So how do we start? Maybe a little explanation. Yes, that sounds like a good plan. Some idea of what the hell is going on might help. So, yes, let's start with that.
This blog has been started purely with the intent of chronicling my experiences of being a NotDad. There, glad we got that sorted.
...oh, wait, that's not quite explained everything yet, has it? Some of you won't know what a NotDad is. And the rest of you have probably worked it out but would really like me to patronise you a bit longer. So in the interest of keeping everyone happy I will explain further.
You see, I had this friend. My best friend. My best friend who was also a lady. And after awhile me and my best friend realised we were more than best friends. So it came to be that this best friend who was also a lady became my lady.
...but that's not all. Because my lady has a little boy. A little, geeky, mini-mosher of a boy. He's eight years old at time of writing this and he's become a huge part of my life. So I've stepped up and taken him on as part of my responsibilities. Because I love My Lady and, well, I love the MiniMosher.
Thing is though, I'm not his dad, not technically. And I suppose if we are being technical then I'm not actually his stepdad either. Not yet anyway. And even if was or even if I do become that I've never liked the word "StepDad". It's so stuffy. It's also kind of condescending, like it's a word that's supposed to remind you of your place. No, it's just not for me and it's not for us.
So my friends; Welcome to my adventure of being a NotDad.
