When you're on paternity leave you'll spend a lot of time pushing a pram around the neighbourhood, going to small parks, and gardens. Soon enough you'll find you've got a whole bunch of other parents to talk to, as you try to stop your child from eating all the sand in the sandbox at your local park. Later still when you take your child to pre-school, daycare, or similar, you'll also find more parents to hang around with. Especially if your child/children wants to play with particular kids in the evening/weekend. TLDR; Even if you're a workaholic and all your friends were previously from work, parenting will give you a lot of new friends.
