Hi Ladies,
I have such comfort knowing I have you all to help me when I'm in a jam or confused or scared or WHATEVER, but I see my poor husband trying so hard to be a good dad and really realized he has no one to help him in the same way I have all of you. Does anyone know of any type of online support like this for all those poor "clueless" men?
Added after a few responses: I'm sorry, what I guess I meant to really ask is about a place where dad's can talk about "Man" things of being a dad vs. mom things. I'm not talking diaper rash or colic, I'm talking about 'how to deal with the pressures of being a new dad, especially now that working wife is now ____@____.com mom', 'adjusting to no longer being #1 aka taking a back seat to the baby's needs', 'sex? what sex!'. You know, all the things I try to comfort him about but I think would be more well received if it came from guys who have already been there. That's what I'm looking for......

Men do use this site. He is welcome here to ask questions. It should be called Parentpedia! Its a great source for everyone young moms and older moms like me. I have seen dads on here asking questions.

There is a new website coming soon that "might* be helpful to your husband, and all husbands. It's written by me and my husband together. Brian covers topics from a husband's/father's perspective. Brian would be happy to take some questions and attempt to answer them in an article.
The website is up, but just hanging out while we get some more of the back-end work done. however, the suggestions box is available and functioning - http://familycenteredliving.com
Hope to see you both there!

I'm just shaking my head thinking about if someone asked my husband a question about probiotics or diaper rash, or what to do about excessive diarhea or vomiting, or sniffling nose, etc. and he would answer ... uh, I don't know ask my wife. haha. . I think there are plenty of dads out there with the answers, but there are definitely many many more moms out there. ;)
My dh and I were JUST talking about this last night!
We said 'why don't they have a daddypedia' site up yet??? :0)
I have seen some guys asking questions on here also - but im sure its not the same for them if they actually had their own site - with other men to ask!!!
