I was wondering if there are any social groups or outings that a youngish dad (31)and his two boys (a 3 1/2 yo and 2 month old) would be welcome at ? I love my boys to death, but being the only adult male home on our block between 7 am and 6 pm can get lonely! Any advice is welcome! Matt S. |

the newcomers club has lots of options...for us working folks it's almost criminal how many great social activities they have for the young ones and their caretakers... PS - my husband is also a stay at home dad, youngish...our daughter is 14 months old and loves the park - private line us if you want to have an informal play date some time! Liz and Nick |

I presume you have a car or are near a park. There's the bagel shop in town, the library, the play parks. I met a young father with a little girl and a baby today at Maplewood Park, also an at-home father. He said that once a week he drives to a different town and visits their play parks. He said he and his daughter have enjoyed that a lot. It's been a hard summer--so wet. I'm very much a senior and when I feel house crazy I go to the places I mentioned. |

Do you have a dog? If so, take the dog and kids to the Dog Run in Echo Lake Park at the Westfield/Mountainside border. All sorts of people are there during the day, including stay-at-home dads. Take Springfield Ave towards Union (it will turn into Meisel Ave after Morris Ave). Cross over Route 22. Then, after a few short lights, look for Echo Lake Park on your right. The dog run is about 1/4 mile into the park, on the right side, up on a small hill. Marc www.millburnweb.com
