Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

Just become parents in North London & looking to make friends

Hello, my partner & I have just become proud gay parents & our baby is now 1 week old. It would be great to meet up with parents with children of a similar age & meet up. Anyone out there? smile

Hi Don,

Lovely to hear from you:-)

How do we get in touch?.. I tried to contact you directly on this but it says you dont accept direct contacts unless you use 'c.a.m.' whatever that is!.

We are reluctant to post our direct email or contact details on here as we have had a few weirdos send us unpleasant things in the past.

Thanks for now

Hi everyone!,

We hope its ok to join and post to your group.

We are a gay couple whom have recently been feeling a little bit isolated and unsure since becoming new gay dads. Finding some genuine like minded parents/friends who live for their kids seems to be difficult.

Since completing our rather tortuous & sometimes impossible journey to acheive our long term dream of having our own genetic kids, we recently succeeded, and now have two beautiful boys - (whom we are both mum and dad to). Unlike many same sex female couples or single mums, we appear to have encountered a much more judgemental reaction from many sources, (many unexpected). So the last 3 years have effectively been in reclusion.

However, a friend happend to see this group and suggested it might be worthwhile to test our faith in human nature again and reach out. So we hope that there are indeed some other genuine people out there whom are like minded and also live for their kids.

We are not sure what to expect, so hope that we will all be pleasantly surprised.

We are both decent, law abiding, hard working dependable people, both of whom have formerly lived 'normal' heterosexual lives and have now been together for 20 monogamous years. We appreciate that not everyone agrees with our choices, but we intend to do all we can to try and ensure our kids have as balanced a life as possible. If we can find others in a similar position whom can understand and can share ideas and support, then it will be worthwhile.

In the meantime, sorry for writing 'War & Peace', but we hope the most worthwhile journeys start with the smallest of steps:-).

Take care for now and thanks for reading this.

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
