Online Lives: Benny Finlay - Auctioneer turned parenting blogger

Benny Finlay quit his job a year ago to become a stay-at-home dad. Today the former auctioneer blogs about his parenting experiences at daddypoppins.com.

“I love writing and humour (particular puns and dad jokes) and so decided to combine the two,” he said. It allows me to document life a a stay at home dad in Ireland, tell as many dad jokes as is humanly possible, poke fun at nursery rhymes and the embarrassing situations you find yourself in while minding kids, point out the differences of being a male in a predominately female role and just have a level of adult interaction as I go about my daily life.”

I’m 37 with a long suffering wife (we met 20 years ago in college) and 2 two kids (aged 2 and 7). I love writing, sport, playing the playstation, films, tv and anything that makes me chuckle.
