Imma have to go back to school in order to pay for back to school.

If these little people could take a break from growing for a solid 18 months, we could be working with something. Or they can spend the following 18 months growing into the next set of clothes I'm finna buy them. But something gotta give.

Kids can be so simple sometimes.
Took him to get back to school shoes yesterday.
He says:
"whatever we get I don't want laces."
Me:
"why are you attempting to be lazy?"
Him:
"no it's so I can dust them when they have to stop and tie their shoes"

I mean sounds logical to me...lol

Congrats ccastro02 !!!


Was i debate about attending the shower since shorty and I aren’t together but for sure am and going to invite my side of the gang. Gonna be awkward in the beginning but all about putting the child first

 

[stuntman mike]

when my son got his own bed, we got him a nice one from flexa. when we were paying, the lady asked if we wanted to pay like an extra $100 or so for installation/assembly. i cut my wife’s reply off and said nah, no need - i got it.

fast forward to the day the bed came in. mind you we have no power tools. just a crappy “tool kit” from walgreens. i started at around lunchtime and by dinner time i probably had said the f-word about 8 thousand times, my back was in shambles and my hand looked like chris elliot’s in scary movie.

come time to buy a bed for my daughter and at checkout i tell the lady that we will be paying for them to assemble and my wife busts out laughing. when they put my daughter’s bed together the guys went to look at my son’s bed and they were laughing and joking in korean and they tuned it up so it was more sturdy.

there have been many more instances like that. one of the worst aspects of parenting for me

this the damn bed

this toy kitchen is the devil. be warned.

Thanks everyone!
Our story actually made the news!! I knew home births were pretty uncommon, but not crazy rare. Either way a couple media outlets reached out to my wife while we were in the hospital. Here’s a video my family recorded of fox5 coverage. Also some more pics of my daughter! Diva from the moment she was born!

You tied the umbilical cord with a shoelace!? Were they beaters or what you had on?

Lol, they were from my work shoes. It’s what I had on. It’s the 1st thing that came to mind.

That was some MacGyver thinking right there but literally textbook action without you knowing. Your daughter and wife owe you a lot of praise. Many of us would have folded to the pressure.

Maybe try some foam earplugs? Wouldn’t hurt to try. Let her know first.

Oh she definitely knows. I'll look into some earplugs tho

 

[domogotsole]

I meant let her know you plan to get earplugs. I wouldn’t surprise her with it. Depending on your wifey it may create a Larry David moment.

Took my almost 2 year old to the zoo on Saturday, was definitely the most interaction she’s gotten with animals. Watching her say “hiiii” to the giant grizzly bear walking in front of her face with only the glass separating them was pretty great lol

Fathers out there, do your little one go to or call for their mother every chance they get? When it’s just me and my 3 yr old daughter, she’s cool. But the moment she sees her mama, she’s pushes me away and goes to her. Like she views me as random in the house What’s weird is when it’s just her and her mama, she asks for me. But that’s only last for a short period of time before she cries and ask for her mama.

My fiancé is pregnant with baby #2. I want to spell her from our daughter cause she tired at times but my daughter could careless

Yeah my wife was like that while she was pregnant. If she was snoring like that before her pregnancy, she might have sleep apnea?
