Kenny Logins posted:congrats dad thanks, I have no idea what I'm doing and actually can't do the most important bit (feeding) but I can do chores and post about it on the Internet which my dad couldnt, idk how anyone did anything without the baby equivalent of stack overflow at hand for questions like "baby is showing signs of buffer overflow is this normal?" actually wait I do you'd have a grandparent come help which is currently banned due to covid

we're in the same boat as Kenny. grandparents on ms jones's side can't help, and the grandparents on my side live on the other side of the country. raising a kid with basically no help ain't the easiest thing in the world, but it's doable. pisses me right off when ms jones's sister complains about how her husband's family "never helps" despite them watching my niece/her daughter multiple times a month and taking her on weeks-long vacations every summer, though.

yeah. grandparents reap what they sow. it’s a two way street of course. my kids see my parents most days of the week, usually for a few hours at a time. they’re going to have such a lovely view of my mother and hopefully a lot of her kindness washes off on them. but my dad who i’ve moaned about enough in this thread just does nothing to foster a relationship or to even get to know the kids. to show them anything interesting at all. his loss. plus my kids aren’t ignorant to it. they’ll remember quite clearly how he was

i just remembered that when i was a kid, we did 'oratoricals,' in which we dressed up like historical figures and gave a little speech about why we were a cool historical figure. this would've been 4th or 5th grade my mom made me a badass union army outfit, slapped a beard on me, and i got to talk about destroying the south to preserve the union and end slavery as william tecumseh sherman. i didn't realize what a statement that was given where i grew up (the confluence of the south and midwest), but dang my mom's a cool lady. she also just packaged up and sent me the fancy multimeter she used before she retired. very lightly used, actually, bc she just kept using her old one after she got it. this is also the momthread is what i'm saying

a few weeks ago, i suggested that my dad and I play a wargame. he appears to be getting comfortable with the idea; he just set up a game and showed it to me, but did not mention actually playing it with me. it looks pretty cool. its set in january 1945 - one player controls the red army, and the other controls the western allies as they race to conquer germany. what's cool is that the soviet player also controls the western german armies, while the allied player controls the okw forces on the eastern front, giving each player the opportunity to slow the other down.

welp, grandparents are inbound because my wife hasn't slept in like 72 hours and messaged them to ask for help and I'll swallow what little misguided pride I had about trying to do everything myself despite not have the equipment to solve the "needs feeding while you want to sleep" problem. I think I'll just be glad of the company as much as the help tbh because this corona poo poo means that actual face to face contact is so rare.

dad chat back on topic: My dad used to make his own rockets as a child using calcium carbide (which I guess you could just buy from the local chemist back then) and I think tried to encourage me to do the same sort of thing but didn't realise that chemistry sets in the 90s actually had vague safety standards so you basically couldn't do gently caress all with them. I think he was a bit disappointed tbh. All I managed to do was dye the carpet blue. Edit: he also sent me a very nice Cuban cigar as a "congrats on being a dad" gift but it has massive "this will kill you and harm your child" warnings on it which is a bit of a downer on the idea Powerful Two-Hander fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Nov 15, 2020 |

Powerful Two-Hander posted:thanks, the vote of confidence is appreciated. it's hilarious how poorly prepared you actually are for this when it happens countless billions have done it before you with much worse resources. your natural intuition to keep your child safe will go very far. honestly babies are hard work, but they’re easy. I’m not trying to underplay how hard it is on you especially sleep wise, but as long as the baby is fed, you’re doing a good job. you got this. simple advice: talk to your child when you’re changing them (or doing anything “to” them) as in “im taking off your nappy now” or whatever. like you might expect a nurse to do with a patient. it sets a level of respect and i’ll bode well forever.
