There are dads that post here

What's the big deal?

Dracschick · 14/11/2010 20:53

do dads have bums tho?

PlumBumMum · 14/11/2010 20:54

You are when you have mum and bum in your posting nameWink

Seabright · 14/11/2010 20:54

Don't know & don't much care. I surpass I think of this as a parenting site rather than just mums (despite it's name)

Dando · 14/11/2010 20:55

There may be lots, who knows. I do know that there a quite a few male posters (altho I spose they could be women pretending to be men)

Kewcumber · 14/11/2010 20:55

you can post as a dad Confused "by parents for parents"

MumWithABum · 14/11/2010 20:55

Seabright · 14/11/2010 20:55

Can't spell! Agghhhh! Surpose!

MissBeehiving · 14/11/2010 20:55

Why do you feel that you need to pretend?

Dando · 14/11/2010 20:56

No, I think it started like that and they got stuck with it. Like Carphone Warehouse, innit.

LoopyLoops · 14/11/2010 20:56

There are lots of dads on here. I'd namechange if I were you, unless you want people asking you for advice on mooncups.

autodidact · 14/11/2010 20:56

Are you joking?

LoopyLoops · 14/11/2010 20:56

What is your stance on mooncups, by the way?

MumWithABum · 14/11/2010 20:57

am i being unreasonable to not even review my spelling might be a more applicable question mind you ...

There are quite a few male posters here MumWithaBum. Happy to have your point of view, welcome Smile.

PinkieMinx · 14/11/2010 20:57

YABU - why pretend? Confused

MumWithABum · 14/11/2010 20:58

You can identify yourself how you wish but if you want to pretend to be a woman you might want to brush up on your knowledge. I head over to the feminist section if I were you. Probably followed by a stint on the feeding section then relationships.

MumNWLondon · 14/11/2010 21:00

I have less of a problem with dads posting than with people who don't have children posting. Not sure why need to pretend.

FakePlasticTrees · 14/11/2010 21:00

Pervert.

FakePlasticTrees · 14/11/2010 21:01

(that was for wanting baileys in a mooncup. Not for pretending to be a mum, although that's a bit Hmm too)

Pan · 14/11/2010 21:02

er..is there a sort of point to this thread??

MumWithABum · 14/11/2010 21:03
