I’m Logan, dad of six, perpetually outnumbered, and absolutely fine about it.
Six kids. Four autistic. Two tube-fed. One set of twins who have recently discovered that rules are, in fact, optional. This is just a regular Tuesday.
I’m a transgender dad in the UK, and I’ve been doing this parenting thing since before I’d fully worked out who I was. Turns out those two processes, figuring out fatherhood and figuring out yourself, are not entirely unrelated. Nobody tells you that bit.
I’m also a writer and speaker on parenting and identity, and the founder of Dad Business.
Just Another Dad (Sort Of)
I do all the standard dad stuff. I’ve unblocked drains I’d rather not describe. I’ve sellotaped things that almost certainly needed replacing. I’ve sat in A&E at 2am projecting an air of calm competence that was entirely fictional.
My version of normal also involves feeding pumps, EHCP reviews, and the specific kind of sensory meltdown that happens precisely four minutes before the school run. So, fairly standard. Nothing to see here.
I’m not here because I’ve got it figured out. I’m here because I’ve been in the thick of it long enough to occasionally say something that isn’t completely useless.
Why This Exists
Most dad content assumes a fairly standard setup. Two kids, neurotypical, unlimited energy, childcare.
That was never my life. So I started writing about the one I actually have.
Dad Business is where I put the real stuff, what happened, what helped, what spectacularly didn’t, and the bits that were quietly absurd. It’s not advice. It’s dispatches from the frontline, offered in the spirit of “this is what I did, make of that what you will.”
The Family, Since You’re Asking
Six kids, ages four to fourteen. The eldest is fourteen going on forty-five and has strong opinions about everything. The twins are four and operate as a unit, which is as alarming as it sounds.
My wife and I are a team and best friends. This blog is my perspective on life.
What I Write and Speak About
Real life parenting. The mealtimes that could charitably be described as ambitious, the DIY repairs that technically worked, the large family moments that are genuinely lovely and also completely exhausting.
SEN and tube feeding life. The honest reality of being a parent carer, navigating hospital corridors, red tape, and the invisible emotional load that nobody puts in the brochure.
Dad survival and self-care. Burnout is real. I talk guilt, mental health, and finding tiny scraps of time to feel human again, without anyone suggesting a gratitude journal.
Transgender fatherhood. What it actually looks like to be a trans dad in the UK, raising a big, complicated, wonderful family.
When I’m Not in Dad Mode
Digging in the garden. Gaming like it’s 1999. Skip diving, because one man’s rubbish is another dad’s entirely reasonable home improvement project.
