Wait a minute... In the meanwhile, while she isn't pregnant yet and doesn't have a kid at home, she doesn't want to work?
The kid is currently at home. She wants to send him to preschool in the fall, preferably already a month or two pregnant so she can lay around doing nothing all day while pregnant.
Order of sports I want daughter to play: 1. Volleyball (only halfway enjoyable hs girls sport to watch) 2. Golf 3. Soccer 4. Basketball 5. Hockey (yes girls' soccer is a thing in MN)
Eating breakfast this morning with my 3 yr old and watching sportscenter when Bruce Jenner stuff came on: Me "I don't want to watch this fucking shit" 3 yr old "what you say?" Me "nothing bud" Him "you said fuck" Wife "nice"
While I won't say I'm the better parent, I will say I'm a more effective parent, a more efficient parent, and a more adaptive parent. My little dude is only 14 weeks so there's not a lot of parenting, but staying home with him over the last few weeks has proven to me that this is, indeed, not the hardest job in the world.
My 2 year old heard me say "what the fuck" a million times during football season, and he started saying that randomly. Luckily, he forgets about it because he loves hot wheels, angry birds, Blaze monster machines, disney cars, and star wars. Currently deciding on what his room should be now that boy #2 is coming in June. Since he always says cars one day and star wars the next, I am thinking one theme per wall, but not sure the wife would go for that.
So boy #1 is due May 15, but wife is already dilated to 3cm, 80% effaced and lost her mucus plug... Safe to say we're not making it to May 15? I'm basically ready for it anytime now, she's not, not at all.
Had to get my hair dyed and cut to match an actor that I'm doubling. My son (13 months) doesn't want anything to do with me. I didn't think that it would bother me much, but it kind of does.
I don't know why I do this to myself, but this morning I was looking at stuff about Sandy Hook, will never forget that day and always makes me want to run home and hug Half-Knight
Wife is mad at me because our 2 year old doesn't want to sleep in her bed and will typically only accept my 9.5 month pregnant wife putting her back to sleep. She gets mad that I don't wake up fast enough to stop her from running in our room and then gets more mad that me trying to help the 2 year old makes her (the 2 year old) more upset and wakes her up more.
no reasoning with a pregnant woman, especially one that pregnant. T's & P's, life will improve once you get that thing out of her.
I find out the gender of my first tomorrow. For some reason I get nervous before every one of these damn appointments, this one especially because its the anatomy scan and whatnot. So what I'm sayin is, tell me its gonna be ok. K thanks
We went weekly in the beginning because we did IVF and it was always a little nerve racking. Everything turned out fine.
Yeah I'm sure everything is fine. I'm good up and until we get ready to go to the appt. My wife is in emergency preparedness and has a background in pre-med, so she researches and reads everything (as most new moms do), but I had to tell her straight up that I didn't want to know every damn thing that can go wrong with the pregnancy. I'd like to be prepared for when the little guy/girl gets here, but don't need to be worried all the time
Oh how did I ever miss this thread. Have 3 girls ages 4, 2 and 8 months. We just had a princess birthday party for the older 2 which I was dreading, but everything worked out just fine which was a pleasant surprise. I think the worst part of it was the wife telling the 4 year old about the party a month out and being asked nonstop about the damn thing.
Do any of you dads have an access cab truck? I'm looking for car seat recommendations, the 2nd car seat that is rear facing but can turn forward facing. My wife got one that she really likes, but its to deep to feet in the access cab without the front 2 seats hugging the dash. I quickly looked around Toys R Us and they all seemed to be pretty deep...So anyone have recommendations or will I be in the market for a new truck soon? (Will be anyway within a year or so)
My 3 year old is obsessed with all things superhero. Unfortunately this includes Lego marvel superheroes on the XBONE I was able to sell it as improving his hand eye coordination but he doesn't want to do anything without playing the game. Had to delete it today and am looking forward to the meltdown tonight
Some days I regret introducing little man to video games, as that is all he wants do... Sunday was not one of those days, as we played Dead or Alive against each other for the first time. Had so much fun, one of my favorite things to do when I was a kid was play sports games against my dad, so this was a great flashback.
Yeah he loves sports and swimming and all sorts of outside stuff but it was getting to the point he didn't want to eat without it and the wife freaked out
My son is the same way. He loves Lego movie the game. I won't buy him the super heroes bc I know that is all he will want to do. We just shut it off and take him outside and after a minute he forgets about the game until later.
Mine is currently playing LEGO Star Wars 3 non stop, he has progressed from LEGO Batman 1, to Indiana Jones, to the first Star Wars, to the LEGO Movie Video Game, then to the current one. Surprisingly, Marvel Super Heroes and Harry Potter never stuck. Of course, i want to play both of those, but I still have so many others to catch up on.
My favorite was playing Tetris against my dad. We wouldn't play against eachother head to head as much as we'd play until we got the high score and then the other one would play until he broke that high score. I also played Dr. Mario against my Grandma (his mom). She couldn't remember which suit was trump in bridge but she could whip your ass in Dr. Mario.
Lego Star Wars (The Complete Saga, is that 3?) is all the boys play in my house. It sucks because I've spent a lot more $ on those Disney Inifinity characters and I should've just bought the one game from the start.
Complete Saga is the best one out there, but its not 3. 3 is actually the coolest one out there, its based mostly on The Clone Wars TV show, and it introduces some really awesome gameplay mechanics and new weapons (can pilot three or four different AT tanks, laser tanks, cannons, etc). http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=lego+star+wars+3+
Got in my car this am and 90s on 9 came on and it was a slow Britney song. "Daddy I don't like this song." Switched to Faction and Slipknot was on "I like this one" I was so proud
My five year old probably has reminded me 20 times in the last three days that they new Avengers movie comes out this weekend.
I'm not allowed to take him so I haven't told him or it'd be the same. He really wants to see Jurassic World at the stadium (what he calls the movie theater) but that won't happen either
After a stomach virus last week and a shitty sleep schedule the little munchkin is back to sleeping through the night- and thank jebus.
Three is tough for a movie. We have two older kids, so mine tagged along to a couple of movies at three, but it was usually a disaster.
We've done 1. Big hero 6 and he was great. The biggest problem was he wanted to watch it again and he thought we could just hit a button
Took the 5-year old boy to his first T-ball game. Was the only kid that could field a grounder cleanly and when he hit the ball he just ran all of the bases and would yell, HOMERUN. Second time up, he even flipped the bat after his hit. No idea where he learned that from but whatever.
Gave the like because he wanted Britney off, cool with that but friends don't let friends listen to slipknot......... they are just awful
My wife is in SF for work yesterday and today so last night was my first overnight alone with our son (6 months next week). He slept through the night for the first time in more than a month.
Peeing in the potty is coming along pretty well. We've had a handful of days where he kept the same clean, dry diaper on all day. He even tells us sometimes that he's got to go.
