Hello, sorry if this thread has already been done, search didn't bring anything up.


I was wondering if there are any dad groups around, as I basically don't really have anyone to talk to about dad stuff.


I see all my mates, who will try and listen to me, but basically haven't a clue what I'm on / moaning about, as none of them have kids. One of my best friends had a kid 2 months before we did, but had just moved way up north, and so the perfect support buddy was taken away (something we both lament).

Are you around during the week or is it at weekends?


During the week some Dads come to the Leapers playgroup sessions at Rye Oak School (Tuesday and Wednesday, 9 - 11.30am and 1 - 3.30pm).


There is also a Dads only playgroup at Peckham Rye Library on Saturday mornings, but I'm not sure of the times sorry.

You can always start a thread to meet up with local dads. My husband meets up with another friend once in a while with the kids during the week. I'm sure they'd be up for meeting other local dads, as well.


Also, the Peckham Rye O'Clock Club had a few dads there, and I think that CitizenED goes (although I've never seen or met him!).


Best,

Thanks. During the week is problematic, as I'm a 9-5 man (well, I don't take that entirely seriously, but you know what I mean), so evenings or weekends.


Not sure what I'm looking for, would be interested in either meeting with kids, or just meeting for a pint and chat.

Hey I'm a dad to be so I would be up for a pint, this will be my first and if I am honest I feel a little bit freaked by it all, the missus has a load of friends rooting for her but I could use a little dad chat and most of my friends either don't have kids or live a long way away.

I hear ya man, very very similar situation to mine, I'm just a bit further along.


As ratty says, there could be some milage in this. I'd be up for meeting with kids, but also meeting for a pint, and not necessarily chatting about kids all the time, but having people around who had been there, or were going to be there.


I've read a couple of books by blokes about having kids, some of which rang true, but that doesn't replace real life people.

Ooh, my first ever post in this neck of the woods.

Keef, you don't need a group to have a pint with me where we moan together about sleepless nights due to crying rather than getting too messy and getting locked in to the house and noone working out how to get the door open.

I'm up for it.


For the record first time dad, due in January. Hopefully fulll time dad sometime in march or April.

Can't wait.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
