I've been telling my daughters from the beginning that they have vulvas, and so does Mama, and poor Daddy he doesn't have a vulva. Eat poo poo, Freud!

kid's been slowly getting used to going down in her own crib for naps, but it has been an uphill battle to get her to sleep without being held. Glad she finally seems to be getting the hang of it she rolls around like a maniac (until she's on her stomach and suddenly can't remember what to do) and I think she is just dying to be crawling, can't wait to be chasing her around and teaching her how to Not Die I will never know sleep again and I'm fully aware this was part of the deal lol

One day you'll wake up in the morning after getting in a solid six hours and wonder what the gently caress is going on.

Having a kid was a perfect excuse to rewatch my favorite old shows. Batman the animated series, power rangers, X-Men animated series. Also I am desperately trying to teach him how to play games with me (have your guy follow mine). It's a blast. Might have leaned a little hard into superhero stuff, but the good news is there is no shortage of media for a superhero loving 3 year old these days. We just had a second kid a week and a half ago so starting all over and that kinda... Sucks. Forgot just how much work this is for the first year and a half/two years. After that it is so much more fun imo.

The new kid had her first doctor visit and we got cleared to not have to wake her up every 3 hours for feeding and that night she slept for 8 hours straight. I don't expect that to ever happen again, but lord it was a treat.

My kid was almost the same way (just two nights of false starts at first, then 3 days of regression in the 7 months since) so may you be equally blessed, and if so don't tell your friends because they will despise you

I dunno, characters didn't have motivations in the 80s, he's just a professional rear end in a top hat.

You think getting a kid to sleep through the night feels good, I let my older kid babysit the younger one for the first time last weekend while mom and I went to the neighbors for outdoor drinks. We are going to ease into this nice and slow but by the fall we're going to be taking advantage of the built-in babysitter once a week.

this morning I was at the playground with my kid and I saw a guy jovially loading up his truck with all sorts of camping gear and stuff as three teenagers played around and did nothing to help him. then I kinda notice he was in shorts and flip flops. and then I saw him give his wife a hug, the teens piled into the car, and he was set free. he looked so happy.

My high school age children legitimately like listening to the same music I listened to in high school (Marilyn Manson, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, etc) and it's kinda freaking me out. Like, I thought newer music being poo poo was just my old brain not adapting to the cool new stuff. My middle school kids like 70's rock and that's perfectly fine and normal though.

I'm boning up on the history of music and influences so when he gets into bad music I can thoughtfully explain the roots so he gets into good music accidentally. Literally all bad music has good roots that lasted the test of time.

I'm blessed with a kid who immediately runs and grabs our shirts to wipe her mocos away, but the flip side is that if she gets even a drop of water on her shirt she disrobes.

I would love to wipe my face with this. Instead, the second she sees it coming, she wipes her nose all over my shirt and misses most of the boogers while still getting it on my shirt

well, the grub honeymoon is over. baby girl can roll over, so she isn’t guaranteed to stay exactly where we put her and we started giving her solids, so the sweet beautiful buttered popcorn smelling poops are slowly becoming progressively stinkier.

It sucks that so many books about being a dad and giving advice is done through that irritating lens of "HEH you're a MANLY man, also treat your wife like a QUEEN by doing (list of things you should have already been doing around the house because you're not a fuckin manchild) The chapters in what to expect about your wife's actual health and potential issues was also woefully inadequate, but given that there's so many gaps and blind spots in understanding pregnancy, I guess it's not too surprising
