Why this place exists

A dad learning to be close from far away

I’m a dad, a chef and someone who has worked with his hands all his life. For a while now, I’ve seen my kids more on my phone screen than at home.

At first, the calls were short and awkward. “How are you? Did you eat? Okay, bye.” I learned that what matters isn’t how long we talk, but what we do together. When we play, make up a story or cook “side by side”, the call becomes a memory.

This project isn’t about which adult is right. It’s about the kids. I believe a child needs both parents, and that respect between them helps more than any game.

I’m building “Cu drag, tata” (“With love, Dad”) step by step, for myself and for other dads going through the same thing. If this sounds like you, you’re welcome to build it with me.

With love, Dad

What we believe

Four things we start from

The child comes first

Every game and every idea starts from what is good for them.

Respect for the other parent

No conflict, no harsh words. Children feel everything.

The child is protected

As little data about children as possible, private rooms, no recordings.

Small steps, often

Ten good minutes today are worth more than a perfect hour someday.

Five ideas for tonight’s call

  1. Guess what’s in my handHide an object and give three clues. Then it’s your child’s turn.
  2. Chain storyTake turns adding one sentence. Neither of you knows how it ends.
  3. Draw the same thingPick a subject, draw for two minutes, then show each other your drawings on camera.
  4. Room tourYour child is the guide and shows you their “museum”: a toy, a drawing, a special stone.
  5. Side-by-side snackMake the same simple snack at the same time, like a slice of bread with a funny face.

Tip: set the call for a time that fits your child’s routine, not just yours.
