Mums v Dads

With all due respect Andrea there is no distinction between moneysaving Mum's and Dads. I'm a Dad and I see no benefit in posting a thread on the moneysaving Dads forum as it completely limits my responses.

In many (most) cases the responses of moneysaving Mums, singles and others is invaluable and quite often provides a perspective that hadn't previously been considered. Was any thought given to this when the board was created?

I've asked this question of you before but didn't get a reply - it would be really good to get some response on this occasion because I am genuinely interested in knowing.

Any thoughts?

Probably because he's scared that they will think he is trying to chat them up...... you know what you woman are like !! :rotfl::rotfl:....

On the contrary, he's probably scared that they'll try to chat him up! Marley has taken our son to playgroups, and he reports that the women dare each other to speak with him, try to flirt with him, etc. They presumably thought he was a single Dad ... until the week I went along too. And boy did I get some glares from them!!

JimmytheWig, just to answer your question, the new MoneySaving Mums and MoneySaving Dads boards were created so parents can discuss the MoneySaving aspects of parenting and be able to find the information, rather than general (non-MoneySaving) parenting discussion amongst others on the main board.

Thanks. Though I guess I meant that we haven't been told what the purpose of keeping the Mums and Dads separate was.
