Is there a Dadsnet?

[helenemjay]

Or something? i just wondered??

I think there are but they only have 10 posts about every three years so they come here in their miniscule numbers

no. they have lads mags.

My DH asked me this . He actually posted on here once when I left a discussion about boys clothing on screen - he 'kicked off' a bit but he did say he was my DH and not me

nah - would be far too dull - no gossip, bitchin' and such...but expat ,,,hope you don't mean girlie mags

they would spend hours dissecting baby buggys

Lol my dp has aked me once or twice, i figured it probably wouldnt be used for much really, the only time my dp is online is when he is looking up stuff about games/films or porn [tut tut tut] - (of course he thinks im unaware of the porn thing

maybe he was going to use it as cover then?

He does take quite an interest in mumsnet sometimes and aks me to ask questions for him as he doesnt feel he can (why, i dont know!)

introduce him to some of the mn men

I will suggest that to him - good idea!

That sounds lie a realy good idea. My dh and I often talk about the stuff I chat about on here and hell say ooh I wonder what her dh thinks of that? I might introduce him too

Ummm, couldn't mn add 'dadsnet' under topics or something?

I think that's a good idea, having a Dadsnet topic. As long as it didn't prevent them from posting under other topics. I like hearing the man's perspective, but also like the fact that this is essentially a women's site.

His website was funny though. You'd get a Dad posting with a heartfelt query - angst with wife, trouble adjusting to fatherhood etc. and then reponses would be like - "Yeah, mate, it's bad, innit?" "You wanna go down the pub." "Did you see the footie?" and stuff like that.

OK, I'm exaggerating but the advice wasn't as in depth as Mumsnet, that's for sure

Definately wouldn't want to discourage any blokes from posting on general topics just that once in a while they might appreciate a bit of male-orientated space to chat/get advice/bitch etc.

It's called FathersDirect and Tom from there used to post here. Their talk board wasn't that busy from what I could gather. Tom was (is prob but he hasn't posted here for ages) eloquent and worth reading.

Tom. I wasn't far off with John, was I?

Hello,
Hot news: we are going to add a Dads topic - agreed it last meeting. Just waiting for those good-for-nowt techs to get their **es in gear (no way they'll venture as far as the parenting boards - so should be safe writing that)
Thanks as ever for the input.

oh that would be funny fiofio mine is very offensive (but funny) too!

Excellent, should get some wicked threads then!

What about this ?

And our last meeting to which Justine refers was just last Monday, I'll have you know.

OOh good idea but a little scared of what DH might get up to! He has very strong opinions!
