You'll be amazed at how many things in life instantly come into perspective instantly as soon as you become a parent. Good luck, senpai

Are and your gf going through with the pregnancy?

Can you give some context? Everyone I've talked to tells me this same thing but what does it really mean?

Yeah, my daughter's two now so it's a bit too late to abort.

How has your life changed? What is your quality of life? Are you in good terms with your baby's mama? Do you genuinely love your kid?

Your relationship with your parents, wife, etc. You've never felt (or understood) that a human being can love something else SO much. All of the sudden you realize: "Oh, fuck - if my parents ever loved me even half as much as I love this kid, they loved the everloving shit out of me". It's not really something one can explain, but you'll feel it.

Its a wierd transition.

Life goes from whatever you want to do, to being focused on one thing all day everyday.

Babies suck, but toddlers are great. They start as the ultimate cockblock, and all they do is eat and cry. When they get old enough to have a personality they instantly become tolerable and even fun.

They learn new stuff everyday, and thats really the fun part of having kids.

Breastfed baby shit smells like butter popcorn.

Get a babysitter every once in a while, or the responsibility will eat at you too much. You'll need little breaks.

Take a lot of pictures and video with time stamps, because you'll forget parts of their development. You'll get real forgetful about things like that.

You'll start tearing up at mushy disney movies like a little faggot bitch.

Thats all the major points.

1 & 3 year old girls

your new life:
>literally shit everywhere
>you'll sleep half as much as you used to
>the world instantly becomes a scary place

but like everything in life you get out of it what you put into it

you put in lots of time and love and you will get it

you put in vitriol and hate, you will get it

my advice:
>be a more kind person to everyone in your life
>lead by example in every way you can
>develop an alcohol problem to survive mentally

The mother and I stayed together, relationship seems to be working okay. I love my kid more than anything and I really enjoy seeing her grow up. I'm just a bit overworked because I'm trying to finish my bachelor's degree and working weekends. Pretty sure it will be worth it though.

exactly. even when you're kid is 16, you still feel the same way. that love is just there, and it's something you can't explain.

Your life is going to change dramatically.
People will criticise every decision you make. You will be sleep deprived for a long time. Boy or a girl?

Girl. Wife likes the name Olivia. Olivia's are generally tall and pretty.

also gratz OP

This user said it.

Everything, and I mean every goddamn thing, becomes in relation to your child. And it happens literally on the spot upon seeing their face for the first time.

Waking up in the morning, how you drive on your way to work, your purpose and drive in life will all be placed behind this new "does it provide for my kid? Is it good enough for them?" question.

You are going to be terrified that your child is not breathing when they are sleeping

Stop at 2 children, 3 is too many

Fatherhood is the greatest thing that will ever happen to you, congrats

I was amazed at how long everything took to do after having our first kid. Just be patient. There will be plenty of times when you want to hurl yourself off a cliff but there will also be plenty of highs as well.

The point about alcohol is crucial tbphwy

It's a hell of a ride. I've got two. One eight, the other six. So cliche' to say, but enjoy every moment you can. It goes by incredibly fast. Seems like yesterday I was holding my first one right after she was born.

Also, no matter how prepared you think you are, you aren't. And that's ok.

As another user said, alcohol can help get you through the rough spots. Cheers to you!

This is very accurate.

My son is 11 months and he's a fucking blast. Walking and starting to talk a bit. You can rough house with him a bit. Infants aren't fun at all. Once they get older though it's awesome. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

For real you're gonna need to drink or take up some minor substance use in order to hang and stay sane, esp if you knocked up a crazy bitch and plan to stick it out with her for the kid.

If the latter is your case, let me know. I got years of experience there

It's never to late.

Yep, listen to this user. We thought of stopping at 2, ended up with 4. We would have been in a waaaay better position stopping at 2.

Yeah, kids are great. Just keep an eye on them incase they decide to rape your drugged out body while you sleep...

I only have missing pills so far. I fear putting up a camera.

I wish I was an alcoholic.

Damn. Wouldnt wish that on anyone. Sorry user.

Totally agree with this. It's awesome when they get there own little persona and can converse with you. I'm a father of a 9yr boy and 7yr girl. Not with baby mama no more though cuz she changed too much and put too much shit into our relationship.

Thx bro

Father of a 12 year old and a 1 year old here

I hope you married well the first time. I didn't.

waited for this

Keep reading all these posts about no sleep, crying, etc,etc. I'm so happy I have none of this. I got twins who are 7 months. Only cry when they need some thing and quickly quiet down after, let me sleep through out the entire night. Shit, dealing with the wife being pregnant was more difficult than dealing with twins.

