About Me

Hi, I’m John Andrews—father, husband, and navigator of the beautiful chaos that is modern parenting. Welcome to Modern Dads, a space where I share the real, unfiltered experiences of fatherhood in the 21st century.

My Family

I’m blessed to be married to my incredible wife Sarah, and together we’re raising two amazing kids: Emily, our spirited 9-year-old daughter, and Liam, our energetic 6-year-old son. Every day is an adventure, a learning experience, and a reminder of how much parenting has evolved.

Why Modern Dads?

In a world where traditional parenting roles are constantly shifting, fathers today face unique challenges and opportunities. Modern Dads isn’t just a blog—it’s a community, a support network, and a platform for honest conversation about the joys and struggles of contemporary fatherhood.

When I became a dad, I quickly realized that the roadmap for modern fathers looks nothing like the one our own fathers followed. We’re expected to be more involved, emotionally present, and balanced than ever before. We’re navigating complex territories of work-life integration, shared parenting responsibilities, emotional intelligence, and breaking generational patterns.

What You’ll Find Here

On Modern Dads, I dive deep into topics that matter to fathers today:

  • Balancing career and family
  • Emotional support and communication with children
  • Co-parenting strategies
  • Mental health and self-care for fathers
  • Navigating technology and screen time
  • Creating meaningful family connections
  • Challenging and reimagining traditional masculinity

Through personal stories, practical advice, expert insights, and candid reflections, I aim to create a supportive space where fathers can learn, grow, and feel less alone in their parenting journey.

My Promise

Modern Dads is built on authenticity. I won’t pretend to have all the answers, but I commit to sharing genuine experiences, learning alongside you, and creating a judgment-free zone where fathers can be vulnerable, seek support, and celebrate the incredible role of modern fatherhood.

Whether you’re a new dad, an experienced parent, or simply curious about contemporary family dynamics, there’s a place for you here. Let’s navigate this wild, wonderful journey of fatherhood together.

Welcome to Modern Dads—where real fathers, real challenges, and real love come together.

John Andrews

Stay-at-Home Dad

After graduating with a degree in English Literature from the University of Washington in 2010, John pursued a career in writing, focusing on family dynamics and modern parenting. When his first child, Emily, was born, John and his wife, Sarah, embraced the adventure of parenthood together.

Determined to play an active role in his children’s lives, John made the decision to become a full-time caregiver, immersing himself in the joys and challenges of stay-at-home fatherhood. With the arrival of Liam, their second child, John’s days became a whirlwind of laughter, tears, and endless learning experiences.
