DadChat tonight at O’Toole’s

Tonight from 7 p.m – 9 p.m. some fathers are gathering at O’Toole’s to discuss dadness. I can’t make it due to having some dad duties but I went last time and had a good time. I recommend stopping by. What exactly is Dadchat? See below from the Fatherhood Initiative of Commonwealth Parenting Facebook page.

Want an excuse to get out of the house? Come talk with the guys about being a dad. Great guys and great locations. Help yourself be a better dad and help others too. Skills and tools to improve your relationship with your family and have more fun.

Talking about being a dad is something that we men don’t do. It somehow isn’t cool to talk around the water cooler or in the lunchroom at work about your kid’s poop, helping with homework, or how to stay in your daughter’s life as she grows up. DadChat is a time for those conversations.

We get together at various restaurants and watering holes around the Richmond area (always one with a good menu and drink selection) to have these conversations. Bring your questions and thoughts about being a dad. The event is always informal and free. The discussion at DadChat is moderated by a professional Family Educator and experienced dad, but the content of the conversation is provided by those who come and join in. Please think about joining us—it is a great way to be a better dad (and maybe get out of doing the dishes)!

We hope you can make the time to come and join us.