Are you some how implying your daughter is using your dick while you are out cold?

I just wanna say good luck and congratulations I'm a single father of one boy aged 7 and he's not seen his mum since he was 2 ,

Take each day as it comes,watch the clock as the baby will put you to a schedule and it changes regularly .have patience

Never get mad or angry to your child and mother don't be an asshole if you break up BE a MAN and provide. Be there always work your ass off .every step you take , don't regret keel going . Eat that lemon strait and swallow your pride because your the 5th wheel.

OP when you hold your baby for the first time tomorrow do these thing when you see it for the first time

>blink your eyes
>stick you tongue out a bit
>hold up your hand and make a fist

newborns can and will mimic these gestures !!!

t. father of two

I had a son 2 months ago. I never knew I could love something so much

Sorry for you loss user

If this is your reality you're doing something wrong.

You must've never had pringles. Once you pop, the fun don't stop.

youre biggest mistake was not terminating that child while you had the chance. RIP OP

Father of a 3-year-old boy. It's going to be intense, and you are gonna have some really hard times - sleep deprivation, financial concerns, changing relationship with your partner, plus possibly some existential concerns about your place in the universe.
But it is TOTALLY worth it, literally the most wonderful thing. After the first few hell-months, everything starts to get really good really quick. Just hold on, be strong, sleep when you can, and don't blame yourself for how you feel. It's the best.

I just hope she's stealing pills to sell.

>hope daughter is drug dealer instead of rapist
>#firstworldproblems

Tell me about it. I love both my kids unconditionally , they are my life and why i do all that i do to support them.

Pringles are sub-par. Sour cream cheddar ruffles are better

I hope you have a diaper genie and don't need much sleep. I am 7 months in with a micro-preemie (born 600 gr) lots of doctors appointments, stress fear and lack of sleep. Whenever you get pissed just stop and chill

Are you me?

Do not shake the baby.
Do not give the baby beer to quite him or her.
Do not think a baby can catch a football at 3 months, not everyone can be Jerry rice.
Do not give the baby access to your stock options, turns out babies are kind of stupid.
Do not attempt to trade your baby for a 59 mustangs, turns out this is frowned on.

...

No faggot

Unlikely, I'm not a samefag.

Congrats! 46 with 12 yr old and 7 yr old boys. Kids are a trip! And a lot of fun.

Haha, every time i cooked noodles or open a packet of chips or lollies no matter what my son would some how pop up from nowhere wanting some.

tip: don't run from responsibility like i did.

Best way I can say it user is that you now see a different side of your actions and how they directly impact your kid. No matter how big of a faggot you are your kid will look up to you and emulate how you deal with people around you. You and your gf will always be loved by the kid so don't let them down because they trust you unconditionally.

For the first couple months the baby will sleep almost all day besides to eat and wiggle around violently as exercise. After that you'll either have a cool baby that sleeps through the night or one who constantly wakes up. I dont know what your spouse situation is but make sure you're spreading out the responsibilities evenly to avoid conflict stress. Dont forget to live your life too, just because you have a baby people forget about themselves and it causes problems for everyone in your life.

I genuinely feel sorry for you though. Have you spoken to her about this? If she didn't want you in the kids life, did she just tell you to torture you or something?

Some good comments. It makes you much less cynical and once they start engaging with you it's great fun.

Don't worry about not knowing what you're doing, it's the same for everyone. Gradually you'll pick up on what they are crying for.

1) Get some last minute pregnancy pussy
2) prepare to be tired af for a long time

we don't speak. I left her to her life, didn't feel like doing custody battles or anything. would only cause more pain

It will be the best and worst thing to happen to you.your going to wanna strangle them one second and hug them the next. It's a strange feeling. Your life and the desicions you make in it will completely change. Everything will revolve around them. Find some hobbies to do at home. Take tons of pictures and make sure to back up often. They grow up so fast your heads gonna spin. I still can't believe how fast the last 4 years has gone. Make sure to give your woman attention. It will be hard. But it helps in the long run. Try your best to raise them to be decent humans. My 4 year old son is more behaved and respectful then the majority of the shit teenagers I meet. Be there and be a good influence. You can't make them into what you want them to be. But you can sure guide them down the right path. My wife had our daughter 7 months ago. Daughters will make you see this world for the awful hole it is. Completely different feeling with this one.... she's my nightmare. Good luck man. Half the time I wanna drive my truck into a tree but that passes when my son tells me he loves me or I get a smile from my daughter that no one has ever given me.

