[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are more likely to meet SAH dads if you live within walking boundaries of your elementary.[/quote]

What's the theory behind your statement?[/quote]

The parents of walkers get to school around ten minutes early for pick up, esp the first couple of weeks of school.

There are almost always a couple of dads there, particularly with the younger kids.  Some are just on their day off, others telecommute or work part time and are there a few days a week and some are SAH.

Everyone eventually start chatting with each other, and a few weeks to months into the year evryone is saying hi, making small talk, walking home or hanging out at the playground together.

It is very easy to meet other parents and also easier to meet other dads if your kid is a walker.[/quote]

OP responding here:  This is really helpful information.  I will most likely fit into the Dad working part-time category within another year or two, and would like to have neighbors that also care about having a more walkable lifestyle.  My wife and I have been planning to hold off on buying until we can get a home within a short walk of a swim club or popular playground area.  Are elementary school playgrounds available to the community during the summer and after school hours?
