[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Berkeley. I know it's a different dynamic here, but I know a lot of dads who coordinate the social calendars or at least share that duty. There are a lot of parents work from home or job share, dads included, as well as dads who SAH. In those situations where the dads are home more, they usually take over the social activities. Sometimes the dads hang out together, but there are often moms and dads hangig out together. A lot of us have opposite gendered running partners while the kids are at school or activities. I've never noticed it being awkward or anyone being excluded because of gender.

I think if he could make friends with one or two moms and breakthrough into the group that way, it will normalize him and people will include him more. If you're friends with any of them, maybe you could explain the situation to them and help break the ice for him. [/quote]

Don't tell me that. We want to move to Bay Area but can't find jobs (we are both in 40s so I think hard to break into new fields?). Nice weather and less traditional parent role dynamics, sign us up. [/quote]

Well we do have a massive drought. And lots of fog. And earthquakes. Maybe go see San Andreas and you'll want to move here less ;)[/quote]
