How young? Like teens or just guys with young kids?
Oh yeah?
Just an old one here.
Zach. You made it
Stop asking questions
Sorry to hear about your one son. But as you know he's in a better place now. Still I can't imagine the pain. 🫂
what about mothers? 🥲
Have my husband @9sirtom5. He's rather silent, but based dad material.
Haha maybe we need a #dadstr follow pack
That's not a bad idea. 💡
I’m three months in , and we will carry the torches brother

9 yo boy and educating him on good values. We need them strong and sane to pass by this fourth turning pothole
I'm not a "young" father, but I do have younger kids. They changed my life for the better in a significant way.
My son is currently 10.
We're building in the fourth turning so they can prosper in the coming first turning.
52. Boys 9 and 6.
📖 Malachi 4:5–6 (ESV)
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers,
lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.”
Not young, but it's been a hell of a ride with three boys.
👋
🫡 thank you
Unity, this is the way.
Father of 2 girls and soon to be 3 girls
Indeed sir
I think most fathers are "radicalised" in truth and comom sense.
Father of three boys here 9, 6, 3 months.
My main worry for them is if either me or them end up in a hot war with Russia. Again. Historically it keeps happening here. From this point of view, my main gripe with a lot of right wing people from further West is that a lot of them are useful idiots when it comes to Russia.
Also, I “strongly dislike” dictators, wannabe dictators, and “strongmen”. Even if I’d otherwise align with them ideologically. Freedom comes first.

Very unlikely two nuclear powers go to kinetic war imo assuming you’re American
I’m Latvian.
Ah got it. Then I understand your concern.
Oh. Did you mean only American fathers?
No not at all

✌️
I'm a father of a boy about to turn 2. We plan on having more.
Just had my third son this summer.
Three sons! Gratulations, Anders
Beautiful
Hey, thanks!
Couldn’t respond sooner - swimming practice with the eldest, cooking dinner, then quality time with the older kids (Lego Fortnite lol), then bedtime!
Just wanted to say that it’s a really great initiative to gather young father Nostriches. I mean, we surely have at least this in common - we’re pro free speech, likely Bitcoiners, and wish the best for our kids. Namely that they can live safe and prosperous lives!
Being open to having it geographically distributed is super important too. As we just have different concerns and issues to deal with. As an example, the left/right divide is really not that important here. But it’s only because we still have the experience of living under a communist totalitarian regime still very fresh in our collective memory. So we really just don’t have too many fools advocating for it yet. We’re also still salty about how that pushed us from being one of the more prosperous and developed countries in the region to being among the poorest.
The very recent memory of being a pretty poor place also means we don’t have too many people hyper focusing on transgender bathroom policies. Boys are largely still boys and girls are largely still girls.
Similarly, having been pretty poor until quite recently (not yet super rich, but rich enough by now) also means we’re not really dealing with the consequences of decades of misguided mass migration results.
On the other hand, we do have to deal with external players who just dream to destroy the West. By making an example out of us. They want to see a politically fractured America, hopefully fighting a civil war. They want to see a divided Europe where countries can be played against each other. They want to see America and Europe at each other’s throats. That’s their wet dream. Then the world is an oyster for them.
That’s not a world I want my sons to live in. I want them to be free. And the way this needs to be done in my opinion is by saving the West. We need to reinvigorate its values and the foundation it has been built on. We need to confront the enemies willing to destroy it. Both internal and external. And not lose democracy and freedom in the process.
I think it’s a tall order, but it can be done. And the start is definitely the realization that someone who has decided to go into fatherhood with eyes wide open in this day and age is definitely not your enemy, as we definitely have more in common than what separates us. And that applies not just to the ideological spectrum in a particular country, but also across geographies.
So yeah, kudos! 👍 Now let’s go and fix everything.
I'm an older father.
It doesn't change.
We still want the best for our children too.
✌️
4 and 6 yo
Good list in the comments of great nostr dads.

