Ladies and gentlemen, I have accidentally impregnated my wife with a baby! He’s due in the middle of February.
Have you ever done such a thing? How did it turn out? Any suggestions for me?

My son is 19 now, so we’re long past most of the childhood stage.
The most important thing is to be there. Hold them, feed them, talk to them, read to them. Sleep when they sleep. The sleep loss is killer. I used to see flashing lights in my vision, so take every opportunity to sleep. The first couple of years can be rough, but you’ll get through it. Just be there and be patient; kids really know how to push buttons.
Frankly, kids can be a lot of fun. They’re wide open to experiences and they give you an opportunity to see the world through new eyes.
If you want my opinion: Start saving for college now. We lucked out and NM has free tuition at state schools for HS grads, but even a mid-tier university is insanely expensive.
Also, congrats! It’s a wild ride, frustrating at time, but well worth the effort.
thanks, good suggestion about college, Florida has a “prepaid” thing that you throw money at and it covers tuition only.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE UPCOMING BIRTH OF A NEW GOD OR GODESS!!
I managed to not have any kids. Something I really wanted to do. I know that kids can be great, and they can be awful… like my stupid sister was. A lot of that has to do with parenting, and I feel that your kid will be very lucky to have you as a parent.
Congrats once again!!

Welcome to the journey. Remember that your child will grow into the person you shape. Firm, fair and consistent. Set boundaries knowing they will test them. Remember that they will not be perfect, but neither are you. That’s okay. Talk to them. Not baby talk. Play with them. Read to them. Limit their screen time, or at least make them earn it. There were many good, fun (for them) educational games. I have three and they are all completely different. But, they are all polite and well educated.
Grats Tiki!
Congrats.
“Impregnated my wife with a baby”.
Congrats! And of all the things you’d want to impregnate your wife with, a baby is definitely in the top three.
Do keep us posted on the little future Aquarius’s progress.
What are the other two?
we tried for a horse but it didn’t work out very well.
You obviously didn’t do it HORSEY STYLE. Maybe next time.
Or Gangnam Style…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIKI !!!
thanks buddy, I had to work for it, but at least I have a job!
I hope that you engaged in some sort of debauchery!
Why can’t I see the queue?
…is that still a thing? are you sure you is logged in?
Yup- logged in. I’m getting frustrated checking to see how many of the photos I’ve uploaded that are not in the QUEUE. So many photos… sniff. sniff. LMAO
