Welcome back to our second conversation with soon to be parents in Lamond-Riggs. As you may recall, our Soon-to-Be Moms shared some thoughts they had about pending motherhood in our last episode. Well, now it’s the soon-to-be dads turn to dish.
With their partners waiting patiently in a soundproof booth, Alex Bruce and Eric Grauvilardell shared their unfiltered thoughts on fatherhood and expectations for the future. Let’s see how the soon-to-be dads’ answers match up with the soon-to-be moms. Please join me and congratulating the parents-to-be! We look forward to meeting their new additions soon!

Background on Next Stop Neighbors:
Welcome to Next Stop Neighbors where we get an opportunity to hear the voices behind the faces and places in Lamond-Riggs and the surrounding communities. Through this podcast series, you will meet some friendly neighbors and hear their perspectives on the community through civil, casual conversations. From the small business owner who just opened up, to the non-profit organization trying to make a difference, to the community leader describing their vision for the neighborhood, and the resident around the corner who has lived here for 50 years, we all have a story to tell. We welcome recommendations and, better yet, your own 10-minute interviews too!

Thank you for this! As a soon-to-be dad in Riggs Park, I’m looking for more resources in our neighborhood, such as groups, places to find child care or nanny-share, or just friends to share this experience with. Are there any good resources/websites/etc. that you or these dads might know about?
Didn’t get any replies to my original comment, but in case anyone in the future is wondering the same, the Fort Totten Tots is a pretty solid Facebook group for local parents!
