[Billy1976]

Hi.

My name is Billy, I'm 31 and I'm from South Wales.

Sadly I lost my lovely wife to Leukaemia only a few months ago and now I am a single parent. Its hard for me but I am strong, and so determined to bring up my 2 beautiful children in a loving environment.

I know this is a 'mums' forum, but I'd really appreciate any tips help or feedback any of you can offer me.

I hope to talk to you soon

Kind regards

Billy

Welcome Billy, the site is for all parents. I hope you find it useful.

Hello, and Welcome- there are quite a few dads on here.

Welcome Billy!

Be warned it can get addictive

Thank you so much guys, its greatly appreciated

welcome! i hope you enjoy mn, we are friendly bunch and there are several dads on here too

welcome Billy, i hope you find this site as useful as i have, and make as many friends!

Despite the fact it's called mumsnet, the strapline is still 'by parents for parents'.
And besides, you can type in whole words and sentences without resorting to textspeak, which puts you way ahead of many new posters ...

Hi Billy. Sorry to hear about your wife, that's very sad. How old are your kids?

So Billy, What do you think about Fruit Shoots?

welcome Billy - so sorry about your wife, how old are your children?

Welcome Billy!

Hello Billy and welcome, I'm very sorry to hear about your wife. It must be very tough for you. How old are your dc? (dc = dear children) How are you all coping?

snap jetpeanut - great minds ehhh

Welcome Billy. Mumsnet is a great place to come and chat or get advice. So sorry to hear about your wife. That's very sad. It sounds like you have two very lucky children to have a Dad like you. Good luck.

Ah Billy, sorry for your loss, however this is a great place for advice, empathy and lots of laughs. You are very welcome to mumsnet

Hi Billy and welcome Sorry to hear about your wife. How old are your children? Do you have boys or girls? Yes were a nosey bunch too

Welcome to MN.

hi billy..........really sorry about the loss of ur wives,hope u feel welcome here x

Sorry to hear about your wife Billy.

YOu will like it here I think. You are definately welcome.

I am sure the name of this site puts men off!

I'm very glad you've found us, Billy. It can get a bit feisty on here from time to time, but please don't ever feel excluded from any conversation. There are men on here too (there's even the Men's Room), but until people get to know you, it might be good to explain that you're a man. Girls can be girls, you know!

I'm in Bristol, not too far away. If you need anything, please let me know.

Yep, great minds indeed!

welcome billy - am sorry to hear about your wife your kids sound like they have a great dad.

Do you have ds/dd or one of each?

Hi Billy Welcome to Mumsnet... as Firenze says, it's a parenting site really, so you are definitely in the right place.

There is lots of support here on a wide variety of topics. I'm very sorry to hear about your wife and if you feel the need some night to just come on here and talk about it, there will always be a willing ear.

How old are your children?

We always leap on new posts with numbers in their names and encourage them to pick something more "them", but we might wait for you to post more than once for that! (by the way, we are all sporting "Harry Potter" versions of our normal names at the moment, just in case you were wondering!)

I'll say goodbye now, I'm sure one of the other dads who post on here will come along soon and drag you off to their lair in the "Mens Room"!
