Fatherhood anonymous; an open discussion on being a dad.

My wife had a glass or two of wine or a beer many nights while pregnant. Both seem to be fine, the 2 yo is pretty advanced for his age.

Which is easier, 1 or 2 kids?

1 until they're old enough to conspire against you.

It’s perfectly fine here and there and actual science backs that up. There’s a lot of scare tactics around pregnancy for the greater good that aren’t necessarily connected to reality.

Yep. Very good friend of mine is a retired neonatologist who told my wife while she was pregnant, “you’re not capable of drinking enough wine to hurt your baby”. (Wife is a lightweight)

My favorite was “no sushi” - which they’ve officially stopped recommending. Like, WTF do you think the Japanese do? Are in utero babies dying left and right? That was always so dumb. It was basically like don’t get food poisoning or e.coli, which happens more often in this country from bad romaine lettuce than it does from raw fish.

Exactly, when I worked in restaurants, more often than not the salad bin was the e coli culprit.

Bumping this up for all the new dads in the house!!

Little Ember is almost 7 months and boy what a joy she is; full of spunk and happiness. Can’t imagine my life without her.

Couple shots from today; had a special moment as we sat on our first of many chair lifts together after hiking up Mt Spokane.

Yah buddy!! Hope to meet her soon

I love love love being a dad but our 9 year old can really push us past sanity sometimes. She’s so damn stubborn about everything and it’s worn on my wife and I over time. And the anxiety with the whole CV situation fucking sucks when you have a kid to protect.

[JayPowHound]

My oldest is 11. Teenage years are around the corner.


She's awesome, and super frustrating at the same time.

I feel you Dad..

[hatchgreenchile]

Kids are great , especially when the 6 year old calls you a “stupid fucking idiot “ for asking her to clean her art desk . FKNA

I don’t want to disrupt the estrogen that’s flowing, but it’s pretty fucking awesome when they’ve all moved out!

You need a quiver of shotguns.

You need a quiver of chastity belts.

FIFY…….

My 6 year old has yet to learn the phrase, but the sentiment is certainly there sometimes.

All in all, though, I'm trying to savor this age. No diapers to change, no teenager nonsense, going for a ski or bike ride with dad usually makes her day, etc.

No, I like my idea better.

Ya, there's a sweet spot. Blink and it's over. Enjoy it while you can.

[TahoeJ]

My oldest turns 13 in a few weeks and I just had to have my first "no, you cannot wear that out" conversation. Oh boy. And so it begins...

Seconded. 4 through 9-ish remains my favorite age. Everything is cool, including you.

It’s cool that I can have increasingly interesting conversations with the 15 year old, but those conversations are just as frequently relative non-starters and I’m lucky to get them in the first place.

You'll love 16 then.
