I might as well raise my hand along with all the other Dads. I'm a new member, the father of 3 girls and am mostly interested in understanding the female/wife/mother perspective with regards to family relationships. I will tend to be more of an observer than a participant, unless someone is interested in the male/husband/father perspective and I think I have something worth contributing.

I agree with the other poster who thought this was one of the few father friendly places around. I'm also impressed with the high level of critical thinking that is so evident in the majority of the posts.

Always willing to examine a different perspective.

I'm New and I'm Here

I'm new and interested in connecting with other dads too!

[Rotifer]

I'm always about (I read the forum at work) and searching for advice, this has been a great help in dealing with my ex. I'm a father to one terrific son and hope to connect with other single parents. I try to toss out some advice when i feel a male perspective is needed.

Cheers!

Dearest Mothering Friends:

My Father died two years ago. I was a papa's girl and I miss him very much. All you Fathers should never think that you are incidental in your children's lives. You are very important!

I have two younger brothers, and I have three sons, and I have chosen for myself one husband. But no one can take the place of a good, honest, hard-working Father.

In a girl's life, no one can take the place of a good Daddy! NO ONE!

Honest.

Proud Papa of John Storm!

Incidentally I disagree with Sears (and any other) who posit that baby in family bed should be positioned between mama and wall or edge of bed because papa "lacks the awareness" of baby during sleep. What a sexist position! Our 10 month old sleeps between us -or not depending on which side of the counter the milk is being served from! Snuggling with my son-especially during the first few months- was the best and still is. And I have of course the same sensitivity that mama has to his location at night and any sensitive parent will too.

I've recently joined the discussion boards and have been catching up on my reading. It's an interesting place, no question.

I'd love to "chat" with other Dads if you're around.

My question is... How did you deal with the common problem of "gate-keeping." My ex-partner was very protective of our baby. We slowly got over it but it was a major contention during those early years. How did you demonstrate your parenting skills?

Me, I changed my share of diapers, rocked our son to sleep on many nights, fed, held and walked the baby...

I'd be interested in your opinions.

*BUMP* Heheh .... Oh Hi, I'm one of the semi-lurker Dads out here... Some of you might know my wife, Lakin24. Actually, I'm relatively new to lurking on the forums. My hobbies include playing with my daughter, RPGs (computer and Tabletop), cooking, and tinkering with anything technological esp. computers. I've been looking for a good dads board and was severely disappointed with Yahoo. Well, nice to come out of the shadows for a min you'll probally see more of me around. Back to lurking.
