In April of 2020, a father of two decided to launch a YouTube channel to offer some friendly "DADvice" to those in need — advice he sorely lacked growing up after his own father left him and his seven siblings when he was only 14 years old. That Youtube channel is called DAD, HOW DO I and in under three months it amassed over 2.4 million subscribers.

In this DILF Replay, Kevin sits down with Rob Kenney, the dad behind DAD HOW DO I, for a heart-to-heart with the man one fan referred to as “not the internet dad, but rather the internet’s dad.”

In preparation for our upcoming third season, we're excited to present our DILF RePlay Series, beginning with an episode favorite from Season One.

A #DadTruth is a simple statement that breaks down barriers by shedding insight into the modern fatherhood experience to reveal the differences and, often times, the many similarities between parents of any gender, race, creed or sexual orientation.

DILF host, Kevin Seldon, provides an update on upcoming season 3, as well as the launch of a new nonprofit called ALL PARENTS WELCOME (APW) - a global coalition of parents working to create more support and inclusivity within parenting culture, where DILF will be donating the majority of its proceeds going forward. To learn more about APW or to sign up to join the parent coalition, visit https://join.apw.ngo

Kevin also discusses what he's been working on since the end of DILF season 2 — the creation of new book: a sanity-saving guide to better support the new dads, providing the tools needed to become the type of actively-engaged, emotionally-evolved parent that every partner and child needs and deserves. SO, if you’re a new or expectant parent, or a dad who could have ever used more support, or a mom who wishes your partner had more resources to better support you and themselves… this is your opportunity to make that a reality for new parents across the globe with 100% of net proceeds donated back to APW.

It's time to fight outdated stereotypes. It's time for parenting culture to invite dads into the conversation... cuz we're already here... and we're not going anywhere.

It’s no secret that the world treats men and women very differently… and the same goes for moms and dads; however, truly comprehending what it’s like for the opposite sex is no easy task. Kevin welcomes Nick North, a trans man with the rare experience of living life as both dad and mom. After giving birth to four children, Nick decided that he was tired of living a lie and began his journey transitioning to Dad.

His journey is not only fascinating but an eye-opening lesson in the realities of gender bias that most of us face on a daily basis. So much more than a trans story, this is Nick North's tale of bravery — an eye-opening interview that proves that the formula for being an amazing parent is simply living your truth while continuing to show up each and every day... with love.
