2021 was a helluva year. In the disorienting madness of our upended lives, it’s hard to remember what, exactly, happened. It’s clear that our kids grew a few inches, learned some things, drove us up the wall, and inspired us to be better. But how did we feel, what did we think, and what happened out there in the world that we cared about? The most popular stories of 2021 on Fatherly offer an informative, entertaining clue. Here’s to 2022 — whatever that may bring.

NEWS IN 2021

The most popular news stories in 2021 for Fatherly readers revolved squarely around the stimulus package. When was it coming, who was it for, how much are families getting, and how about that child tax credit? Build Back Better was hugely on the mind of parents as well — primarily as it pertained to child care and paternity leave. But what did we see beyond our basic needs? Well, we looked up. Meteor showers and weird sky reports were huge among Fatherly readers in 2021. Not to mention William Shatner, whose trip to space was an inspiration for so many of our readers — and a source of a few chuckles for more.