First child this summer. Planning for one more and a better future for them.
My daughter is in uni preparing to tear this world up. Been a father for 20yrs 🦅
5yo boy.. making a conscious decision to say yes as much as possible when he asks me to play with him

Not so young, but I have a 17, 15, and 13 year old.
This is awesome!!!
👋
How young do you need to be? I wouldn’t say I am young, but not an old man either!
👧👧
Good thing about ditching twitter is I’ve got some time to work through following this whole group.
Well done sir!
The future belongs to fathers with steel in their spine and purpose in their steps. I will follow back men who live on mission.

The boys are now young men.
Young father or father of a young child?
Both
You know it buddy. Got my two blondies with blue eyes under 5. Third might be in the cards within the next year. You have been their defacto distant uncle practically present everyday thanks to CH. Let's make fathers great again. I've been chipping away at many a beta with some great results. It starts with being the example to emulate. We got this brother!
My kids are prolly as old as you but I am still young at at heart 😜 .. will that work ?.
Of course!
We’re out here perpetuating the species and the culture. The fight will never stop. Always has been, always will be.
Father of 3 under 10 here
Let’s go! Dad of 3 kiddos here. :)
Hmm, I'm definitely one of those
Is 46 years old still a “young” father?
Already following you. 👋
Young fathers, or fathers of younglings?
I'm gen X with Gen Alpha kids. I think you mean gen Y/Z in regard to hero generation
Planning on having three God willing. Looking forward to joining the ranks one day 💪🏻
Same same
Any young father’s need some middle aged parenting wisdom…I got your back. 19, 16 and 10….its been a wild ride.
Give me some advice.
You and your spouse are a team. You’re either playing man or zone but never play against one another or those little fuckers will eat you alive!
Every phase of childhood brings challenges and rewards as a parent. Breathe and learn to enjoy the messes and chaos because one day soon you’ll be looking at the back of their head as they leave the nest….and that’s not the time to try to right any regrets you hold.
Good day, sir! Father of a soon to be 3 year old little girl. And soon to be welcoming our second in the world within the next two weeks! Becoming a father has been the most transformative moment of my life. I am blessed with a growing family I am grateful for each day!
I'm still trying to figure out how to be the best father. I see a lot of good examples on Nostr.
Agree with everything you said in my experience
Followed
I haven’t joined the dad club… yet.
Is 30s still young 😉

My son is now 29. Over the weekend I had a conversation with him about his perspective about his own childhood. I wanted to know what he thought we did right, and what we may have got wrong.
His answer(s): emotional stability (my translation) and consistency was what we got right right.
What I got wrong: "you were always working." - that changed my entire perspective.

👊 awsome thread. Feels like Dads have been away for a while…like a deployment or prolonged business trip…kids in society were left unsupervised and broke some shit…we’re back and time to fix what’s broken.
Your kids happiness is more important than your own.
Nees all the advice i can get, 2 boys due in December
Got you all now. I am also a father of 2 high school age kids. One of each and a year and a week apart. Fatherhood changes you, fundamentally.
Not young, but here for the dad jokes.
Awesome! Twice the reward! Best advice I can give for first 6 months, when you’re tested physically and emotionally is the old adage of “this too shall pass.” When at wits end, breathe and remind yourself of the above. The wins start stacking quickly once your child starts to smile and interact with you, but the first cpl months are a marathon.
Take shifts so each half can sleep, wash off the baby wipes with water to prevent diaper rash. Use the diaper cream.
I’m feeling old now, my youngest is 9 :)
Best method for discipline? Feels like we’ve given too much freedom to our 5 year old.
Shit, I think that I'm not int the young father category anymore.
How young ?
Show them and be the leading exemple.
Apart from that, why do you think you have given him too much freedom ?
We have no help from our families so my wife is 100% on her own when I’m working with 3 young kids who are starting to wreak havoc on the house which is preventing my wife from doing basic things like clean and cook and that spills over into my work.
We’re trying to go down the homeschool route but I fear we will have to run a very tight ship to do so, which could kill some of our children’s spirit, which is the opposite intention of homeschooling and the decisions we make.
I don’t wish absent grandparents and extended family on my worst enemies kids. It’s a very tough road.
Congratulations!!!
We just had our first son 13 days ago (due date was today) the best advice we got was that if we ever feel overwhelmed due to screaming or such, put the baby down and walk away for a moment to recover. The baby can handle screaming on their own for a few minutes, but to avoid accidentally being to hard on them, if we need a moment, it's really important to take it.
I love this thread with all the dads! You're all worth celebrating! Well done being awesome men, and awesome dads! I know you are because you're celebrating being dad's, and that on its own make you awesome!
We need to add a mom list 😃
Elementary age. Single dad.
Yes, we need a mom list too. Moms who love their husbands.
I know it’s cliche, but everything changed the day I became a father
The meaning of life is so much clearer
“Oh now I know what I am here for”

