PSA: If you see a dad at the park, don't be afraid to talk to them. We are lonely.

As a stay-at-home dad, I’m often the only man in the room when I take my son to play spaces. I watch as the moms around me easily strike up conversations with each other — while I sit quietly, feeling invisible. It’s a lonely kind of life, especially since staying home also limits my social interactions.Yesterday, my wife had the day off and came with us. Instantly, the same moms who usually avoid me started chatting with her like old friends. It hit me harder than I expected. Dads love our kids just as fiercely. We crave community too.Next time you see a dad sitting alone, give us a chance. A simple hello could mean more than you know.Have you ever felt out of place in a community space? I'd love to hear your experience! #StayAtHomeDad #DadLife #BuildingCommunity #ParentingJourney #Parenting
