Are Dad's Welcome Here Too?

Welcome P.! I like some of the dads on here more than some of the moms.
What are we going to do when one of the men starts his question with "TMI " ?

Yup!

Although... for all anyone knows... I (or anyone else) could just be a very well read 12yo boy ;)

Welcome aboard!
Some (a very few) women here like to think it's an all girls club but I think anyone who wants to talk about parenting issues should feel free to discuss them here.

I sure hope so.
Heads up though, if the post starts with "TMI" , you can read... but DON'T answer LOL.
Welcome

Yes.

Like marriage - you'll get the hang of it. Eventually.

Hi P. and Jim,
I'm one of the dads. I enjoy the banter and some of the questions. Some of the questions I have and Idea on, but don't answer because of the nature of the question.

I do answer the questions I have some expertise in. AND I have learned A LOT about human nature that I never would have guessed even existed. I enjoy the opportunity to do good and help others that's why I'm here.

Good luck to you and yours.

P., you are absolutely welcome here! I saw in another post that you just want to raise your daughters rights. Your attitude is refreshing! I am a big fan of Jim at Home Dad and Dad on Purpose. You will fit right in!
There are a few dads that are on here to "balance out the estrogen" and have the attitude that they need to teach the ladies a thing or two(which I need to clarify is not attractive), but you seem to get it that we all (moms and dads) are learning together.

SAHD's are awesome!

....sure....At Your Own Risk....

;)

of course dads are welcome here!!

three girls?!?!? ooh my!! what drama!!

you will get all types of advice here - good, great and awesome as well as bad, horrible and even worse!! :) But take it in stride Daddy!! Take what you need and laugh off the rest!!

Yes, P., we have dads here. We welcome you here. The only thing that some of us feel is that we would appreciate only ladies talking about our body parts and sex. It is embarrassing for some of us to have men comment about issues regarding breasts and vaginas. We have only had one man do that - the other dads keep mum on those threads. We ladies would rather pretend that men aren't reading that...

Welcome to the site!
Dawn

Hell no! go away!

Just kidding, we have a few dads around here.

Mom of four lies, we treat them like our husbands. :p

If you haven't figured it out, don't take me seriously.

LOL @ JIM!! Oh I'm dying...

Welcome! Beware of the claws though ;)

Actually, you're a SAHD ;-) And sure you're welcome as long as you don't mind the discussions about pregnant bikini waxes and lactating.

Of course, welcome!

Like one other poster mentioned, might want to tune out when the question starts w/TMI......grilie stuff you may not want to read.

Also, if we may have something negative to say about our male counterparts once in awhile, we are not male bashing.......we have a reason we are venting about them! :)

Hi dad. We welcome your male perspective. My husband was a sahd and I really respect yall for that! While here, Please take the good and ignore the bad. We occasionally cyber pms all over each!

Of course! Some of us do like to hear/read what dad's have to say...some of the best advice I'v rec'd on here has come from the dads!

ADDED BTW...not all of us are uncomfortable with a man answering TMI questions.

Yes, they do.
So far all of them a great addition to mamapedia.

Hey P.....yeah SAHD (you are not a stay-at-home-mom-dad...just a stay at home dad!) are welcome. As are working dads. BUT....be aware. There are some JFF (just for fun) questions on here that may deal with sex or our periods, mucous plugs, and breastfeeding that may make you a bit uncomfortable! Welcome
L.

Welcome! I think a dad's perspective is important! And, Jim is right, watch out for the TMI posts!

Indeed! I agree that we're not always nice=) I also think you'll be thanking the heavens every day your wife is not one of us, since you'll get to see what goes on in our crazy heads. lol. Luckily we can ussually straighten eachother out and give eachothr a new persepecive before we go ape and let our significant others see what we really are thinking.
I like the male perspective even on the TMI comments, afterall it did take ingredients from a guy to become mom. I';m sure you guys have seen it all through living with girls so even if its a "girly" question about vaginas I'm sure you have great imput too

Welcome aboard, Mr mom! There are a couple regular dads floating around, and they ask some of the best questions, and give great dad-minded answers :-)

Hi P.
Welcome to Mamapedia. Also Thank you so much for doing what you are doing for your family. Thank you for caring enough about your babies to come to a momma website for advice.
WE ALL LOVE JIM from Katy. He posts some great though provoking questions and his opinion is much appreciated. He does make me sick sometimes that his marriage is so happy!! JUST KIDDING!
I have been a member for a number of years but really just became a daily contributer this year. You will see some of the same names over and over on here and get to know us. Most of us are pretty nice, but you know what they say about too much estrogen, someone is gonna get bitc6y!! hehe.
Welcome, Good luck and GOD BLESS!
D.

Yep, not a lot, but they are out there. Welcome!

Yes of course. I'd love to get a mans point of view on these message boards.

Any parent that loves and wants the best for their children are welcome here.

Hexck I read many of the questions to my husband to get his thoughts and ideas.. So really we are like a couple on here some times.

Bless your heart, you are out numbered by women over there.

Yes of course. For the most part we aren't too hard on the Dad's. ;)

absolutely :)
I love hearing a guys side to a lot of the issues that come up here. There are a couple dads that chime in regulary.
WELCOME!

Hi P.,

Thanks for joining our discussions. I love all the differing opinions and am usually very interested in reading how the dad's on this site see things. We do get a bit bi**hy sometimes, but it keeps things exciting.

Looking forward to reading some of your opinions!

Of course!

While most of us are "Mamas," there are a few dads too. And not all of us are SAHM/D's.

Welcome!

Nice to meet you. Welcome.

The only advice I will pass on is that the written word comes across differently than the spoken word. If you post a question be prepared to have it taken wrong and people saying things pretty bluntly sometimes.

I have had that happen a couple of times and my entire question was taken wrong. It helps to just gloss over the ones that are not what you were looking for and to take to heart that we are all "women" who can be influenced by our day, how our kids are acting, how life is going in the home, hormones, etc...we don't always mean to come off as cranky old biddies(I am 52 11/12 yrs old) but we do mean well. Even those of us who are opinionated.

Again, welcome.

Sure, there are dads here! Welcome aboard.
It's good to get a man's perspective.
Hope you enjoy it!

Don't care who shows up here as long as they aren't a TROLL.

Hate the trolls!

Welcome! There will definitely be a lot of TMI, but us mama's always appreciate other views. You will most likely surprise your significant other with some of the things you read here!

Welcome P.!

I welcome ALL points of view...and think that the 'dads' we have here contribute a lot...and often express a point of view from a bit of a different perspective.

I have often wished the site were called 'parent pedia'...I think it would open the door for MORE dads...

Welcome again!
Best Luck!

Welcome, there are other dads here. My husband is also a stay at home dad to our three girls.

Welcome.

Life is full of grouchy, opinionated people. This site is no exception. Like others have said, tune out the comments that try to get under your skin and pay attention to all the good advice floating around here since there is plenty to be had.

hmmm, someone "recommended" this site, why?

Hey P. in my opinion yes, but I would first seek advice from your mom, grandma or sisters before on this sight, not that this site isn't a good site, it's just that your mom and grandmother already have raiseded kids (like myself) we know what works and what doesn't. I life my hands to you for being a stay at home dad. J.

Welcome, sometimes we need to bounce questions and ideals around to find out where we stand. Glad to have you.

dads are welcome, and sarcastic, yet, sincere moms are too.
K. h.

Yep...welcome aboard! :)

Nanc

Yes!!
Look forward to your questions

Welcome! I enjoy having dads around on parenting sites. I hope you'll find the other parents here friendly and helpful. A dad's perspective on various parenting issues can be really helpful to us moms :)
