    Daughter got her first infection and the entire family (in laws are our daycare provider, I was at work, wife is training in Chicago) freaked out today. Turns out she has a UTI. I'm dreading tonight and the next few nights that she won't sleep. Anyone have to deal with this before or am I a bad parent?

    (At least I know I'm not the worst parent. Driving back to work from the urgent care facility I saw an older woman with smoking an E cig blowing. Huge pull and blow. Then I saw her 2 kids in the back seat.)

    My wife went out of town for work on Wednesday. That night my son woke up a couple times in the middle of the night and his breathing seemed a little weird so I set up a dr. appt right away on Thursday morning. They checked him out and gave him a nebulizer to open the airway. The doctor wasn't satisfied so they did a second nebulizer. The doctor came back after the second one told me, "I need you to take him the ER at Children's Hospital immediately. I don't care if you think you forgot something or need something from home, go there immediately with no stops along the way." It scared the ever living shit out of me. I was probably going 75-80 mph weaving through traffic while screaming my son's name whenever I saw him close his eyes so I could see if he was just falling asleep or no longer breathing.

    They gave him 3 more nebulizer treatments, chest x-rays, and we sat around for a long time. Fortunately he checked out ok. They called it Reactive Airway Disease which is his body reacting to a virus by tightening the airway. It is asthma-like symptoms but apparently a lot more kids under 2 or 3 have this but never develop asthma and since we don't have asthma in either of our families he is most likely to outgrow it. What an exhausting day though.

    A few years ago my 16 year old cousin had cancer. At the time I felt sympathy for my aunt. I feel so much worse for her now that I have a son and have a better understanding of the parent/son relationship than when I had just been on one side of that.

    I almost took my 3 year old to the ER tonight because he randomly pointed to the left side of his stomach and told me it hurt. Then i realized the appendix is on the right side, and he'd just banged himself on a cupboard handle. I'm the voice of reason between me and my wife, but she doesn't know everything freaks me out, too.

    I walk in the door after work today and my wife says, "Do you want a beer or some bourbon? You should probably go for both because I'm pregnant." She's been off birth control since June 1st. This is the second time it's essentially happened immediately. Yay for easy conception but fuck fuck fuck fuck.

    We were trying, so It's good news. We had the boy on the first try, got pregnant on the first try and lost it at 6 weeks the second time, and have been trying again for a few months. I'm mainly glad I don't have to have procreation sex next month.

    Took my daughter to Finding Dory today, which was her first time going to a movie. She's 2 and a half and as we are sitting there she looks at me and shouts at the top of her lungs. "Dad, that's a HUUUUUUGGGGGGEEEEEE TV" making a big wide move with her arms. The guys sitting behind me and the lady sitting next to us just lost it when she said it. I lol'd. Pretty cute movie and I liked it better than Finding Nemo.

    My son has this. It comes up every couple months and is awful. We almost took him to the ER at 11:30 pm a week ago. He's had it for a couple years and it's such a bitch. Hope he outgrows it by Kindergarten.

    Woke up early, went with wife to get bagels. Came home to a few new pairs of shorts to fit my increasingly fat ass. Having a late Father's Day lunch with my parents and brother, who has a newborn. Heading to the airport to pick up my oldest daughter flying home from college for the summer and then we're all going out for a steak. Awesome day!

    When life gave this kid lemons, his dad knew exactly what to do.

    Gabriel Marshall from Kansas was diagnosed with a brain tumor back in March 2015. The youngster had a successful surgery, but it left him with a massive scar.

    Enter Josh. He gets the “best dad ever” award for getting a tattoo of his son’s scar on his head.

    He posted on Facebook that he couldn’t believe how the picture had blown up and gone viral.

    Josh added,

    I would like to thank everyone for helping make this happen it’s an honor to be titled 2016’s#BestBaldDad but the truth is I’m no better then any of the other contestants we are all great father’s that would go to any extent to help our children so in my eyes we’re all winners!

    Hope you all have a great week and a happy father’s day to all you men making a difference in your children’s lives!
    See? He’s humble, too.

    The world needs more humans like Josh Marshall.

    We have most of the same crowd in this thread as the homeowner's thread but I'm going to cross-post over there as well...

    I finished the touch ups on the stripes for the accent wall in my new baby's room. Wife wanted me to put together the crib...no problem. Pull out all the supplied pieces and notice two of them are labeled "L". Get to the instructions and notice I'm supposed to use "K" at some point but none was labeled as K. I didn't want to be that person that automatically assumes the instructions are incorrect but 2 hours later I finally realized they were. What a pain in the ass.

    Its all very obvious now but at the time I was so confused. Final product:

    Sweet and hilarious at the same time. Father and daughter both have Tourette's syndrome. He has it worse than her, but they are on the same cycle, meaning that when he has a bad day, she has one, too.

    This is how they deal with it. :ohgosh:

    You ain't kidding.

    We had two firsts this week. On Saturday he got his first battle wound when he fell and got some major carpet burn on his nose at the hotel.

    :feelsbadman:

    On Sunday at my parents he took his first steps by himself.

    I would imagine everybody in this thread that has a kid older than 4 months.

    That sounds terrible. I think ours was only a couple weeks to a month. Maybe I'm just sugar coating it though.
