Mumsnet Talk

Is there not a special websites for dads like mumsnet or nannet???????????

Mumsnet - By parents for parents

Cos Dads can be Mums too

ok but this is mumsnet yeah ? lol
And there is a nans net
But no dads net?

its not parents net :>

I was just wondering i thought there might of been one.

I'm sure there used to be a dadsnet

Well I suppose 'Dadsnet' is a kind of add on, but it doesn't get that much traffic. Though if you posted an introduction post there you will probably attract the attention of some of the other male posters.

TBH there are all sorts on MN, just dive into any of the boards it doesn't matter if you are male, female, 'other', a parent, a teen etc. etc. Everyone has a point of view, as long as you stick to the posting guidelines you are welcome in any discussion. A lot more gets talked about than just being a Mum/Dad/Parent!

well maybe you should make one?

i mean, why are you complaining to us??? we don't own the internet...

I do not think anyone was complainning just asking (CHILL)

There is a dadsnet.

This is just a sub forum.

Might have not of. Sorry, will return to pedants corner now.

dadsnet

Maybe this sub forum needs it's own section like other discussion groups.
It's so hard to find on the main menu you'd have thought that mumsnet wanted to bury it on purpose

There are a number of websites aimed particularly at fathers. Google is your friend here. Last time I looked none of them were noticeably busy or interesting. I prefer mumsnet.

It's not buried, occasionally some male posters introduce themselves in here, but mostly they lurk and then dive in somewhere safe like chat.

What are you looking for op? There are a lot of male posters on mnet already.

You don't think this sub forum is buried?

Not really, possibly swamped. It's always been in the same place. Just Mnet has got bigger and the majority of traffic is in chat and Aibu - users argue a lot of of topics are buried because you have to look for them. This is why so many threads start up about Aibu being abused and asking the topics list to be culled and condensed.

After all mnet don't expect fathers to only post in the dadsnet topic

I don't think that posters should be just posting in the section named for them that would be silly.
But nevertheless fathers discussions do get derailed on the main forums i'm sure you'd agree.
You're points are valid Honeydragon but I would still like this section to be a little more visible.
