As any dude who's wife (or girlfriend) has given birth knows, women have it pretty tough. Without going into detail, I have to say that I am sure glad that as a guy I don't have to carry the baby, give birth to the baby, and then feed the baby. I have had the easy part, which is just listening to the complaints (well-grounded) of the one who has to perform the aforementioned acts.
So I suppose the point of this post is, to simply say thank you to the wonderful women out there who carry such a burden for their families. Even though we get a little frustrated sometimes, we men really do appreciate it.
Also to the men who don't have kids yet, heads up! Grow some thick skin and forget about all the things you used to do in your spare time. My advice is to leave your wife once you find out she's pregnant. Just kidding about that last line, that was to see if you were really paying attention, and also to generate comments :)
In all seriousness, I love my wife and my son, and it is all worth it. It really isn't that bad, because Vanessa is really cool and makes it pretty easy on me. She gives me chores to do, but they are mostly only the things which she can't do for herself and needs help. She is very reasonable and I love her for that. Thanks Honey!
As for babies, they poop and pee a lot, and it is very foul... Also that first poop after they're born is literally like tar. It is jet black and super sticky. I don't know why, but I think it has something to do with their intestines pumping out the junk that accumulated during gestation. Maybe Basics With baby will do a post explaining this better.
Good luck to all.

ReplyDeleteIts about time you updated this blog. But a very nice, sensitive, caring, domesticated, new century kind of man you have become. Is that a good thing? Hmm, I will have to ponder that one. I think thats OK as long as you still like football, beef, nacho's, and hot wings. Oh and NASCAR. Dont let me catch you eating salad though..
