So you're going to be a Dad but who is the father?

The best quote on parenting - "It's a hundred times harder than you ever imagined it would be, but a thousand times more rewarding than you ever dreamed it could be".

Congrats, man

Oy man, if that's whatcha want then good on ya. The child-rearing thing scares me to no end but I'm always happy for the folk out there who want to be parents.

Dilly dilly!

I would be the worst dad ever. That is why I don't do it. I'm glad you are pumped about it, I'm sure that is more than half the battle and a good sign you will be a good dad. If I had a kid, I feel like I would resent him/her's existence because I could never do whatever I wanted to do whenever I wanted to do it, ever again.

First thing you do is get a maternity test, make sure it's hers.

When are you going to take the family to Arrowhead for the baby's first CHIEFS game?

Congratulations. I pray that the pregnancy goes well and you have a healthy baby in due time.

Here's my advice:
1. You're the dad, not the friend.
2. The best way to love your kids is to love your wife.
3. Let them cry it out sometimes...and by all means don't be a helicopter parent.
4. Offer unconditional love and grace to your kids.
5. Live in the moment. They'll be out of the house before you know it.
6. The whole point of parenting is to prepare them to be adults.
7. Know how to count to "3." Discipline your kids...don't punish them.
8. Give yourself grace. You can't be fully prepared for what parenting is, but God gave your child to you knowing your shortcomings.

You sound like you'll be a great dad. Congratulations!!!

As soon as he or she is old enough to appreciate it.

We have a couple in front of our seats at Arrowhead who have a now 7 year-old son. We've watched that kid come to games since he was 4. He's as diehard as anyone, and it's awesome. If my kid isn't interested, I won't force it...but that looks like a lot of fun.

F that. She'd better have it AT Arrowhead

Congrats.

I was also 33 when we found out we were having a kid. Then we found out we were having 2...

If my experience is any indication, you’ll find it exhaustive and frustrating and perfect and rewarding and amazing.

FishingRod 06-07-2018 02:28 PM

Spend your time with them and enjoy every minute. Time goes so fast. Also don't forget to make time with the spouse.

Dude, you're gonna look back one day with huge regrets. I felt the same way in my 20's . Busy working and just not interested in a family. Then at 36 we had my daughter and life, priorities all changed. My daughter became everything. From teaching her to walk to now teaching her to drive. it's a great ride.

He's obviously a self absorbed dumbass

If it's a boy, make sure you buy him an escort for his 13th birthday.

If it's a girl, she's not allowed to date until 30.

That's the only advice I have as I have no kids or ex-wives....
