Fatherhood unfiltered. Joseph Tito shares the tears, the tantrums, and the tiny victories.
98 published articles
Joseph Tito runs The Daddiaries, and man, does he get it. He writes about Modern Fatherhood, Co-Parenting, Emotional Labor for Dads, Postpartum for Partners, and Vulnerability. Joseph isn’t afraid to say he’s cried in the car before going inside. He’ll admit he has no idea what he’s doing half the time. And that’s exactly why people love him. He’s dismantling the idea that dads have to be stoic robots. He shows up messy, loving, tired, and trying. Joseph Tito is for any dad who’s ever felt invisible or unsure. Spoiler: you’re not alone. And you’re doing better than you think.
