About Dad-Zilla

Welcome to Dad-Zilla – the home for new dads, especially those of us stepping into fatherhood a little later in life. I’m Gavin, a first-time dad navigating the highs, lows and hilarity of parenting with my baby boy, Rainier, as my sidekick.

This platform is all about keeping it real – the joy, the chaos, and the unexpected lessons that come with being a dad. From practical dad tips that help you survive sleepless nights and endless nappy changes, to honest dad reviews of the gear, gadgets and hacks that actually make life easier, everything here is designed to help you on your parenting journey.

As an older dad, I know first-hand the unique challenges and rewards of starting this adventure later in the game. That’s why Dad-Zilla mixes raw, authentic stories with useful insights, plenty of laughs, and a big dose of honesty.

If you’re looking for relatable content about babiesfatherhood and real-world parenting advice, you’re in the right place. Subscribe, follow, or just drop in whenever you need a reminder that you’re not alone on this wild, wonderful ride of being a dad! 

I think we all do at some point. Weren’t we all supposed to have achieved ‘the dream’ by this point in our lives? Driving the sick car, having the ultimate wife / girlfriend, children, the best job to assert our egos, going on holidays to boast about. Yeah, doesn’t really work out like that does it. Life changes and pulls us in thousands of directions. Everyone’s circumstance is different. DO NOT compare yourself to others. You are your own person, and are going at your own speed through life. Status is an object of the mind, fooling us into thinking we have to adhere by set parameters from those higher up the perceived food chain (parents, teachers, bosses, peers). Don’t listen to them, follow your instincts in what you want to do and become.
