Welcome to Single Dad Central! My name is Andy P. and I’m a single dad! Wow, that sounds like I’m part of part of a 12-step program, doesn’t it? Well, I can assure you that this isn’t a 12-step self-help program with meetings. But, I created this blog to help all single dads improve their knowledge of the things we do for ourselves and our kids.
A little history
When I first became a single dad I had a mixture or emotions and thoughts. Suddenly, I needed to dust off old skills that I hadn’t used in awhile, like dating and cooking or prioritizing other skills like my emotional or physical health. Despite the early challenges, I found ways to manage this and still be a good and confident dad for my young daughter. I spent a lot of time online researching and trying different things to be the best version of myself that I could be for both my daughter and myself.
Well, the good news is, I have learned a lot and I’m still learning. The bad news is I wished there was one place where I could find this information out so I could save time, which we all know is one of a parent’s most valuable resources, single or not!
My mission
The goal of Single Dad Central is to be a place where single dads can find the information they need to be the best dad they can be for themselves and their family. I will provide the information and strategies that have helped me along the way as well as provide product reviews of different products of interest to single dads. Some of the topics you might find here at Single Dad Central are cooking, fitness, dating, and keeping a positive,mental attitude. No matter where you find yourself in your single dad journey, a newbie or an experienced single dad, I hope you can find even one tip or piece of information that can help you and your family. That’s my mission!
