Hi, I was just wondering if I might be so bold as to join your site?
Some mums at my sons playgroup were raving about it so I have finally taken the plunge and said Hello.

Not sure how one introduces ones self on a parent site but here I go.

I am Donald and I am 32, I have one son who is 3 and a total ball of joy.
I am a single dad and have my son full time, I am very lucky to have a good family to look after him while I work Especially when I am on a night shift (fireman).

My social life is 0 so having a chat on here would be lovely, and advice is always welcome.
I hope Dads are allowed and you don't run me out of town.

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

We're all blokes anyway. The quality of disguise just varies from poster to poster.

So, you're more than welcome, mate!

Your ex wife thinks you are a yappy dog.
She has custody of Joe, she said so.
You're getting too many innocent girls excited what with your helmet
