With a 2 year old, it is both hard to be reliable and hard to be spontaneous. The purpose of this group is for any member to suggest a meetup, basically a playdate, and hopefully you will attract other members with same age kids in your area. Lifelong friends are great. School is a few years away. Lots of play and lots of fun is the idea. Anyone with at least 1 2009 born child should join. Everyone needs to post playdate suggestions as often as possible, to make this maximum fun.

Not a gay group - just dudes looking to get out a bit more, and do more than drink & watch sports. Married or not, kids or not - you just need some male bonding. Also - gay dudes welcome - it's just not a dating group. I've always wanted a poker group, but don't play poker. A drum circle without the …
