100 doses of wisdom for all the tired dads out there. You aren’t alone in pursuing what matters most: showing up for your family.
If you’re a tired dad, that likely means that you’re a good dad. It means you're tired from parenting, not of parenting. Jon Gustin, a writer, content creator, and dad of two, has been tired since his first child was born. He grew up hearing messages that emphasized career pursuits, stoic masculinity, and that being a financial provider is the sole purpose of fatherhood. But Gustin, like many modern fathers, is pushing back on that narrative.
Gustin’s simple message in The Tired Dad is “keep showing up.” To be cherished in your children’s memories tomorrow, be present today. And dads, you don't have to do it alone. Whether you’re a sleep-deprived new dad, a dad working to raise emotionally resilient kids, or a dad of teens trying to figure out how to connect with your kids as they grow more independent, there’s something here that will resonate, challenge, and inspire you, no matter the age, stage, or season.
The Tired Dad reminds you that the monumental effort you’re spending to love, care for, and connect with your kids is not wasted (even if it sometimes feels that way). In these 100 reflections short enough to gulp down with your morning coffee, you’ll find a shot of inspiration that fits into your busy schedule, thought-provoking enough to stick with you throughout the day, and lasting enough to make a difference in your kids’ lives.
You’re doing a good job, Dad. Keep showing up. It matters.
