We asked members of our #Dadspotting Crew to give us their insight on a few recent trending events/places that have caught our eye.   (these are opinions so please excuse any errors etc)

Dad : Martin S (Financial Planner) 
Dad of 3 - Took his 2 Daughters 10 and 13 to see Taylor Swift’s Reputation Stadium Tour in Toronto.   For his 10 year old it was her first concert.  

Q - What made you want to take your girls to this concert ?
A - on our Apple Music family subscription it is the most streamed playlist and that’s an indication as to how much Taylor’s music is played in by the the people in our house.  

Q - How was the experience ?
A - At first i was a little nervous because I’ve been to many concerts but I wanted this to be perfect for the girls, and it was that and more. 

Q - Expand please.  
A - She’s a performer and a singer that knows how to plead her fan base.   Even though her music is all over the place it was great to see how the stage show was something big and almost closer to being a full theatrical show vs a normal concert.  

Q - Any recos for parents thinking about taking their kids to see Taylor Swift on this Reputation tour ? 
A - Get there early as security is rightfully busy, go early also because Charlie X and Carmelo Cobao are also great opening acts. 
Oh and yes it is loud, but it’s a lot of fun and I’m so glad I could experience the moments with my girls.   I myself can say I’m #TaylorSwift fan now.

Christopher Robin - Movie

Dad. - Steve - Police Officer  Dad to a boy and girl (6 and 8)

Q - how often do you see movies on the big the screen ?A - I’d say once every 2 months . We like to go when we can, but not all movies work for kids these age ( and it’s expensive at times) 

Q - and how was the movie ? 

A- I loved it , I didn’t want to love it but boy did it melt my heart. 

Q - what about the kids ?

A - they enjoyed it, laughed at the right parts and were generally entertained. 

Q- generally ?

A - their is a huge nostalgia factor that they capture in this move that is a little lost on the younger generation. So in a way I feel like I got more out of this then they did. 

Q - Worth the experience ?

A - I’d say this is a must see film for sure but not necessarily in movie theatres. In fact I would have loved to watch it with my family at home.
