad is one of the more established blogs in the UK dad space, covering everything from family days out to product reviews and everyday parenting life.
There’s a consistency to it that makes it easy to dip into, and it feels very grounded in real experiences rather than over-polished content. It’s the kind of blog you can browse for ideas without overthinking it.
Great for: family life, reviews, and day-to-day parenting
DIY Daddy
DIY Daddy combines parenting with practical, hands-on projects around the home. From DIY jobs to family-focused content, it’s all about getting stuck in and making things work.
I’ve always found this kind of content refreshing because it shows the overlap between home life and parenting. It’s not just about entertaining the kids, it’s about building a home around them too.
Great for: practical projects and hands-on parenting
Slouching Towards Thatcham
Slouching Towards Thatcham has been around for a long time and brings a more reflective, thoughtful tone to parenting content.
There’s a lot of experience behind it, and that comes through in the writing. It’s less about quick wins and more about the bigger picture of family life, which makes it a good one to come back to.
Great for: thoughtful reflections on parenting and family life
Daddy and Dad
Daddy and Dad shares the journey of adoptive parenting from a same-sex couple, offering a perspective that’s still underrepresented in a lot of parenting spaces.
It’s honest and personal without feeling heavy, and there’s a lot to take from it whether you’re going through adoption yourself or just want to understand different family experiences.
Great for: adoption journeys and inclusive parenting perspectives
Dad Still Standing
Dad Still Standing focuses on parenting after loss, offering support and insight for those going through grief while raising children.
It’s not always an easy read, but it’s an important one. Content like this adds something real to the parenting space, especially for those who need to feel less alone in difficult situations.
Great for: grief, resilience, and emotional support in parenting
The Dad Network
The Dad Network is more of a community than a traditional blog, bringing together dads through articles, podcasts, and shared experiences.
It’s a good reminder that parenting doesn’t have to be done in isolation. There’s a strong focus on connection here, which makes it stand out from more individual-led blogs.
Great for: community, connection, and shared dad experiences
My Old Dad Diary
My Old Dad Diary offers a look into stay-at-home dad life, with a focus on honesty and the realities of day-to-day parenting.
It’s one of the more active blogs in this space at the moment, and that really shows. The content feels current and grounded, which makes it easy to relate to.
Great for: stay-at-home dad life and honest day-to-day parenting
The Office of Everyday Dad
The Office of Everyday Dad focuses on practical, real-life parenting. Covering everything from food and routines to budgeting and day-to-day family life. It’s the kind of content that feels genuinely useful without overcomplicating things.
What stands out is how grounded it is in everyday reality. It’s not about perfect parenting or unrealistic expectations—just simple, workable ideas that fit into normal family life, which makes it a great fit for anyone looking for straightforward advice that actually sticks.

👋 And this one… (The Diary of Dad)
And if you’ve made it this far, you’re already on one.
Here on The Diary of Dad, I focus on simple, realistic ways to keep kids entertained, alongside the day-to-day reality of parenting—mess, chaos, and all.
If you’re looking for low-pressure ideas that actually work in real life, that’s exactly what you’ll find here.
