well that was a lovely evening with the lads so thanks keef for suggesting this little foray, I have to say I am a little bleary eyed this morning though, perhaps I was a little bit weak when offered the fourth pint and the shot! Still small price to pay for some very interesting and lively chat about kids and great to meet some very cool people in the area. Now off to get steamy with a deseperate housewife!(well desperate to have no wall paper in the spare room):)) lets do it again soonish not too soon though I'm a bit too lightweight for that!!


thanks and hugs to all that made it!!

Hi, there's a Dad's drop-in session at Brockwell Park 1 o clock club on a Saturday morning, it's a really nice spacious club with a garden. I haven't been to this session, but it's apparently quite popular.


You could also come along to the new 'Bumps n Babes' group which is starting on 12th October in Goose Green Community Centre, every Monday 10am-12noon. It's a drop-in group for mums to be, new parents & carers of babies and young toddlers - I don't know how many other Dads will come along, but we do get the odd one or two at bumps n babes in Herne Hill.

Would be nice if this thread could keep going if only to keep dads coming into this part of the forum - it's supposed to be a family room not a mums' room, and it's great when the dads are here too.


Come to think of it, families are also grannies and uncles and cousins and siblings and stuff, so it should include everyone! - but you know what I mean.

Ok I'm throwing my cards in too.


2 boys 9 & 5 I'm a very hands on "Dad" changed career to be around them as much as possible. I love it & it gets better as time goes on.


We were the first of our social group to have children so I know how you feel. Once they start school though it really changes again.


Flexible with time & location though I do live near you.

well we could use an agreement on a date if keefs brssic on the 22nd I will stand him a pint or two or we could have a whip and all stick in what we can each like a tenner or something so if anyones skint they can put in next month, I will only have a pint or two so there should be extra in the kitty for those with a little less to put in!

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
