I'm going to make a serious post. What for it... If my wife didn't hand me the kid when I walked in the door after coming home from work, I was taking him/her from her. Call me crazy, but I loved my "turn" when my kids were babies. I love the hell out of those little ****s.
Newborns nurse every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. When we first got home from the hospital, he would get up when the baby cried, change her diaper and bring her to me. He would wait for the 20 minutes while I fell back to sleep, then we would make the switch and he would stay up until she was finished, put her back in her crib and come back to bed. My husband would get up with me every single time right up until she was sleeping through the night. He did that with both girls. He has probably changed as many diapers as I have. He is completely patient and treats us like precious little creatures. I know the girls love him just as much as I do. Just a couple of hints Hooker, just in case you might like to have your wife treat you like a god. :D
Sounds more like your wife was a single parent. If I had only changed one diaper in my life and had three children, I definitely would not be proud of that fact. That just sounds messed up to me. But what do I know. Do you also make your wife wash and wax the car on Sundays?
This is understandable and how I felt when I was your age. But, its a far cry from what you originally said. The joys of having kids far outweighs the financial sacrifices. I would give up everything I own for my kids, if I had to. When someone makes it sound like they don't want kids purely because of financial reasons, (which you did) I fell that thought is retarded. So, I called your thought retarded, not you.
We here at BHC prefer the use of the term "mentally challenged". Please make a note. Thank you, and please drive through.
He sure is. Especially since he has to be the opposite of me. I am obviously smart. God must have been asleep at the wheel when he created Vito.
I have a neice that is mentally challenged. Sweetest lady in the world. She does however understand very clearly the word "retarded". It makes my heart break for her to know how that makes her feel. Please folks, understand that the R word is not just a word. It hurts people. It hurts people that have likely never done anything mean in their life. People that truely love to spend time on their computers because they find themselves with a lot of free time. Steps off soapbox....
I get that fletch. But everyone knows it has nothing to do with the mentally challenged person and is a slang these days. 20 years ago yeah. But nobody calls "retarded" people retarded anymore. Its not politically correct to do so. So retarded is now more a less a slang. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
I have a hearing disability that negatively affects my daily life. You see birthday over the hill signs and posters ripping on people that they can't hear anymore because they are old. You see commercials making fun of old people that can't hear. You see movies adding the stigma that hearing problems are only for the elderly. Does it bother me? No. People are just darn too sensitive these days. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Totally understand Dave. Ever since I was a kid my family has taken care of a (Insert PC word) guy. He has always been an extended part of the family. The problem I have is the ever changing acceptable words. When Jill was in college, one of her friends corrected me when I said retarded. "The proper term is Mentally Challenged." So, I used that. A few years later, I said mentally challenged in front of her. "That's not the proper term anymore, its 'With cognitive disabilities.'" So, what is the proper term now? Anyways....meet Freddy. He loves fishing, WWE wrestling and is a savant when it comes to old country music. And you're right, being a stay at home dad I've had waaaaay too much free time on the computer. That's why the house doesn't get clean. :D
