Dad's question

[worrydad]

Mumsnet seems great, and I can see how it helps - does anyone know if there is anything like it for us Dads?

There are times when it would be nice to talk with other Husbands or Fathers or both, to get an idea of what I do right, what I do wrong, and even return the compliment. It's mostly relationship stuff - My wife makes sure I don't get the chance to mess up too badly with the kids.

I tried "dadsnet.com", obviously....

Hi Worrydad, I beleive there is a wbsite called fathers direct or something. One of our poster Tom runs it. Dad'd are welcome on Mumsnet though. We're not too sexist!

Sorry about spelling. Must preview in future!

As we have quite a few dads on mumsnet maybe we should have a special Dad's topic area?

worrydad you can post on the relationships thread and I'm sure the dads on here will post back. You will get all the mum's opinions too!

So what are you worried about?

Countess it is relationship matter mostly. I'm not sure if this is the place, as my Wife posts here too

www.fathersdirect.com. It's very good, but so are we!
You are more than welcome to post here anytime!

Ah, fair enough!

I dont know what name she uses actually, so I hope that I'm not Mr Wobbly either. (What has he done that's so bad?)

Been a pig so she's had to leave

I would love to, as you seem very welcoming but She was here first.

So, we have plenty of husbands who post occasionally as well as their wives.

Go on go on go on go on!

Worry, there's also Homedad if you need solely male input from stay-at-home dads. However, I've found this site much more helpful than either Dad-centred site for general childcare advice and support.

Well it'd only be fair DL as you always crucify us for that sort of thing heh heh!

Don't be hard on Twinkie DL, her brain has taken enough of a bashing today

Yes, I've had to abandon that thread as it's doing my head in!

ROFL That thread seems to have exhausted itself now.

If that were the case then that person would be a REAL schizo DL !

Hey dadslib, we're not all sexist you know, give some of us credit

Oh and Worrydad, some mumsnetters will sometimes say stuff to get a rise out of you (No....I didn't mean like that )

Just try to take the advice as well meaning, and if anyone "has a go", remember they don't know you, so it can't really be personal.

Oh, and some people come online just after a family row or something, and take it out on us. We usually apologise afterwards tho'

P.S. Dadslib, I'm really glad you didn't leave us last week X X X X X (don't tell my dh)
