  • Im thrilled beyond words and scaared to bits at the same time

    Against my better judgement the wife and I have taken the plunge into parenthood.

    After a few nervous days In the NICU I just held my son for the first time today.

        Do's n donts , dont let him have a motorbike until he passes the test , do give him all your worldly experience when old enough in the pursuit of pussy and how best to avoid paying for the rest of his life for it ,,,,,,just like the rest of us , and keep him on the right road .

        You and he should be in for the best part of your lives , fishing / hunting / watching big games / boozing ? / and generally being best friends ,if he wants the forces later on , tanks are to be avoided , a trade is the way , mechanic , n god forbid , an engineer cherish your Son , both you n mum , forever .;)

            Bolo, your worst days going forward will now be better than your best days in the past.

            Buckle up and enjoy the ride!

              You will now discover that everything you were sure that you knew before no longer applies.

                  Many congratulations to you and your wife!

                  If you're in South India, make sure you keep your son away from toys like Teddy bear, which accumulates a lot of dust, and is the main cause of Asthma in newborns.

                    Just have a good washing machine. This will be one of the hardest lessons for parents. Children need to get sick. That's how they build immunity but the heavens know that it never seems to end.

                    Oh, about being a proper dad? Take a load off your mind. You won't be. You will be happy to just survive the experience ... and then marvel just how well you've done despite the angst.

                      Many Congratulations to you both. Don't worry too much...your time to relax will come in about 20/25 years. If you are lucky. No matter the future you will always remember this day. :danc:

                        Congratulations, mate. May he live long and prosperous life.

                        That said, yours just got postponed for at least 20 years, hope you will like it.

                          Fantastic. Everybody tells you what a responsibility it is, which it is. Everyone tells you how exhausting it is, which it is.
                          Practically no one tells you how much fun it is, and it is.
                          In the realm of spirit, seek clarity; in the material world, seek utility.

                            Why should we tell him that? We want to scare the crap out of him.
