    When reading the description, I also thought about dads asking for advices from other dads, could it be both? Also, why not include moms with something like parentforaminute?

      Hi thank you for mentioning me. r/dadforaminute is a subreddit I used to regularly contribute on Reddit and was focused on people asking advice from a fatherly figure. Yes, parentforaminute would be broader but I just started dadforaminute as the Reddit equivalent

      It’s an analogue of the same subreddit which was spawned on reddit after “momforaminute” became very popular over there. I used to contribute on the dad one on reddit and I’m just a contributor making folks aware of the one here rather than being a mod or anything.

      Also, I suppose kids come to different parents for different areas of advice and / or differing relationships with their parents. Certainly that’s the case with my own kids.

      I don’t see any reason why not but again I’m not the mod.

      edit: I do recall quite a few of the folks asking for help or advice being ones who had grown up without a dad and they felt a certain loss in that regard so were reaching out from that perspective. Also people whose father had died and they used to go to them for advice in a specific area.

        If it is based on the gender of the parent, it could be a social construct that the Lemmy community may want to challenge.
