Sorry to break it to you, but when it comes to parenting, there is no such thing as a niche market, its all a niche market. Every kid is different, every situation is different. I know of no "message board for fathers", seems every time I go looking for various advice on the interwebs, its a bunch of mothers talking about different remedies, situations, etc... however, I think you'll find any questions you have, there is usually somebody on redszone that has been thru a similar situation or can offer advice.

Has your wife had your child yet? Its an eerie feeling coming home from the hospital to an empty quiet house and a newborn life to attend to. However, the good news is that for the first couple of months, they don't do much other than sleep, eat and poop. The bad news is that they don't often do it on "your schedule". As your child gets older, there are new challenges, but new fun. They'll test your patience every day, but reward you richly in small moments you never see coming.

Niche market referred to most of what I've found on other message boards. Many, if not all of the new father topics I've found seem to be 20 somethings (or younger) that fell into this via surprise and are slowly warming to the idea. My wife and I waited quite a while for this until we felt the time was right, and then it even took a while after that. I wasn't referring to parenting generally, just what I've found on the interwebs.
