#DadsRT: A Round Table of Dads

The Dads of the Round Table are a merry bunch of men. Some may consider us a motley crew, a posse of bandits, or even blogging rebels. But we are more than the sum of our parts; we became something bigger than ourselves… a community. The seven of us,  The Rookie, The SaskaDad, the Dad in Charge, Team BPD, Brad the Dad, the Founded Father, and myself have become a band of brothers.

However, when we stared the Dads Round Table, we did not start it for us, or even for dads; we started it for people. We are here for moms, dads, brothers, sisters, grandparents, children, and anyone else. In fact, our only prerequisite is that you have a heartbeat. There is already a great post that sheds light on the fact that it is Dads Round Table and not Dad’s Round Table.

At the core of our purpose is community. We enjoy chatting about life with one another and with you. We do this through comments on the articles posted and through our weekly Round Table Discussions both on the blog and on #DadsRT on Wednesday nights.

Our views are not the same and we come from different backgrounds and countries, but the way we think about and discuss issues is the same; we value discussion and debate. This Round Table has no “official” stance on any subject. I don’t say that because we don’t want to alienate anyone, but its because you NEED those opposing viewpoint in order to have an ACTUAL discussion about anything.

We may be a group of dads who have a community with DADS in the name, but we are here for anyone and everyone.
