A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma.

Welcome to DadCafe...

...a site for the father-to-be or new father to have the virtual equivalent of a relaxing drink.

Personally, I became a daddy for the first time in September 2002 but even before then I felt my life changing, not least due to the gradual decrease of storage and living space. This decrease seemed to perfectly match the increase in my wife's appetite and the monthly food bill. The bills didn't go down after the birth either but then neither did my excitement about having a child. This site is my attempt to pass on that enthusiasm to any other new dad or dad-to-be.

Please enjoy...
