  • It was really helpful~! Good to know that I can still sneak in some video game time. However I will have to negotiate with my wife to get more hours to play Metal Gear Solid 4. But first I will have to convince her that the PS3 is worth buying... Damn SONY!!
  • Thanks for a) this site and b) putting a few of my fears at ease a little bit.

    Unfortunately, #10 seems like a definite possibility if our pre-pregnancy sex life is any indicator (once every 3-4 months or so, but that\'s an entirely different story), but who knows?

    Thanks!
  • Absolutely right on all of these, especially #5. When son #1 was born 5 years ago, I dug in my heels on the minivan thing and got an SUV. Everything was fine until son #2 arrived, and son #1 started having playdates... no room for car seats and boosters for everyone. Meanwhile, all of our friends had taken the Sienna/Odyssey leap. It was right around that time that... y'know... those minivans started looking pretty awesome. We finally took the plunge last month, and have never been happier.

    If you can swing it, go the whole nine yards: DVD, JBL sound system, Bluetooth, 72 cup holders. And the first time you hook up the video game to the DVD system through the aux jack, your son will look at you in amazement, as if you had just invented fire.
  • I agree with most of this list-- while I don't recommend fatherhood for everyone, especially those that appreciate sleep at will, it really is a lot easier (or at least more straightforward) than some movies and people would have you believe.

    If you think you might want to do it, just go for it sooner rather than later, so you can get out while you're still young.
  • this is a great blog lol i just found you while looking for beach carts!
    our baby will be 6 mos and this is our first summer with a kid so trying to get it all together for the place we just rented!
  • I especially agree with 5 and 10. Sex gets better actually.
  • This is awesome, I am totally impressed, you really got these things right! keep posting like this!
