Hey Just woundering where all the dads are chatting :confused:
Most of them can't get on the computer because their wives have monopolised it.:p My DH is a member here but doesn't get on much. If you have some specific questions I will hassle him to do his own typing and come on for a chat. He is around a bit over Christmas so I might succeed!

I got told to join so I could talk to other dads so I wouldn't monopolise our children. We had a great Christmas with my 3 year old only really interested in ripping paper off presents and not really caring what the actual present was.
Hey guys... first time Dad here. Located in just on the outskirts of Melbourne.
Most of them can't get on the computer because their wives have monopolised it.:p
So true !
Hiya guys how has everyone been??
Daddyof2 where abouts in Nowra are you from?
Hiya guys how has everyone been??
Heya :)
I'm fine, currently realising there's not many dad's on this forum.
No there isn't hay but you guys just keep popping up all over the place so I'm sure that soon there will be more lol.
Jay,Lee&Nikkita'sdad aka ID or Colin is from Ireland so that's why you dont hear from him very much lol.
But hay I'm happy to chat to anyone lol :D
Maybe it's time to pick my cat up and put her on my lap so I can rub my hands together evilly and watch as the men take over?? Heh :)
I gather you're in Nowra? How're things down there?
lol no i'm not in Nowra but i use to live the when i was younger.
im in QLD now but i wish i was back down there some times.
Kimmy: Ah I sorta missed then didn't I!
How's the sunshine state treating you?

"And I just told you that I'm not telling anyone what they should do with their child, just what my opinion is about the topic, so I'm not sure why you are taking anyone else's opinion as a personal attack. But you're right.. it's going around in circles and I'm over it, just as I'm sure you are." by Cosmic
I know the thread was closed Barry but I just wanted to say that I think you were hardly done by. Although i disagree with your opinion, thats what it is - an opinion and i feel that YOU were the one attacked for having that opinion. Hope it didn't put you off.

*shrugs*
I just don't quite understand why it's not possible to have a conversation without it becoming fanatical, they say they want facts but when facts are provided suddenly it seems as if I'm written off as some sort of lurking nutter who goes around promoting and trying to brainwash people.
I made my choice as a parent and think it's as simple as that, if someone else chooses the same or different that's their choice to make on their own, not be bamboozed into thinking they're the devil's incarnate if they choose one option over another and that the entire western medical system will think they're a crazied lunatic.
I think it's more annoying that the statements were made and the thread closed before I had the ability to reply to their accusations.
Ahh well.
Oh i'm sorry i didnt think you replied to me lol, yeah its hot up here but hay winter is not to far away.
Wow KateP i must have missed something here lol what was that about???
So how are you doing Barry?
Ah i have no idea what you guys are talking about

A closed circumcision thread...
Ahhh ok then ill have to have a look
Oh i'm sorry i didnt think you replied to me lol, yeah its hot up here but hay winter is not to far away.

Yeah I think winter is better myself as you can put more clothes on to stay comfy where as in summer there's only so much you can take off before being arrested! ;)
In regards to what KateP posted to me, it's from a different thread where people were a little... shall I say unwelcoming?
I'm okay, just had guests over and am currently cooking dinner, pork chops! yum yum!

Kate, it's still a public forum and we can all see your posts, so maybe a PM would be better if you want to carry on the conversation? A topic was debated. No-one was attacked.
Barry, I'm sorry that you think some of us were unwelcoming. The circumcision debate is a heated one (I was initially surprised to discover that, so perhaps you are too?) and unfortunately people DO come here just to stir it up. Obviously it makes no difference to me what you do to your son but we are all entitled to have and express an opinion. It's not personal. :)
wow - barry you are increasingly surprising - a man that can multi-taks - cook and post! he he:p
It's how we men find out mates, we roar, bang our chests and cook delicious meals.
K No-one was attacked.
Barry, I'm sorry that you think some of us were unwelcoming.
Inferring multiple times that I have an agenda is both unwelcoming and a personal attack.
I fail to see why I am faulted for being knowledgeable. Have you considered that perhaps the reason I know so much about both sides of the debate is because I have done ample research on the matter? I was under the impression this was a forum open to all including those who're intelligent and well-read however it seems it's a bad thing to be knowledgeable.
I'm sorry that you're unable to have a factual conversation without passive-aggressive attacks inferring I'm some sort of pro-circumcision activist spreading propaganda.
I came straight out and asked you if you had an agenda Barry and told you my reason for asking.
I can see how it appears to you and have apologised for that. Perhaps in time you will see how it looks from this side and might be able to accept that. Good night.
ahhh i see.
well i can say that i am undecided about the whole circumcision thing & i have a 6yrs old so you will not get any crap from me lol but i try to stay away from those topic for this very reason.
Anyway how old is you lil man Barry???
My lil girl is 11mths old.
I came straight out and asked you if you had an agenda Barry and told you my reason for asking.
See, I can overlook that once as a simple mistaken assumption which happens to everyone now and again in all situations in life and yes, you did apologise for it.
However to then infer a second time that I have an agenda after I've already told you I don't and am just a father who has just signed up (which you could have already confirmed by my other posts in other areas if you were concerned about such a thing) is a flat out attack.
To be frank, it's left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.
ahhh i see.

