[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH here. I meet up with other dads for drinks/etc. Never with kids. We schedule them at a time when that's easy to do, like 9pm once the kids are in bed.[/quote]

Why can’t you dads ever take the kids out to laser tag or plan a camping trip or something? Start with something easy like going to the movies. I think it’s really odd when dads don’t take initiative with their kids. My DH and his friends take the kids camping every year while the moms get a night out. [/quote]

Many women I know do not want a strange man with their kids. They think it is weird if a dad plans outing, play dates or shows interest in kids. I know one mom who will not let their kids in car pool if a dad is driving. The DH taking the kids camping…these mothers would think the DH was a pedophile. Seriously this is really common. [/quote]

Umm they go camping with other dads. Each dad brings their own kids and they go together. The families are friends, so it’s not just some “strange man.” I think it’s really sad that you find it weird for a dad to drive carpool or plan outings.[/quote]
