Dads & Dads-to-be

Do you dudes post on other boards?

I'm gonna be honest, although I have lurked on other boards even before my LO popped into the world, I only registered to post here and am a little scared/intimidated to post elsewhere. Obviously I'm not exactly an expert on breast feeding or post pregnancy weight loss, but there are threads I could probably contribute to. Anyone else feel the same way, or am I the only chicken?

  • I hit the 2nd trimester board every now and again and do a little lurking on October 2012 moms.  I try not go let a sence of intimidation take over, after all it's just a message board.

  • Please post on the other boards if it interests you. I love hearing the male perspective, even if it's something you've directly experienced (eg Breastfeeding) or not.

  • And to think, I have been posting on the women's boards for the last 5 months, and not one of them directed me to this.  WTH????

     I tried other boards, but they are not active at all.  I still have some posts going unanswered since Feb.

  • I post on other boards and even ask questions. Some boards have crazy activity so I get answers that I can report back to my wife within hours, it's kinda cool.

    I'm a fan of the 0-3 month board since they ask questions that I wonder about since our kid is coming soon. I also check out the Month/Year board that we are due just to see what questions are being asked.

    Hey, you're here to learn and build community. I would go where ever I could find that!

    It is cool until a few of them start accusing us of stalking, or even worse, when we post on one of their threads!

    Y'all only have one board so I think most of us ladies don't want to take over "your" space.  But since this applies to "ours" I would say come on over.  You may not be an expert on actual breast feeding, but you're probably an expert on how it feels to see your formerly sexy wife in nothing but sweats and a dirty pony tail with her cracked nipples hanging out for the world to see...nipples that used to belong to YOU.

    So yeah, a little male perspective would be welcome. 

    I have to say, yoga pants replacing sweat pants as the de facto loungewear is perhaps humanity's greatest accomplishment of the past decade. Call me crazy, but I've always liked ladies in ponytails. I do miss free and open access to her boobs though!

    Parenting looks interesting... definitely a bit of a "Wild West" thing going on there... which I kinda dig.

    I would have to agree with the bolded...for us too.  No one feels cute in sweats.  No one.

    And yeah, it's almost as depressing for us as it is for you when the girls become milk machines for a year.  At least for me.  Boob play was the best foreplay pre-baby.  It took a YEAR for me to feel like my boobs were mine again.  Or H's.

    ETA:  Or maybe that's not the kind of info you're looking for over here on the dad's board. Embarrassed

    I loved some aspects of nursing, but mostly, it sucked. My H was a trooper when I ended up having to exclusively pump the last 6 months. I hated it.

    I HAD TO LIMIT MY BEERS. 

    Tragic.

    That *is* tragic. Your child will probably never appreciate the sacrifices you had to make for them!

  • Well I'm a Mom-to-be lurking on the Dad's board (I just got kinda curious as to what types of things you might have on your mind cause maybe my husband has the same things on his mind and just not talking about these "things") and now posting so I say lurk on any board you want and if you feel you have something to add do it.  I think different perspectives are always helpful unless something is turned into a joke and then the Ladies may rail you for it :)
