Having introduced this blog to the world, I suppose I had better explain why I am doing it and give a bit more information. I shall answer in a business-like question and answer format:
Q) Why are you writing this blog?
A) I think there are very few men in my position, i.e. prepared (or having) to be the primary carer for their children. I think men in this position might want to share the experience and women might find it interesting. I could, of course, be entirely wrong and this experiment with social media could fall flat on its face!
Q) What inspired you to write this blog?
A) A male work colleague has a son three months younger than Helen. We used to chat a lot about pregnancy, the birth-giving experience, parenting and the like. As Helen was the older child he was always keen to hear what was going on in our household. A couple of weeks ago he suggested that I produce a book on parenting. That struck me as a little ambitious but I liked the idea of writing something and so here we are (...although I wouldn't rule out doing a book if the opportunity arose).
Q) Why all the assumed names and, crucially, why have you named yourself after a Boney M song?
A) Good questions. This is possibly going to sound hypocritical but I want to protect my family’s privacy. As for naming myself after a Boney M song, it was the first available user name I could find. I'm not convinced it was a good choice but I'm stuck with it now!
Q) Where are you based?
A) Greater London, United Kingdom.
I think those are the main points to answer. Any questions then just ask. I'll be back with an updated entry soon.