Well there's plenty of information out there on the matter if the time comes when you need to make a choice - you can also talk to your local GP for more information or the hospital. I personally think it's best to make the choice before the child is born however rather than having to "rush" a decision. Each to their own though :)
My little man is about to turn the big one!! We're currently in the midst of sending out invitations to family/friends. We'll be having a combined Blessing Day & Birthday, it should be great - we're already been out shopping for a cute little outfit for him to wear! (We've actually got about 5 as we keeping finding really cute ones!!!).

Well.. i disagree
hOOLEY DOOLEY, some people need to take a chill pill. No wonder threads are closed. I am well aware that this message would have been said. But like everyone else, im entitled to my opinion and in that opinion i felt that you were attacking barry and not allowing him to have the right to be comfortable in his argument. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It is a real shame that some people are put off this site quite frequently when it is meant to be a support unit rather than something that causes undue angst.
wow big 1yr old how cool is that lol, you should join the Jan - march 2005 thread then, Chloe will turn 1 on the 17th next mth so yay.
Good luck with it all tho i hope it turns out to be a great day for you guys.

I'd have to agree with KateP, if it weren't for the other people in the other threads I've been speaking to being so welcoming I wouldn't have bothered coming back to this site after being attacked for trying to have a conversation about a matter that every parent of a son needs to at some stage consider.

Hehe I have to find all these threads, I've been recommended to join the Campbelltown thread but as I'm new to here I'm still on a little adventure trying to find everything in between running about trying to look after real life things.
yeah that's cool you have plenty off time hay, so when is you lil mans big day?

He'll be hitting the big single digit on the 7th of March!
dam, you beat me lol just joking hahahaaaa, so is he the only one then?
Hay i wouldn't worry to much about this topic you guys, you have posted your opinion & so what some people didnt agree with that but hay what ever that's there choose isn't it? so why dont we just move pass it now & enjoy the rest of the night.
No offence meant by this ;)
dam, you beat me lol just joking hahahaaaa, so is he the only one then?
Yup he's our only little angel at the moment, but we're hoping to have another bun in the oven at the end of this year.
good luck to you guys then, i have a 5 yr gap between my two & I'm 25 so i have plenty of time for more hay lol.
so are you enjoying bubhub other then that one thing?

I totally agree. :)

Kate, I think by reading Barry's posts it's fair to say he was not happy with how he feels he was treated and I've said I'm sorry about that more than once. I can also tell you that people using threads like this one (and others) to continually point the finger and have a go at me doesn't make me feel great either. So here we have two people who feel pretty crappy, but you would prefer to perpetuate that situation rather than let it rest, just so that you can have your 2c worth.

Sorry x 2 that the dadchat turned into this, but i spose i only have myself to blame for that. Sorry dads.
Please refrain from carrying on issues from one thread to another, if you have something that bothers you about a particular member, please contact them, or a mod or admin. Please dont use other threads to gossip or to put down other members. It would be a shame to see another thread closed because people cant accept that this is an open forum and everyone is entitled to their opinion.
For what its worth Barry, those of us that have been here awhile are always suspicious of newcomers who make a beeline for the circ threads, we have seen to many people with an agenda come in and pose as someone they are not to try and get their point across. Please let this rest, Cosmic is a wonderful, kind, well respected member of this forum who openly asked what many others were no doubt thinking and has apologised several times for the confusion. I will now leave you dads to talk about dad stuff. :)
This is Jade's dad here.. bring on the cricket talk.
This is Jade's dad here.. bring on the cricket talk.
I have to say, I can't stand cricket - it seems so slooooooooooooow. I'd find it a bit more appealing if it was hit-and-run but I just can't seem to dedicate myself to someone knocking the ball away constantly and standing there like a stunned ball-hitting mullet!
Maybe I'm not Australian after all!

Hi Jades dad, I personally cannot believe Ponting is still supporting Jason Gillespie :eek: :eek: Dude, get a haircut!
Jade's Dad has been banished from the computer (I can't believe her got it from me in the first place!) but he is a Gillespie fan... if McGrath doesn't make the tour, who else is going to bowl along with Lee? he says.
Barry, don't be too put out by the cricket talk.. Jades dad can and will talk about any sport.. :rolleyes:
Barry, don't be too put out by the cricket talk.. Jades dad can and will talk about any sport.. :rolleyes:
Hah, I'm not - used to work at ING and we'd get so much cricket info as they sponsored it, weekly updates, merchandise, box tickets blah blah blah... constant cricket talk around the watercooler.
I think I've developed cricket talk antibodies!

On the plus side, children can be inspired by watching sports on TV, so I guess this in turn encourages less TV watching & more healthy activity!
