Last night I read 'Oh, Baby, the Places You'll Go!' to my wife's belly.
Like the kid isn't going to grow up weird enough having ME as it's father - now it's gettin' Dr. Seuss books in utero.
weee!
I can't wait to be a dad... and just think - you nerds get to hear all about it.

Nice angle, are you going to pioneer the "I tricked you into heating up my post" strategy?. Next you'll be thanking me for the hits. All I can say is that it is my pleasure, particularly because it's clear that they have some important influence on your life.
Pioneer is probably not the right word since there have been thousands that have done it before you but I'll leave it in there so you can stick it in your resume or print it out and frame it on your wall.
You don't need to thank me for that. As I said, it's my pleasure.

A year later they meet again. The first man says, "My son is playing baseball. I had

steaky is correct as well. except on the language thing you want to wait until the little bug has a grasp of one --enough to converse freely, no big vocab needed-- before you start much more than very basic words in another. they will begin to garble the two together. this is a truthy thing i say here. wait until 2.5 or 3 years old to really begin to immerse the little shit in another language

Just out of curiosity Rob, what are you going to do when this kid is estranged to some far off desert planet and joins a rebel alliance hell bent on destorying the evil galaxy-domineering empire to which you yourself are a member? What will you do knowing that your destiny is to fall at the hand of your son by laser sword only to ensure the survival of hope and democracy in said galaxy? Will you be able to battle off the forces of evil coursing through your robotic heart and let goodness prevail? Shit if I go any further I may have to pay Lucas some sort of royalty...

Why not drums? Drums are great for kids. 1) Kids are energetic and you need energy to beat some great skins, and 2) learning percussion helps with mathmatics. Really.

Hmmm. Drums could be cool - but holy mega loud. I suppose there is always the dampening pads, or the garage.

Rob. If you want your kid to get the best life possible, do these two things, and the rest gets a lot easier. Trust me on this.
Have it learn an instrument from as young as it can hold one. There are too many good things that'll come from this for me to list.
Teach it another language, the more the better. The younger the child is, the more receptive the language centers in the brain are. This will do no end of good for your child.

French and German are on the list so far.
I don't know what instrument yet, but piano lessons are definite. Hopefully the guitar. I imagine that will be more of a personal choice.

Do you actually believe anything of what you say or do you just spew verbal diarrhea from your half-witted brain until it appeases you. The fact that you know very little about me pisses you off so you draw upon appearance based guess that I'm a frat boy or some other generalization that you didn't create. You sheepishly followed whatever the person before you said and no one has nailed it yet, however, you keep trying with the diligence matched by only an English autist trying to work out an advance logarithm.
Might I suggest that you give up, stop the charade that you are even one fraction better than me, let alone Corky?

Why can't sicosemen be a happy person simply because you find him to be a complete retard? I can't stand many of the people at my school, but I can accept the fact that they're happy people, despite their many, many shortcomings.

That is just the thing, I don't find him to be a complete retard... only a fairly large, blustery one.
He's not happy because of his own experiences - I could never know the 'why' - but I have fun putting the shattered pieces together in these limited blocks of text.
Bottom line is, I don't really care WHY he is damaged - in fact when he isn't being a bitch to me I typically find him quite amusing.
I do get all kinds of joy from this particular website... tapping into the collective consciousness that exists at www.ubersite.com brings me endless satisfaction.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd suggest you have it learn the piano first, because it's linear. There are no notes to bend, or slide to. It's easier for children to learn, and would give it a great background in theory for when it takes up the guitar.
Make it learn spanish first, as it'll be the most immediatley useful. Start on the languages closest to English, and work your way to Chineese.

You're right, I grew up in a single parent home, however, my mom loved me unconditionally. Would you like to cast some psychological aspersions as to how that reflects on my internet demeanor now or would you like to save that for the future?

I reserve the right to use that information at my discretion.
Your damage is far deeper than not having a father figure, but there is no question that impacted your apparent need to be a anonymous shallow douchebag.
Either way, I'm happy - you're not. By my score card that gives me the win.

Rob. If you want your kid to get the best life possible, do these two things, and the rest gets a lot easier. Trust me on this.
Have it learn an instrument from as young as it can hold one. There are too many good things that'll come from this for me to list.
Teach it another language, the more the better. The younger the child is, the more receptive the language centers in the brain are. This will do no end of good for your child.

Humans procreate to sustain the species, among other things.

Those other things are a true wonder to consider.
The idea of creating a life that you will always be responsible for is terrifying. This world is a fucking shit-show and with all the random stupid bullshit that happens every day I was convinced I would never have a child - the idea always seemed impossible to me.
Then, inexplicably, the idea became less absurd - and more exciting. Now it is a reality.
July 1st (ish) will be super fantastic.

For those Uberers who do not have children and do not like Rob (which, of course, is damn near everybody here), just wait. As soon as his kid arrives Rob won't be the same. I'm not saying that he won't be as fucking annoying as he is now - I'm just saying he, most likely, will not be the whiney little bitch that everybody now knows and hates. He won't have the energy. So have hope.
Rob, congrats. Its the best thing in life - hands down.

Thanks dude.
I'm of the general opinion that most people here don't give one shit smear about me one way or the other - but if I had to guess for those that even pay attention to me more people 'like me' than find me 'fucking annoying'.
Heh - I don't think I whine at all - in fact I find that assessment rather strange/surprising coming from you considering all of our interaction so far has been generally benign - positive. Oh sure I blather on and ON AND ON and fight incessantly with a few regular dorks - but I like to think I bring positive to this site than negative.
Meh - to each their own, I suppose

I reserve the right to use that information at my discretion.
Your damage is far deeper than not having a father figure, but there is no question that impacted your apparent need to be a anonymous shallow douchebag.

Your kid is ridiculously ugly already. Hopefully he doesn't grow up to be a middle age, manic, chubby person like you.
Good luck with all that, in all honesty.

Wife is a bit agnostic - to the point of not giving a shit about 'God' one way or the other.
But you can totally be Auntie Lishy.

I got proof that this works because when my kid was three months old, we ran into some parents that were in the same pre-natal class as us. Middle of the afternoon and my kid dressed and theres in jammies.
Guess who was sleeping all night?

Why is there a seuss hat on that PS3?
just kidding, good luck.
From one dad to another, from as early as possible
daytime= baby clothes, naps anywhere EXCEPT the crib.
nighttime= pajamas, sleeping only in the crib.
It trains them to learn day from night and your, little one will sleep all night long so much faster.
Trust me this worked with both my kids.

Awesome. That kind of advice is invaluable.
Thank you.
I am hoping we get ourselves a 'good sleeper' - I think a lot of it comes down to training, but some people just seem to have an easier time going to sleep than others.

"They" have found that there was increased uterine activity during the reading - which is true as I felt the little bugger kicking last night for the first time - and then there is a gradual settling down afterwards.
I guess it helps trigger a Pavlovian response: End of story time = bedtime.
I can imagine that is a good thing.
I know - the whole thing is a giant trip - I still can't believe I went halvsies on something so cool.
