About 8BitDad
8BitDad is the modern parent’s source for fatherhood news, reviews and opinions.
We share parenthood news from around the internet, we feature exclusive interviews you won’t find anywhere else and we tackle important issues within the fatherhood community. We even blog about our own personal stories of triumph and sadness.
