05GT Guru Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I am so not ready for this shit. It's not hard. Especially new born. Just remember, if you are getting frustrated and can't get the baby to calm down it is ok to put the kid down even if they are still crying and calm yourself. Then go back to it.

Rhitter Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 It's not hard. Especially new born. Just remember, if you are getting frustrated and can't get the baby to calm down it is ok to put the kid down even if they are still crying and calm yourself. Then go back to it. IMO great advice. I have never been a stay at home dad. But I have spent entire weekends and days without her. Not saying it's always easy but "I don't want to clean" isn't a valid reason imo. Just like saying I don't want to work is a valid reason for not working. I'm not saying I refuse to help, but if you are a stay at home parent I don't think it is unreasonable to handle a majority of the domestic chores. Wasn't trying to play marriage counselor. Just was curious. My wife's mom has three little kids (10, 6, and 2) and still keeps her house clean. The two year old is the loudest most demanding kid I have ever seen too. If she had three like that, might not be able to clean the house. NO! DO NOT EMBRACE THE SHIT. IT GETS EVERYWHERE:eek: Within the first day or so, my son decided to poop while on the changing table. It was like a fountain of shit coming out of him. I had to use my hand to block the fountain to keep it on the changing table and not spread all over the ******* place. Saving grace, after the green tar poop goes away, the yellow breast milk poop isn't that gross. Dog poop (which I have also been covered in) is much much grosser. Little boys pee all the time though, so be prepared for that. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Haha, this is one hell of a bump, after 10 years. I've been employed with the government for the last 6 yrs and now I'm starting to interview with outside banks. Government has been good, but it's time to move on and up. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdmayne Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Wait till they hit puberty then the $hit really flies. Good Luck to you all. I have my daughter who is almost 2. She is a handful on her own. My other half has a 13 year old daughter (I'm working towards adopting her) who is pre hormonal and a ticking time bomb. Plus mom is 7 months pregnant, and bipolar. Hormones are no joke. I envy everybody who has invested in good craft breweries on the West Coast, I might be keeping them all in business.

twisty Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 i stayed home with kids for the first 4 years, was a great time. i also went to night/ online school when the wife wasnt at work and got a degree. the time spent with the kids was worth any hardships i had to deal with. also, daycare costs for 3 kids when you dont qualify for any assistance is no joke, my house and truck payments together were less than they wanted for daycare, and that was 19 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I was working in real estate when the house market fell, my wife at the time was a nurse making good money. It was a no brainer for me to stay home while she makes the dough.

That's a major plus if you have family members willing to help out, the first several years are tough until they enter Kindergartener. My wife's balls are delicious.

05GT Guru Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 My wife's mother used to be a great baby sitter when we had out first child. Until we found out she had relapsed after 10 years of being clean and has been struggling to stay clean since. My mom and dad help out when they can. But the both travel, work and go out a lot.
