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.
