my daughter is 6 months and is crawling and can pull herself up
She give little fucks about being told to stop doing anything she wants to do

I have two kids and they make life that much more enjoyable. If I didn't have those two...I'd be a lot more reckless and problematic.

I'm on daddy day care duty at the moment whilst my wife works a weekend shift. Stuck at home with no car. Like what the fuck do you do with a one year old between food and sleep?
I don’t think it’s safe to roughhouse with a one year old. Aren’t their bodies not even fully developed?
I also don’t know shit so I’m probably wrong

My son always gives me a kiss when I ask him. LOL.
At 15 months he still barely sleeps (wakes up every 2 hours), but man is he hilarious in what he does and what he says. He isn't great on his feet yet, but he started talking very early so he's not too hard to understand.

Yeah. Once they're mobile and can support themselves you can have more fun. I remember getting on the ground and my daughter would try and crawl away for me and I would grab her foot and pull her back. She thought it was the funniest shit ever.
Once they start run around you realize children are made of rubber. I’ve seen my son and so many family members fall down and get up like nothing happened when grown folk would be hurting from it
I have a 15-year-old daughter. My wife and I waited 10 years into our marriage to have kids, which now amazes me that we were able to do. Bonus, instead of having to apologize for raising the Millennial Generation poorly, I only have to say I'm sorry for the cell phone generation.
By Hammer24 Go To PostOur son was six weeks early. What got him up to speed, was stopping to breastfeed early (it costs so much energy that he basically got tired before he got his fill), and get good bottles and the best formula available.We are on Neosure preemy formula and haven't looked back so far. My daughter is healthy and growing at an amazing rate.
Now he's two and soon my height, if he keeps growing like that….
I don't think I announced it, but we're having a third kid. I don't know how I'm going to handle having three, but we're excited all the same. It's a boy, so we'll have three boys. Is it time for me to start going Lavar Ball at this point? Daddy wants a comfortable retirement.

Glad to see someone else here whose children are out of diapers.

I tell my son he's going to be a baller all the time.

We waited 10 years. My kids are 13 and 9.
Seeing the in-law talk on the first page, my biggest issue with the in-laws is that they are super judgy, and don't seem to enjoy the kids all that much. They're pretty old at this point, and I think they want the kids to be very deferential and automatically interested in whatever the in-laws want to involve them in (they aren't).

My wife and I were married for about 5 years before we had kids. Maybe 6 by the time we had her. It' was nice looking back at it. Sorta bittersweet in that, now that I have them I wish we could have started sooner, but we weren't ready.

You not alone fam. All these new fathers not ready for the teenage version of themselves. They gon need our help at some point LOL.

I'm not looking forward to a teenage daughter. Not at all. Terrifies me. Gotta protect her form all the hounds.
By Fenderputty Go To PostI'm not looking forward to a teenage daughter. Not at all. Terrifies me. Gotta protect her form all the hounds.probably the most scariest transition I've had to deal with in my life brother. Seeing my son grow up as a new upgraded version of me as cool. Seeing my daughter grow up tho....a female version of me....the phone calls....the texting....hanging out with friends......it's a rough transition for sure but you'll adapt. My daughter and I are closer now then we've ever been.
Also. The simple fact that you are in her life with deter a lot of hounds. You'll still have to mean mug or shoulder bump a few hard headed ones tho.
My daughter is 11. She is becoming more assertive and is using the word independent more often. She hasn't done anything to Warrant me hitting the panic button. She's actually an angel. None of my kids are interested in dating yet.
My 3 year old is very into power rangers and likes to yell "CHECK OUT MY KARATE MOVE" before he dropkicks me or chops me Ric Flair style.
Welp ... dec 8th was the “due date”
Wife went to check up this morning and her blood pressure is way too high. As such ... I will be a new father today. Surgery is at 3pm .... getting hyped.

