Dad The F*ck Up
365 Days of Showing Up Like the Father They'll Brag About · 386 pages · paperback / hardcover / kindle
Not a parenting theory book. 365 days of being the dad who shows up, in the plainest language available.
A year of daily pages for fathers, field-tested on two actual children. No attachment styles, no studies. One page a day about presence: phone in the car, get on their level, be at the thing. The examples read like they happened that morning, because they probably did.
Look Inside
Actual pages from my copy. This is what the book looks like.
What You Get
- 365 daily pagesOne dad mission per day, finishable before bedtime. Most cost nothing but attention.
- Themed monthsIt opens with Show Up and works through the whole job, toddler chaos to teenager silence.
- GatesMonthly checkpoint pages. You score the month you actually gave them, not the one you meant to.
- Boss fightsThe hard ones get their own pages. Provider is not the same as present.
- A real endingThere is no Day 366. By then showing up is not a program anymore, it is who you are.
Who It Is For
Fathers at any stage, from the back seat years to the closed bedroom door years. Also works preemptively: I am not a father and I read the whole thing and called my own dad twice that month, unprompted.

Webmaster's Note
The tone is drill sergeant on the outside, completely soft on the inside. Like the target reader.
