[email protected] has started (back) up. If you need advice from any dads or just need to get something off your chest, feel free to drop by.
let me know if wierduncleforaminute becomes a thing.
When reading the description, I also thought about dads asking for advices from other dads, could it be both? Also, why not include moms with something like
parentforaminute
?Hi thank you for mentioning me. r/dadforaminute is a subreddit I used to regularly contribute on Reddit and was focused on people asking advice from a fatherly figure. Yes, parentforaminute would be broader but I just started dadforaminute as the Reddit equivalent
It’s an analogue of the same subreddit which was spawned on reddit after “momforaminute” became very popular over there. I used to contribute on the dad one on reddit and I’m just a contributor making folks aware of the one here rather than being a mod or anything.
Also, I suppose kids come to different parents for different areas of advice and / or differing relationships with their parents. Certainly that’s the case with my own kids.

I don’t see any reason why not but again I’m not the mod.
edit: I do recall quite a few of the folks asking for help or advice being ones who had grown up without a dad and they felt a certain loss in that regard so were reaching out from that perspective. Also people whose father had died and they used to go to them for advice in a specific area.

If it is based on the gender of the parent, it could be a social construct that the Lemmy community may want to challenge.
Well, if it’s a question about blue balls…
transwomen know about that and can give advice from personal experience.
