As a mother, it is normal for you to want a good relationship with your tweenage/teenage daughter. While you may want her to come to you with her problems and go shopping with her on the weekend, she may not feel the same way. Instead of spending time with you, she might prefer being with her friends. Let's support each other in strengthening our relationships with our daughter(s) by attending 1 or 2 monthly outings. This will give us a chance to meet new people, create friendships, and while at …

We created this group for the simple fact: Men need other men to support each other as Fathers.

Often there are issues with dating and other ladies being around, and the stress of parenthood on a new relationship can be too much. We want to be men, helping men to be awesome fathers and better mates the next time around. And most important …

We've all been there..We've all gone through it...and we all know dating in this area can be as frustrating as figuring out how many times you have to go around the Beltway to find the exit to Connecticut Avenue! We all have friends and family to talk too- but sometimes they don't really understand how difficult it is to meet your future soul mate online. Our mothers fear the fact we put ourselves out there, our fathers for don't understand why we do it- and if you are like me, most of your frie …
