Male medspouse roll call

How many of us are regular readers if not regular posters?

There's me (very infrequent poster, occasional reader, new).

There's RocketBoy and william, who are both new (yes?)

And the old guard is...?

checking in (lol)
i was wondering how many males there were on this site

i am a guy poster...

so wheres all the "GUY" topics at?

Wait lemme check..........yep, still a guy....

Staying Sane?

I found this a month late. That is a problem. I am not sure how to keep track of threads that are relevant. Great to get the guys together. This med-school thing is seeming a lot longer than I thought. To be honest I did not know what to think after all the years of prep. We are in the second month and it has finally hit me that this will be a long haul. The smell of formaldehyde and the stress of exams. Maybe we are lucky to get to see DW on the weekends.

Are any of you doing the virtually single parenting thing and how do you stay sane?

my DW in her first yr of residency...

i take care of our daughter for the most part...
outside of her only being 2.8 yrs old its fun, the only thing i dont like is that i cant take her to the gym with me cause she doesnt know how to sit still just yet, and she doesnt like to play with kids outside of fam and those that she sees at daycare...

but when shes 4yrs old she going to the gym to watch daddy play some basketball

Just joined this site tonight. Unfortunately I am posting exactly 2 years from the most recent post in the Mr. MD Forum. Does not bode well for conversation...

Welcome. We do have a handful of guys around - and they're fantastic! Hop over to the introductions forum if you haven't already, and jump right in!

Another guy here - and a stay at home parent. I think our church community has helped the most to keep me somewhat sane. I also work part time from home, which does add to the stress, but provides some extra mental stimulation (and income).

yeah, less that there aren't guys, but we don't really tend to post in this forum much

welcome!

What can we do for the guys to give them their own ... space to post? Should we make this area private? Add something? Obviously, the estrogen around here can be an issue, but 50% or so of med spouses nowadays are guys. Suggestions? Comments?

I personally don't feel like I need a "guys only" space to post, everyone is so welcoming I don't really feel like an outsider just because of my Y-chromosome

[PrincessFiona]

Can I ask why you think it is that the guys aren't more active? We love the xy perspective! LOL It just comes too infrequently.
