In conversation with The Don Father
With his humorous and witty nature, who better to approach about fatherhood than local, award-winning dad blogger, Don Dinnematin.
BETTER known as The Don Father for his experiences, thoughts and random musings about parenthood which are written in an honest, light-hearted way, Don’s quality content – and photographs – has a fresh approach to the usual parenting blogs. Little wonder he scooped a laurel at the South African Parenting Blogger Awards in 2019.
With appearances from his gorgeous wife , Milly, he blogs about his adventures of being a dad to his three beautifully busy children, six-year-old Gia, three-year-old Koah and Tayo who is just one. Don strongly believes that being a great dad need not be defined by your past.
“Growing up, my dad was hardly around, and when he was, he wasn’t actively present in our lives. I never witnessed what it was like to have a completely dedicated father figure around. I had a lot of self-doubt and worry about the ability of being a dad as I had no reference to learn from. All I could do was give it my best. I never dreamed that starting a blog and talking about parenting from a dad’s point of view would be so well-received. I am continuously humbled and grateful.”
Don started blogging when Gia was just four months old and says it has been an adventure-filled past few years, working with local and international brands – the likes of one of top South African natural health and wellbeing brand Pure Beginnings, innovative travel systems brand Noola, and Nokia Mobile South Africa – and meeting many incredible people along the way.
