Welcome to the dad lounge This community is here to help dads enjoy the early stages of fatherhood without feeling overwhelmed by everything that comes with it. My names Ben and in a first time dad to a 1 year old. Like a lot of dad's I struggled in the early stages mainly because it's a big adjustment, you get a couple of weeks with your newborn and then have to get back to normal and add this little life into your schedule going back to work etc. I often felt that if I had somewhere to take 5 chat to people in the same boat, have a laugh and feel normal for a portion of my evening after the baby was asleep I would have coped better. That's why the dad lounge exists. A place for dads to get away for a while when you don't have time to get outside and meet people or carry on your normal hobbies. If you've just joined say hello in the chat, introduce yourself and I hope to speak to everyone about their dad wins, challenges and help you out where I can.
