The New Fatherhood

Kevin Maguire's honest, unpolished conversations about modern fatherhood.

Substack Family Weekly Updated Oct 2026

About

Kevin Maguire writes The New Fatherhood around a simple idea: most parenting content aimed at dads is either jokey or absent, so he built a community of fathers having honest conversations about the parts of the job that are hard to talk about, exhaustion, identity, marriage strain, not just the fun parts.

It reads more like a letter from a friend than advice-column content, often featuring reader stories alongside Maguire's own. A good fit for fathers who want to feel less alone in the unglamorous parts of raising kids, rather than another list of activities to do with your toddler.
