My Favorite Divorced Dad Blogs 

Tell me if I’m wrong, but there aren’t too many single dads out there writing blogs. C’mon guys, where are you? Speak up, please.

Trey Ellis, one of my favorite single dad bloggers, kindly responded to my email in 2005, after I wrote to him. I’d just read his brilliant Modern Love column in the New York Times — “Who’s That Lady in the Bedroom, Daddy?“– and sent him an email…

Trey is raising his kids on his own in NYC, and he was such a sweetheart to bring his kids to my Barnes & Noble reading in Manhattan this year. You can count on Trey for keeping it real.

Robert Boyd is a freshly-divorced dad at the new site Divorce360 who writes about everything from surviving the holidays alone to “fun things not involving squirrels.”

For a more nuts and bolts single dad blog, check out Jorge Fitz-Gibbon, who writes a single parenting blog for his upstate New York newspaper. You’ve got to admire Jorge for his civil co-parenting relationship with this ex-wife, and his blended family with his single mom girlfriend.

As for the following single dads, I don’t know them personally, but found them when I Googled “single dad” and “blog:”

Lee Kelley wrote a blog for the New York Times, “Homefires,” about being deployed in Iraq — and going through a divorce. His entries pull you right in. For more up-to-date entries, check out his Word Smith at War.

There’s Day in the Life of a Single Father, who’s raising his sand-castle building son in Virginia… and bringing his girlfriend into the mix. He describes his blog as “Ramblings and Going Ons of a slightly insane single-parent and his sane and patient son.”

Father Knows Nothing says that he’s getting married again, as soon as his divorce goes through, which makes a woman wonder why he wouldn’t wait just a bit — for himself and his kids — before he dives into the next relationship.

Hey, if you know any single dads bloggin’ out there, send ‘em my way! A girl can get lonely over here.
