Going to be a father
- Thread starter danke
- Start date
Other peoples kids are hard. When they are your own, it doesn't even matter. No other feeling like it in the world. You can never know what it's like until you have your own.
Congrats Danke
Congratulations.
A word of warning - babies are really overrated. Once the novelty wears off (about 3 days), you're left with a crying shitting thing that destroys your sleep and needs feeding all the time for very little return. If she's breastfeeding, your missus will be in a constant bad mood because her tits are sore and she doesn't get any sleep. If she's bottle feeding, you'll both be in a bad mood because you're sharing the lack of sleep.
The only thing that babies have going for them is that if you keep them alive for a few months, they become toddlers. Who, contrary to the bad PR they get are the most amazing creatures on the entire planet. If you're patient enough to get into their world, toddlers + small children are awesome beyond words.
So yeah, when you're about 8 weeks in after the birth wondering what the hell you've got yourself into, remember that it won't last long and soon you'll have a constant source of hilarity in your life
Oh, and don't buy any baby related crap. Save your money. The only things that need to be new are mattresses and car seats. Anything else, get second hand, it's not like the baby will know now, is it?

But aren't nephews like pretty close? I mean, their grandparents are my parents. And one of them kinda looks like me. Earlier he threw some plastic toy at my face and then told me he wanted a popsicle.
Congrats brother. First round of links on me.*

Dude right on about you losing your virginity.
If the baby comes out and he's black we won't laugh at WF ok?
Seriously my first child just turned 1.
Dude, seriously be your fiances' slave and do whatever she needs, I cant imagine the shit they go thru for 9 months, pretty pathetic that we just get to fuck them and they gotta go thru it for 9 mos. (that is probably why she is more scared than you).
I just pampered my woman as much as I could.
Also, start getting your empire built, residual income, get all your fucking ducks in a row now, the clock is ticking until he/she walks...
then you have no more time.
Build something that lasts and makes you money now.
Congrats.

Definitely get your bucket list started and go do a bunch of crazy shit to get it out now. Once you have a kid your gonna be locked down FOREVER.

And a bonus... her boobs totally got bigger.
Inb4 their too sore to touch, annoying as hell. Seriously though congrats. Becoming a father was the best thing to happen to me.
I can totally see why you're less scared than she is. Considering you won't go through a total body transformation over the next 9 months and wont have to actually give birth, I'd say that you being less scared is pretty understandable. Congratulations and good luck.
I heartily commend you for fulfilling your biological purpose. May your DNA live on, as it travels throughout the aeons — into the stars.
While I am waiting for her to doing the morning sicknes thing I will share my first awkward pregnancy moment. So we buy a pregnancy exam on Sunday together and the cashier who sees me often looked at me and said "happy father's day" and started trying to hold in her uncontrollable laughter.
Biggest fml moment of the year.

Kudos, danke!
The downside of this is that we're never going to see your Magnum Opus, it's going to be passed on from generation to generation and become a family secret.
