In spite of the crucial role of fatherhood , dads have often been left out of the parenthood conversation and relegated to the role of “ breadwinner .”
If you haven ’ t heard of them already , be prepared to see awesome dads like Robert Nickell and Beau Coffron filling up your social media newsfeeds on fathercrushfriday and changing

# perceptions of fatherhood in the modern age .

Up until the mid-20th century expectant dads weren ’ t even allowed in delivery rooms , but in the 21st century , the birth of a child is a moment fathers-to-be wouldn ’ t miss for the world . When Robert Nickell , aka Daddy Nickell , remarried and started a family for the second time around , he wanted to make sure he and other dads could feel comfortable in the role of daddy from the delivery room and beyond .
So far , Daddy Nickell has succeeded in the ongoing endeavor of parenthood and entrepreneurship . Since launching Daddy & Co . in 2007 , Nickell has branched off into blogging at the Daily Daddy and working with his adult daughters to run the company and write children ’ s books .
