Finally cracked the Sunday meal prep — 5 meals, under £50, two kids who actually eat it. Happy to share the full list if anyone wants it.

Anyone dealt with a custody schedule change mid-school year? Need some perspective from dads who've been through this. Feeling overwhelmed.

My daughter said "Dad, you're my best friend" last night. Six months ago I didn't think I could handle this. This community helped me more than you know.

Dads who found their people

I joined two years ago after my divorce. Within a week I had three blokes from my area texting me. Now we cover school runs for each other.

The custody guides saved me real money. I went into mediation prepared. But honestly, the support from other dads matters most. Can't put a price on it.

I'm a widower raising two daughters. Finding dads who understood without needing me to explain everything was everything. This place is a lifeline.
