Being an older dad at 55 with toddlers has been a humbling experience. Countless times, people have mistaken me for the grandparent when addressing my kids with comments like, "Oh, isn't it great to be out with your grandpa?" Even when my teen daughter was in high school, she shared how, in public, people assumed the toddlers were her children. Some even thought she had moved back home, expecting us to help raise them. The misconceptions add a unique layer to our family dynamics.
Pure gold for Dads. (18yo, 4yo, and twin 3yo)
Thanks Doom! HMU if you have any ideas for a guest post. Would LOVE to have your perspective.

I'd love 500 or so words (or more!) on that whole idea, if you're into it?! LMK
