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 also thought about dads asking for advices from other dads, could it be both?
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.
Beyond calls and texts I'm very selective with my YouTube "bell" subscriptions so I allow notifications there as I generally want to watch them.
Calendar. Banking apps. That's it.
All notifications are silent and have been forever. If it's important someone will call me, otherwise I don't want my phone to interrupt what I'm doing.
My own experience with this was posting a shower thoughts thread while quite inebriated, forgetting I'd done it then waking up with a fairly full inbox so nothing controversial or argumentative.
The biggest issue would be stopping sharing spares. Given the current government's proclivity for using any leverage they can get their hands on.... Well.... I'd be nervous if I'd bought them.
OH MY GOD! I had one of those! I haven't seen a picture of one since.
The keyboard was so awful. I don't remember getting it as a birthday or other gift so it must have been a hand me down from a family friend or something.
