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.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
