I keeed I keeed.

[tinycorkscrew]

Don't freak out, and enjoy being with your kid.

Don't turn into a "family friendly" douche.

[ty-lot]

Hey,CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have an incredible,amazing,unique,unbelievable opportunity,
please don't miss it!!!!
Don't put yourself under pressure trying to plan in advance how
you can be a good father.
Your son/daughter will grow with you,and you'll grow with him/her in
a fantastic trip into this world where you are older with more experience.
Father and son is a relationship completely different than mother and son.
Father and son is a relationship that developpe slowly and deeply intense
at the same time.
The first 3-4-5 years the relatiotionship between you and your son/daughter
will be strongly determined by the relationship between you and your woman.
It's an amazing voyage that you'll appreciate the more you'll be humble,
joyfull,serious and funny.
There isn't any book that can teach you how to be a good dad;
just remember that "it's easy to be father;it's difficult to be a good father".
You can make it;you will for sure!!
Welcome on board sir.
Salut a tutt.

what's a family friendly douche?

[hopelesshomo]

healthy white babies go for upwards of $50,000 on the black market.
i hope your baby is white.

your statement is a catch-22:
white babies go on the white market, duh.

[ozzy lee harvwald]

what's a family friendly douche?

A douche who tries to foist "family values" on the non-child wanting world. In other words, don't PG13 my NC17, man.

[world of pee]

In other words, don't PG13 my NC17, man.

as long as you don't nc17 my kid, then nc17 away.

[ozzy lee harvwald]

Well alright then. Also don't go to any restaurants until he/she is 30.

[motorbike guy]

just love em.

don't hurt them.

teach them how to act.

expect great things, and you will get great things.

[world of pee]

mom-to-be has tooth infection. dental work requires antibiotics and local anesthetic. according at least one study with a small test group, anesthetic, even local, can reduce your baby's iq 20 points. tooth infection can't go untreated until end of pregnancy because not only would it get terribly worse, but also the infection itself is supposed to be bad for the baby-in-utero.

any advice on how the hell to get around this? obviously the oral surgery cannot be done without anesthetic. can anyone show me something disproving that study?

whiskey...

[major malling marsupial]

A) change your name from world of pee.

i think of world of poo is appropriate.
as for the tooth, i can't disprove any studies from where i'm sitting but i can tell you that babies are remarkably resilient. courtney love's kid seemed to turn out all right.
you're in for a wild ride/.

Don't sweat shit like IQ points. I know people who do, but really, it doesn't matter for at least two reasons: anecdotally, I know parents who didn't particularly care about it, and still ended up with smart kids; then there's the fact that in terms of overall success in life, IQ matters less than do social skills. Have the surgery with drugs. It'll be fine.

You'll hear this from a lot of people, but sleep in as much as you can now. Do lots of nothing on weekends. It'll be your last chance for a while.

You'll read articles about the various and sundry contents of your go-bag for the hospital. Turns out (from our whoops-the-kid's-early experience), you don't need that much, but be sure to bring your camera.

Get in there and change some diapers. You'll earn goodwill, and they're not that scary. I now look upon non-diaper-changing fathers with haughty contempt.

And yeah, just love the kid. It'll do more for him/her than this or that particular yuppie fad baby food or whatnot.

A) change your name from world of pee.

i think of world of poo is appropriate.

I laughed. Well done...though world of pee is also appropriate.

Best of luck!

If you want dadness make your kid listen to this:




and this




everyday on trips to the hardware store to pickup 2x4's. At least thats what my dad did.

[world of pee]

oh, i was already planning on changing diapers. i don't look forward to it, but jesus, dads who don't change diapers? what kind of treason is that? it's not like we have to go through labor or anything -- the least we can do is change diapers.

losthighway, were you an excitable boy?
did you make anyone into a cage of bones?
