    It’s an analogue of the same subreddit which was spawned on reddit after “momforaminute” became very popular over there. I used to contribute on the dad one on reddit and I’m just a contributor making folks aware of the one here rather than being a mod or anything.

    Also, I suppose kids come to different parents for different areas of advice and / or differing relationships with their parents. Certainly that’s the case with my own kids.

    I also thought about dads asking for advices from other dads, could it be both?

    I don’t see any reason why not but again I’m not the mod.

    edit: I do recall quite a few of the folks asking for help or advice being ones who had grown up without a dad and they felt a certain loss in that regard so were reaching out from that perspective. Also people whose father had died and they used to go to them for advice in a specific area.











  • If you don’t mind me asking, how often did politics come up with your parents?

    Edit: just for my own perspective, they came up a little with my father while he was still alive and very, very rarely with my mother who I still see daily. I gently gauge the political position that my kids have but I’ve raised them all with empathy as a central tenet of their upbringing so that’s more or less where they tend to fall as best I can tell.

    I am not interested in ending up where you did and I mean that with kindness.
