The Edge of Parental Sanity

Welcome to Dad on the Brink — a parenting blog brought to you by a man who hasn’t finished a hot coffee since his toddler learned how to climb furniture.

I’m a dad of three: one delightful little chaos goblin (toddler), and two teenagers who only acknowledge my existence when the Wi-Fi is down or the fridge is empty. I started this blog partly as a creative outlet, partly as therapy, and mostly because my partner was tired of hearing me rant and suggested I “go write it down somewhere.”

This isn’t a parenting advice site. I’m not here to tell you how to raise your kids — I’m just here to survive raising mine and overshare the experience. If you’re a sleep-deprived parent wondering if it’s just you: it’s not. You’re not alone, and yes, that smell is probably something in the nappy bin.
Think of this as a weekly reminder that even when you’re one meltdown away from becoming a headline, at least you can laugh about it later. Or cry-laugh. That counts too.
