I am a working mom of two young boys. My husband is a homedad for almost half a year, and now he is thinking of doing something on the side. We both have experienced the "frustrations" and "loneliness" of being a full-time parent, wanted to meet with people but not having much mobility because the kids are small. We always want to find a nice and cozy place where parents can meet and enjoy some drinks and snacks, while the kids can play and make new friends at the same time in a safe and clean environment. The ideal place could be someone's home, but not everyone like to have people going to their places all the time. There are different kinds of "classes" available in the market, but sometimes we just want to go to a relaxing environment with our kids, not attending some 1-hour class all the time..... so, we have come up with an idea of creating a kids club where the kids can really play, with a coffee and lounge seating area for the parents to wind down and have a nice chit chat together. We are doing the initial planning now, and would appreciate if anyone of you could tell us what you think about the location, facilities and things that should be included in this piece of paradise for the kids and parents.
