superdads

Heroic male parents

Superdads is the plural of superdad, an informal term for a father who excels at parenting—especially one who balances career demands with active involvement in his children's lives.

The word often carries a note of admiration or gentle humor: Those superdads at the playground put the rest of us to shame.
