    Don't leave your wife to do all the kid stuff. Wake up in the night with your kids. The bonding you get when you are 1 on 1 changing diapers, feeding them, singing to them. Watching them fall asleep. That never comes back. You never get another chance to do it. I love taking care of my kiddos.

    I never thought in a million years I would be interested in doing any of the things you mentioned......but I honestly cannot wait, and I am looking so forward to it!

     

    Thank you

    Man... All I can say is congrats.

     

    On a personal note, I am not a Dad. And honestly never thought that I wanted to be.

     

    However, now that I am about to turn 38. I have made huge accomplishments in my personal life. Pretty much have done everything that I set my mind to... I have thought about having a child more and more.

     

    I am super excited for you, and am very thankful for this post.

    That's where my wife and I were. We've been fortunate enough to be able to accomplish and do so many things, been blessed in so many ways. We had talked about having children the last couple years and now the time just felt right. Kinda hard to explain it really. Thank you for the kind words.

    Maybe you can start a Gmail account and forward him this post so he sees it when he turns 16. I would think as a lawyer you would realize in this age of people calling child protective services for spanking and leaving negative business reviews you might realize calling your kid a fat retarded beaner and bragging about hooker babysitters was a bad idea. Congrats on the most deplorable post in the history of LP.

     

    Pretzel Guy, great news and happy for you. Sorry this nonsense had to distract from an otherwise awesome thread.

     

     

    No worries. I did ask for anything anyone wanted to share......Besides, there's nothing anyone can say that's gonna take the smile off my face!

     

    No back and forth....let's get this back on track please. I really appreciate all the positive feedback I'm getting from you Dad's!

     

    Keep them coming!

    These are the things I am wanting to hear. Thank you so much for all the replies so quickly! Porter's idea with the email is brilliant (thank you for that, I will be using it).

     

     

    Please continue, especially you guys that got a late start on this like myself.

    My wife and I are expecting our first child the last week of October. We found out last Friday we are having a Boy!!!! I had said I didn't care up until that point what we had as long as they were healthy, but after hearing I will have a son I am truly beyond words.

     

     

    Not to bore anyone with a long story, but I didn't have a Dad growing up. Mine left my mom and I when I was 5, and sadly have only started having contact with him the last couple years. I only tell you that to say I have concerns that I won't be a good Dad, I don't really have anything to go by. I didn't have anyone around to show or teach me how to do anything really other than my mother, but she always worked a couple jobs while I was growing up to make sure we were okay.

     

    Keeping this short...

     

     

    I am just asking for any advice, help, knowledge or anything else you want to share that might help me ease my mind a little.

     

     

    Also, I am 40 years old, so any of you who have had a child later in life, PLEASE share your experiences.

     

    Thanks!
