The Forum Built for Dads

DadHQ is a free online forum and community built specifically for dads. It is a place where fathers can share experiences, ask questions, get advice, and connect with other dads going through similar stages of fatherhood. Think of it as your digital dad support group.

Yes, DadHQ is completely free to join. You can create an account, browse all forums, post discussions, and reply to other dads at no cost. We may offer optional premium features in the future, but the core community experience will always be free.

DadHQ welcomes all dads and father figures. Whether you are a first-time new dad, a single dad, a stepdad, an adoptive father, a granddad, or an expecting father, you belong here. If fatherhood is part of your life, DadHQ is for you.

DadHQ has 13 dedicated forums covering all aspects of dad life. Parenting forums include New Dad HQ, Co-Parenting, Dad Mental Health, Digital Parenting, Working Dad Life, Dad Wins, and Weekend Missions. Beyond parenting, we have Before & After for how life changed since becoming a dad, Dad Hobbies for your interests outside of dadding, Faith & Family for Christian fathers leading by example, The Gentleman's Code for traditional values and raising respectful kids, Dad Jokes & Memes for humor, and General for everything else.

DadHQ is pseudonymous, meaning you choose a username and never need to share your real name, location, or personal details. Your privacy is a top priority. You can share openly and honestly without worrying about your identity being exposed.

DadHQ is purpose-built for dads, not a generic forum with a parenting subforum. Every feature, moderation policy, and community guideline is designed with fathers in mind. We have dad-focused moderation, trust levels that reward quality participation, no ads cluttering the experience, and a supportive culture where dads can be vulnerable without judgment.
