Have you ever felt ostracized for being Dad?

I do drop offs to preschool for my daughter. For the first few weeks it definitely felt like teachers were used to most Dad's being in and out for drop-offs/pick ups.

So when I'd ask how my kid's previous days went or upcoming activities those first few days they looked taken aback.

Play dates are mostly moms so figuring out how to socialize with other moms without being a wallflower was a challenge to me.

What's involved in your budgeting method?

At the very basic level, I predict how much money i expect to make in a month. Then subtract all bills and expenses that will definitely occur in the month. The difference is what i have to play with. Most times that extra goes into getting more groceries. Sometimes I can put that extra into my emergency savings which gets drained out more often than i'd like.