The girls here of 6 and 3 are keeping us young. And they inspire me to build a better digital space for them. Better than what YouTube Kids is offering (for example).

I‘m old
Have a 4 year old girl and a little boy arriving end of the year. My wife is amazing - watching her playing with our daughter I'm just in awe how lucky I am. Being a dad has completely changed my perspective on what's important. Would choose to be colouring in princesses with my daughter vs. any luxury you can imagine.
It's also made me far more ruthless in how I approach my career. I want them to see me fulfilled and happy in my work. It helps to have some Bitcoin too - I just don't take any shit and do a good job on my own terms.
I've always been mostly libertarian thinking, but having a family has also made me a bit more right wing lol 🏴
They’re little humans just like you….they’re testing boundaries, seeing what they can get away with. Some are more stubborn than others…later in life obstinance can be a real gift. As far as discipline…consider that human behavior responds to a combo of the carrot and the stick. Set guidelines and communicate them. Good behavior gets the carrot, bad behavior the stick. Carrots at that age are more freedom, time to play, etc. The stick…not a physical stick but a real consequence. Could be a real meaningful timeout, loss of privileges/toys, pushups/laps if you’re coaching, etc can show that there are consequences to not following the rules of the game. Finally, be consistent with the rules, rewards and consequences with your spouse.
✋
Do you mean recent fathers? Or do older fathers with young kids not apply? XD
All fathers
Trying to raise a 6 and 4 year old in this crazy world
Most rewarding and challenging adventure but wouldn’t trade it for the world
Still trying to figure out who are the good and bad guys…reversing 30 years of state programming is tough but at the end of the day can only worry about the things that we can control.
Thanks for the insight & reinforcement. Appreciate it
Was blessed with a little one in the spring. Have been spending as much time as possible barefoot with her outside all summer. No screens, only nature.
Father of 4, 3 boys first and then a girl oldest 23 now. All 3 boys just left the nest to start their adult lives. Crazy!
I got you homie. What is the book or sermon or persons that have most impacted your parenting in the last year?
Best little broskee quote of 2025..."But if you were an octopus then you could grab more things with your testicles!"
I actually never read anything. Just staying present is the most important thing imo.
Being a dad is the best job I've ever had
Really? Surprised. Was listening to a pod this morning titled "How to Raise Godly Children by Josh Howerton and reflecting on Proverbs 11:14.."Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety." Some good bits in that talk. Would be cool if we started a string of resources sharing stuff that has impacted our parenting.
A few bangers that were shared with us along the way: Bringing up Boys by Dobson, Preparation for Parenting by Ezzos (OG Christian version of BabyWise), The Heart of Humility by Gilkerson, Tuttle Twins by Boyack, Wise Words for Moms by Hubbard.
I’ll have to check it out
Found out yesterday I will become a dad for the 4th time. I once told my wife that we win this cultural war by bringing more good people into the world, not by bunkering down and being afraid to have children. That's what the enemy wants.
Dads are important
You got a lot of follows out of this one bud ;)
Two girls. 12 and 9 ❤️

10 and 8. Latest thoughts have been on Charlie K. shooters dad, building a relationship w kids that would prevent something like this. Hard to say at what point he went wrong but the world is a f’ed up place, and the protector role is no longer just physical.
