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.

    • It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.
    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.  
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money.