Yo my wife and 22 year old wilding right now, she feels its unacceptable for a 2 year old to go sleep at 9:30pm as it takes him over an hour and a half to get to sleep (regardless of what time you put him down). But this lil man gives zero f's and will quite happily cry as he knows he can break her patience (after about 2 hours of endless crying). I am not allowed to be inolved in this either lol.
By blackace Go To PostFender congats! You only need 7 more for a baseball team!
I’m stopping short and settling for a brother sister 2 man game of b ball

She knows if we put her down as early as 7 she’s going her ass to sleep regardless of how much she cries.
Like fender said it sets a precedent. Fuck that
My son goes to bed late af lol. But thats because my wife stays at home so I'm like w/e about it right now.
My two year old starts this now as well. Doesn't want to sleep in his bed anymore (it has to be our bed), and needs two hours of reading, singing, talking before he finally falls asleep. I tried to shortcut this routine a couple of times, now it's like "not daddy, mommy comes"!
When he's asleep we carry him to his bed - only for him to come back in the middle of the night on his own.

My son turned two on Thursday, felt like a dad, spent about 3 hours after work putting up this miniture kitchen we bought him on the Wednesday but it was totally worth it just to see the look on his face.
However I'm starting to feel quite guilty about him not having siblings, when I see he's around other kids I can see how much he loves interaction with kids and babies.
Hmmmm.

same.
mine has a ton of fun with his (older) cousins --3 and 8, and babies too. but then again our kids are like long lost bros.
he's probably not getting a sibling tho. cousins gonna have to play that role lol.
My parents had lame siblings so I got none. Spoiled af. It was a good life. More imagination. If you stick with one just be sure to try to get them in activities and friends over more.
That’s why we had #2. I have a brother close in age and so does my wife. We both appreciated it. That and every kid I knew in high school that was a single child was a douche lol
I don't even run into that many single children anymore. All my friends right now got siblings can't think of a single only child huh. Always the odd man out in that respect.
My child is still in the 2-3 hour range of sleeping. I'm back to work. I'm a zombie. On the plus side, recovery time postpartum should be done end of week and Daddy is gonna get some lovin' this weekend.
So my chirping daughter who repeats everything just echoed daddy’s use of “fuck”
I’m officially worst parent

not a parent but after the last 5 days of playing one i respect the hell out of anyone with more than 1 kid.
if 1 kid isn't crying then the other one is trying to fuck up the toaster by putting a whole shredded cheese sandwich in it because thats how he thinks a grilled cheese is made
if i ever have kids im going for 1 & Done

Yes this is what I started saying internally after she said it verbally. She just repeats stuff though. She only reuses words if she understands context so far. I've been so good too.

The biggest challenge so far (I'm sure this will change) is having my daughter adapt to not being the only thing in the world that matters to Mommy.
By blackace Go To Postmy daughter just had her first cold… Mommy was beside herself
Fever?
By Fenderputty Go To PostFever?a little one... she good now

My wife was losing her shit at 103.5. Sickness is stressful
Man, children are incredible sponges. So my son is with a childminder and two of the three days she has an older child after a school, anyway I've got him this week as wife is at work and minder is on holiday.
So we're fucking around in the shops and we start climbing some stairs counting. He was two a few weeks ago, we get to 10 and I stop but he carrys on, I'm slightly impressed but always cautious to not get carried away with these things. Gets to 20, carrys on again now I'm think yoooo... Phone the wife who was busy then the childminder and she is totally unaware and I get him to do it again.
Turns out he's been sitting there listen to her teach this older kid the past few months and turns out it's pretty incredible what he's picked up. He can spell (through repetition) knows some highly unusual words for his age etc.
Been a pretty awesome week.

Kid logic is amazing like I get it. Jordan has grasped the concept of time yet so doesn't understand we have to wait for TV shows to come on. Gets so heated when I don't put it in pepper or paw patrol as he thinks I'm doing it out of spite
