The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
So my wife and I recently had a baby, and she's a pretty sweet baby. Pictures prove this:
But man, being a parent is not easy. Between the constantly interrupted sleep, crying for reasons that you can't figure out, and more regular interactions with feces than you were ever expecting, it's a tough job. And that's just for an infant, I can't imagine yet having a teenager. I'm pretty much hoping that getting more sleep will make up for her sure-to-be-smart-ass mouth.
I know some other people in here have kids or will have kids soon. We should talk about having kids.
I know it man, she's already cost me my wife's sanity and my sex life and all of my vacation time and my desire to change out of my pajamas. She's worth it a ton but I dread when she gets old enough to actively start manipulating me, by all accounts fathers are putty in their little girls' hands.

she is manipulating you right now and you don't even know it!
Being a parent just destroys any free time or hobbies or any interests apart from surviving.
Well, that's not entirely true. My wife and I decided we have time for one extracurricular pursuit each outside of normal things like working, cooking, house maintenance etc.

If you ever figure it out, let me know. I'm 6 years into this parent thing and I'm still winging it most of the time.

How old is she? It never gets to be any less work, just different and definitely more rewarding.
They may start sleeping through the night but then you gotta start feeding them solids and then their diapers go form annoying and messy to stinky, open the windows and turn on the fan and still messy.
And then you potty train them but then they are so smart and active by that time that you have to turn your living room into a hardened military installation to keep them from destroying it.
So it's just a constant stream of struggles that just serve to make the incredible moments even more awesome. Like having your oldest tell the story of Peter Rabbit from memory to her younger brother or watching as your twin girls deftly scramble eggs on their own or having them come up and give you a strangling bear hug just because they are so excited to see you when you get home from work.

She's just 3 months and the ways that she's changed just in that time are pretty amazing. The switch to her being able to focus on me and smile on purpose was pretty aces, there's really no feeling like seeing your baby smile at you.
I like the infant stuff but I'm definitely looking forward to her being a little bit older and getting to teach her things like proper sports loyalties and how to talk back to grown-ups but in an adorable way.
a friend of a friend just had a baby boy. she was telling my friend she was flipping through a calendar and got to november and was thinking about thanksgiving plans and realized "oh, he'll still be here then!" it's hard for me to conceptualize the basically "forever" aspect of having a kid, so I am glad that actual parents have this problem too.
I have a 6 year old boy - Lucas Henry - and it definitely gets more rewarding when they get past the "small lump that eats and poop" phase. Last night we played Castle Crashers and TMNT Reshelled with him and my nephew and it really sank in that I didn't just create life - I made a built-in partner for multiplayer games. Also, he occasionally levels up my Pokemon for me which is nice.

Like, an animal that you really, really love, but the parenting hasn't come into play yet.
The first two were twins so that kind of jump started us.
I'll post pictures if I can find any on my phone or work computer.
I take care of other people's kids because they're too high to deal with them. These kids are a handful I'll tell ya.
Good luck with your's!
Telling those people to fuck off and take care of their own fucking children and maybe not be useless sacks of shit?

As for a father? Yeeeaaaa...I don't know about that.

How did you decide on the middle name, and why didn't you capitalize it?
His middle name is my first name.
So sneaky. So...so sneaky.

Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
Is it all?
I bet it's all.
ok in my head it is switched to he is named after that.
edit: for real though we almost named him James Gordon
and he would always dress up like a policeman for halloween and when he was older he would move on to a trench coat
