  • Small announcement (Tiny, really)

    Emm I know sometimes we share good moments from our personal so just thought I'd say that I had a nice dinner a bit earlier (that's not the annoucement!), at which my wife was a bit excited and wanted to tell me something big. After we'd finished (she said that we wouldn't be able to eat on news like this!) she told me I'm going to be a dad:)). God help that child.....but it's the best news I've ever had. I may need some training in nappies and prams and all sorts, but by god am I willing to learn!

              He/She...might be they (twins/trips) will look like you. After a few years, you'll get this strange feeling as you see a little human being (or 2) walking about the house where it was formerly a 2 occupant flat. I try to spend as much time as I can with my friend's kids. The first few years are the best, especially before they learn how to say "no."

              disclaimer: the first few years are great because I didn't have diaper duty for my friend's kids...and if they throw a tantrum, I just hand them off to the parents...

                Congratulations: Being a good father can be demanding at times, confusing at times and rewarding all at the same time. Our daughter will be 35 this week but she has given us 2 grandchildren to start all over again.

                Diaper designs certainly has changed over the years. When I changed diapers of my kid brothers (one 12 years younger than me and the other 18 years younger than me) the trifold with one giant safety pin was just being changed to a rectangular pattern with two giant safety pins (one on each side). Now they come custom fit and secured with Velcro.

                  I'm an uncle to three, kids are the best damn thing in the world. Just like Gunnut said, especially the ones you get to give back at the end
