Single Father, New To Mumsnet

[Innovation]

Hello All

Im peter, 27 years old from london, I have two children, My son is 5 and my daughter is 4, I use to be a single parent untill my children went back to there mums but i still have plenty of contact with my children, Im here on mumsnet because i would really like to chat to other parents, None of my mates have children so when ever i tell them what ive been upto with them there not really interested, I sometimes feel abit isolated so it would be great to chat to some other parents, My aunt said that i should try a parenting website but she also said that she doubts very much that anyone would want to chat to me because im a guy,
Im just looking for someone that i can chat to about stuff in general and being a parent, I hope nobody minds me being here and if anyone would like to chat then please feel free to send me a message.

But... it can be a very helpful supportive place and it can get results quicker than google when looking for info.

I will leave you to feed the troll, looks like its a hungry one

Who are you fighting with? not me...

Perhaps you're shadow boxing?

Hi Innovation/Peter

Welcome to mumsnet.

If you're looking for a bit of mindless chat, check out the tea shop or the bar, if you like word games there's generally one going on - at the moment we've got song title, book and film title games on the go as well.

You are very welcome

Have I missed something?? Who's the troll??

lol jv

Squonk I am LOVING the new name!

Hi there and welcome!
I don't think anyone has said but txt spk is a definite no no either!
oh and don't forget there are buttons at the top to include special needs/buying and selling/in the news

yes please no text speak

And these 'hi, i'm new' threads are all very nice but - you've had your welcome now so get off your butt and go post on a thread thats not all about you - look on active conersations and just post on whatever takes your fancy.

Welcome to MN, Peter.

i think it will be safer for me just to look at what everyone is saying and stay out of the conversations, this website is like a minefield of dos and donts

Bloody hell have you been scared off yet, not easy becoming part of mumsnet you now

Welcome to mumsnet - you will find it really addictive!

Hey there Innovation, just want to say hello, I've been a member of mumsnet for a while but didn't get talking til four months ago when I became a lone parent. Had some great chats on here

no im not scared off, i think i will stick around.

hello almostmidnight, how are you, sorry to hear about your recent split, i hope your doing ok

not scared off yet.dont be afraid to have opinion but be prepared to listen to others and be told you are wrong!
do you see much of your dc?

LISTEN
goa nd talk on threads
stop enjoying all the attnetion

i see them as often as i can but sometimes it can be abit difficult because they live quite far away from me and they have school aswell.

Do you know what, I am great. Only took two months to get over 15 years of marriage. I am having the time of my life. Helps getting chatted up Facebook though by a good looking bloke too . Not bad yourself but a bit too young for me.

facebook and what, ?

I already told him that Cod - he said no.

It's true - the longer you stay on your own thread the more suspicious people will be of you - maybe unfair, but there have been others you know - theres a pattern, you can only break it by going on other threads -go on. GO.

yes time to dip toes into new threads

Sorry, typing too quick for myself. Facebook is one of those chat websites where you have your own page. Bit like Bebo.
