There is a time, like a year away.
Where you really like to hear your kid babbling and you cant wait till they can talk.


Yeah, gently caress....... enjoy that, cause it pretty quickly turns into you wishing they would just shut the gently caress up.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Tell your kids that a child-eating monster lives in their closet. If you don't have a closet, no problem, say it lives under their bed.

One night, say "I'm tired of living in fear like this!" and pretend to kill the monster with your bare hands. Your kids will idolize you. But the next time they act up, just say "Oh no, I just got a letter in the mail that the monster's brother is coming! He's too strong for me to fight!"

My dad put a poster of Hulk Hogan on the closet door and said that Hulk will make sure no monsters go in my room. He did the same thing with my little brother except it was a poster of Stone Cold. It worked.

Make sure your kids enjoy the same things you do. If you have nostalgia for the SNES then guess what? Little Timmy's gonna love it, too. If he doesn't? Just keep forcing it on him. It'll eventually stick and he definitely won't choke you to death with an SNES controller one day.

don’t take too many photos, it’s a pain to sort through them all and you’ll never do it

one or two per year should be enough to remind you what your child looks like

In this vein, be sure to print out your pictures and store them in an album or on the wall or something so that you don't need to rely on cloud storage to see your pictures 20 years later. This applies to parents and non-parents.

A good parent will apply weights to all the limbs of their child from the age of 2 so that they become strong as they get older. If your child can't handle 25kg weights on their arms by the age of 7, you're not training them hard enough.

Your hormones will make you more tuned to their cries than you realize. You really can sleep when they sleep you'll wake up when they start making noise.

Only buy like, 5 outfits/toys for them, you'll probably get overwhelmed by hand-me-downs from other parents desperate to get rid of poo poo.

Train yourself to stop swearing before they start talking. Cutting back on saying gently caress all the time was surprisingly difficult. And while hearing my one year old daughter call one of her toys “this stupid loving thing” in my own cadence was hilarious, it could lead to embarrassment down the road.
