I was sitting here, talking to my hubby and trying to explain to him how cool I thought this site was. I told him there was a group for pretty much everything, and that everyone I'd talked to so far seemed really nice. I told him I was really looking forward to meeting some people and going to a few play groups and what not. Bah, I'm missing the point of my own story, lol.
I thought I'd check the groups and see if there was anyone interested in doing things as a whole family. Or maybe even something setting up father/son days or something along those lines. Dean plays a very active part in our family. He spends time with the boys, he takes us places, he's a parent and he acts like one. I knew that was somewhat rare, but come on.. Have any of you checked the groups for anything relating to 'dad' lately? There's pages and pages of groups about 'deadbeat' dad's but I couldn't find ONE that had ANYTHING to do with productive, active fathers. There were a few for step-dad's, but that's it.
Do all of your kids have 'deadbeat' dads? Doesn't anyone have anything GOOD to say about the man they choose to have children with? I mean come on! I know this is a 'mom' site, but really? Daddy's a big part of our household, and while I'm very excited about meeting some other mom's and having fun with the kids, I'd like to find something to do with the whole family some time. I suppose I'll start a group and see what happens.
Oh, and for the record.. I know there are a LOT of deadbeat parents out there. My oldest son's never even met his birth father- not by our choice. I understand the need to vent, and that people bond over common problems and all that. I'm not really against the deadbeat dad groups, if you choose to look at things that way, it's up to you, but personally I moved on from that and ended up with a wonderful man that is a great father to both of my children. They're not all bad, really. There's a lot of messed up mom's out there too, it just really disturbed me to see so much negativity and not ONE bit of possitive.

Any guy can make a baby, but it takes a man to be a real father! My 7 yr. old son does have a DB dad that is not in his life, but I won't waiste my time and energy bad mouthing. Never have never will! Now my husband is a Father, step or not, the best thing that could've happened to us both, then came his baby brother. It is unfortunate, but the truth. Would Dads actually do this type of thing, few and far between, I'd imagine, but he will be that guy taking the kids to the pool so mom gets a break. Cafedad?????? Hmmmmmmm

Sky,
I'm really lucky. My best friend is my hubby. He is sleeping now so he can get up early to go to work. He is devoted, caring, interesting, romantic, I could go on and on. Occasionally he appologizes because he doesn't know how to fix things and keep the house looking really spiffy like my dad can. I then tell him 1) I knew that when I married you and 2) I don't care - he is good at the things in life that are really important, like being a great hubby, dad and friend. He helps me keep things together when I go through a severe bout of depression. He even had to help me christmas shop this year because I was so depressed.
I know that not many women marry their best friends. I do think that a lot of us who love our hubbies don't say so enough.
