I was just wondering if there are many men or male identified people who post in the hb forums? My partner has had some need of support recently as a newish dad (going on 5 months) and I thought I'd recommend some forums and blogs. While I definitely think that getting support and advice from mom's and mom's to be is wonderful I know he is also looking for people to relate to his experience As we discuss him becoming a sahd.

@msplatypus: There are just a few dads here on the boards!
There are some growing SAH dad communities, but I haven't seen a lot of sites for working parents who are dads...
-
I'm not sure how active they are, but I know reddit has a few subs that are dad/male oriented. Has he checked out any of those?

Mr. Bee is the only dad poster that I know of on here. I agree with twist and think the forums on reddit might be a good fit. I like that reddit always has a very diverse audience and people from all walks of life.

In the "what to expect" app for pregnancy, they do have a group called "dads corner" I am not sure if it is soley for men whose wives are pregnant but you could check that out and see if men use it post baby too. It seemed to have a good amount of posts and responders last time I peeked at it.

I'd be interested to know if there are other dads here too!
-
Check out the subreddit, Daddit.

@msplatypus: The podcast "Longest Shortest Time" has facebook groups called "Longest Shortest Time Mamas" and "Longest Shortest Time Papas" that I think are fairly active. I was in the mamas one for a while but it was filling up my news feed!
-
Totally third the daddit subreddit on reddit.

Hi, I'm a dad of a 2.5-year-old and have been on HB for a bit under 2 years (though a bit quiet for the last month or two...).

@.twist.: @travelingnanny:
@MrsKoala: @loveisstrange: Thanks for the reddit suggestion! He checked it out last night! -
@msplatypus: I just sent my dh a link to a site called fatherly.com. I don't think it has forums but it has articles focused on dads
