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.

Welcome Innovation.

Gah, some people are really quick to jump on us poor Dads. For the sceptics, listen, we're not all evil men, and we don't all want to sleep with you. Some of us want to talk about fruitshoots, parenting and grammar schools (OK, maybe not mooncups then) so get over yourselves and stop trying to corrall us into the bloody Mens Room all the time!

I didn't realise there were so many dads out there. Hopefully I will meet one of you wonderful single dads one day in the future and live happily ever after... in my dreams

Only joking. I really do hope there is a good decent bloke out there one day who wants to take care of both me and my darling girls but not too soon cos I am having fun at the moment

Innovation · 01/10/2007 14:39
