I lost like 2 years of my travels with exposed film. I learned that lesson. I saved my pictures in 2 different places on the internet now. I also fo a backup on a thumb drive. And on my current computer. I have a calendar appt. set to remind me to update yearly.

Just don't emulate the guy in your signature and you'll be fine.

This is all great stuff. Thanks, gents!

Congrats!

Everything you’ve seen, read or heard is true.

Cold. Lots of ice. Beautiful.

Next time PIIHB

Oh, and congrats

Congratulations!

As a woman, I can tell you that I can't think of a greater joy than hearing my boyfriend reading to our son, playing with our son, or giving our son a bath.

I'm not a man, but my advice to you would be to know that you're not going to be perfect. No one is. I don't know if dads compare themselves to other dads like moms compare themselves to other moms, but knowing that no one ever really has it all together helps a lot.

Be happy, be consistent, and treat his mother like a queen. Also, just be there.

Keep lots of high end liquor in the house for the age 2-3 range.

First of all congrats. I have a 3 year old daughter and 7 month old son. Here are some tips:

If you use a diaper genie, throw shitty diapers in that, and pissy diapers in the trash: it will save you money.

If you can, buy your formula and diapers from Costco, using their brand. Our pediatrician is adamant that there is no appreciable difference in the formula because of the strict requirements.

Get a bumbo and rockaroo.

Get your child sleeping in the crib as soon as possible. The longer you drag it out, the more painful it gets.

Take the binky away at 1 year.

Don't let your kids be assholes. Do not relent on your baseline principles. They are manipulative shits who will woo you with cuteness to get their way. Don't let family members try to trample on your parenting princples.

There are no "jobs". Clean up the shitty diapers, take turns bathing, and take turns waking up ever hour.

Always make time for each other at least once a month. This is almost more important than anything. Your kid needs both of you sane and happy.

Best thing that will ever happen to you.
You will not be able to remember what life was like before you had kids.
Congrats...you will do fine.
