Dads & Dads-to-be

Do you post anywhere else?

I noticed a couple dads on the Nest Money Matters board.  I was thinking if we could get an idea of what people are interested in talking about we might be able to put a little more life in this board.  There may be like minded folks here, but it just hasn't come up.

I post occasionally in the Money Matters and Technology boards on the Nest.  I lurk the landscape and renovation boards, but haven't joined the conversation yet.  I would post in the sports one but it is basically dead.  I don't post anywhere else on the Bump.

Anyone else want to share where they post or maybe just what you'd like to talk about here?

Re: Do you post anywhere else?

  • I lurk on my son's and my new son's birth month boards, and on my local board to see if anything is coming up locally that I'm not aware of.  Beyond that, I'm pretty much here.

  • I post on the Politics board on the Nest, although that has gotten a lot less interesting post-election. I also am pretty regular on the Parenting board, which has a somewhat deceptive title. It should be renamed Snarky Parents.

    -My son was born in April 2012. He pretty much rules.
  • I will occassionally post on the 0-3 month board and the August 2012 board, but most of the time I just lurk there because they act all offended when a strong-minded male inserts his thoughts into the mix.

    Most of the birth month boards tend to take themselves very seriously and lean cliquish. The 0-3, 3-6 and 6-9 boards tend to be dominated by fairly technical questions. Useful as a resource, just not that "fun".

    This is why I generally don't post anywhere else on the bump.  Male presence generally is not taken kindly.

  • I am now posting on the June 2011 board and the July 2013.  I have checked out the money matters board also.  I tend to answer more to posts then to ask questions or post myself.

  • If you want an entertaining board- come to Parenting. It is where the party is at for sure.

    Thanks for ruining my afternoon at work.  I didn't get a single thing done.  There are some funny people over there!

  • I post and comment on a few places within thebump. Mainly all of the ones that apply to us, 0-3 months, September 2012, C-section, etc. I use to read and post in the Baby Showers when my wife was preparing for her shower(s) and those women are bitter and angry towards one another....not sure why, but man they have a lot of hate towards one another.

    I've never been to thenest, but I own my own home and I'm constantly doing renovations, etc so that would be a cool place to visit.

    I'm open to any additional discussions. Money, Home, Children, etc. would all be cool.

    That makes me so sad! I'd love to see more dads-to-be on the July 2013 board (only because I'm there and I'm selfish). It's great to have a dad's perspective on what's going on too. I hope no one there ever makes you feel unwelcome.
