Hi everyone, long time lurker first time poster.
Does it matter I'm a mum on a dads forum? I'm a huge believer in capability not gender, so have looked on the Dads site for many a year for better advice than mumsnet... but now I need some advice on my situation and mumsnet seem like women scorned.
Hi Extremophile,
Welcome to the forum. I know we have other women on the forum, one of my favourite posters here is a woman. From my experience on the forum, any advice you are likely to receive will put the children first.
I am also a great believer in trying to understand the other persons point of view, and over the years some of the best advice I have received have come from listening to the woman's point of view. I know I have spoken to women who have valued my view point regarding issues with their partners, I also know some would like to string me up, but that is okay too.
In short, please post your question and I am sure the members here will try to help you.
Hi There,
.
As said above, although this forum looks as though it is aimed at fathers, and in truth it probably is, we welcome all, we have mums and grandparents on here and we try and help them all with honest advice.
.
You will find some members don't always like it if you are being negative about ex's and the way they have behaved towards you, but that's going to be the same anywhere you go, the difference on this forum is that we monitor those type of posts and we can and will control things if they aren't being constructive.
.
Post your question and we will try and help you.