That sucks man.

put up the camera and fap to it later

My kid squirmed at first user but then she accepted the weanie

Had my first kid (daughter) last week. I'm 23.

I keep holding her and staring into her beady eyes before I start crying. It's incredible, it's so beautiful. There is a whole lifetime in those eyes that is yet to be experienced.

I have 1 nephew already from my big brother and he is the shit. I can't wait for my daughter to hit the 6-8 month mark where she has her own little personality and can move around a bit on her own.

Before she was here I was pretty sure I'd leave my girl, I didn't want a kid ever and I really didn't love her that much. Seeing this little girl has made me want to stay with her mom and be a good provider for them both to make sure that she has the best life possible. I've already started looking for a new/second job so that I can make more money and move us into a bigger place. I set up a tax-sheltered account for her before she was born.

I'm really trying to hit all of the marks that my parents couldn't afford for me when I was growing up and became a young adult. I never want her to worry about anything financial and for her to thoroughly enjoy her entire life with a lot of different and healthy experiences.

Good luck bro, you're helping build the future of Earth. Make it a good one.

this cheers me up tho. happy for you user

bro that first cry will make you feel very small. just remember, what you want doesnt matter anymore.

Don't have kids if you're not 600% sure she is the one.
I would dare to even say :
Don't have kids.

But, you know... it happened to me and a friend of mine, and my sister, it didn't happen to two other couples I know...
It's a risk you can take, but it's a thing I would gladly turn back time to avoid.

Children need two parents. Don't turn your back on them.
They aren't much fun until they can eat McDonald's for lunch, and no longer shit their pants.

sorry u had to deal with all that.

That's me. Are you still together? And if so, are you two faithful?

Not a father yet and am still unsure if I want children. I'm engaged to be married in June and am currently 27. I just keep thinking that I've worked my ass off to get where I am and deserve to enjoy my income and happiness without much responsibility (I'm an engineer two years out of grad school). Why should I have to live for something else when I've barely lived for myself?

Thanks.
I'm actually still dealing with it, the divorce was officially pronounced last Monday...
Took 5 years, actually.
Last time I saw my son, he was 1yr, he's 4yo now and I don't even think he remembers me.

Sex life goes away.

your kids will find you one day.

Nailed it. That fucking movie where the girl has a control center in her head. Bawled.

Put the effort in early. My daughter is approaching a year old and I spent a lot of time with her early on helping her through small excersizes and stuff. You can look those up. Now shes physically ahead of most kids her age. I take great pride in it.

100% this. It is why people say you have to be a parent to know what it is like. It is like an emotional dial in your brain gets turned up.

Sleepless nights
Sticky poop
Throw up (just a word, do not play air plane after your baby has just eaten. The baby may be smiling but it's because it has a perfect aiming posture)
Cover the privates quickly. Babies can piss long distance; even females.
Boring sex since she now has a child support dowry
Babies don't bounce on concrete
Blow air up your wife's hole and make her blow raspberries out her vagina. (Much fun and may lead to unexpected kinky sex)
Other wives hitting on you at daycare

Im 34 with 3 kids and a grey beard, nuff said

I agree with you completely, and I'm also not sure if i want kids

we had a hard birth, Dont look down. Breathing is important. You wife is always right. Later dont bother fighting, its not worth the energy. Most importnant. Dont shake the baby!

get an apartment for a few months, life with what used to be your wife will suck until she returns to close to normal. Also drink heavily and alone, your life is over.

its not too late, you can abort her now without problems

It does drain your time and resources but at the same time thinking of life before kids seems empty and lonely. Sex was definitely easier. Oddly why wife's pussy was tighter after our kids. Exercising I guess.

Boy or girl? My best advice, try and explain things to them when they're old enough, get them into sports, and listen when they talk

Its a crazy road bro. Its so amazing watching someone grow from nothing to being able to walk and talk. Sure there will be ups and downs, but just remember that you're teaching them. Its a great ride man. Congrats

Yeah, every baby ive had ive checked on them in their sleep and for a terrifying moment thought they weren't breathing.

Also i disagree with they idea of 2. I have 3, 2 older boys and a 14 month old girl. I would probably have another but all of my wife's pregnancies were dangerous and after the last one i just couldnt do it to her again.

The worst part of it is that we've outgrown our house.

i have daughters in college

dont be afraid to make mistakes - its a work in progress

best of luck OP

Just be patient and strong. Remember that literally nothing the baby does is their fault, and that they're experiencing mostly fear and confusion. You can't get angry, no matter how tired exhausted or overextended you get, because the baby didn't ask for any of it. You volunteered.

Welcome to wage slavery OP. Get ready to come to the realization that your entire life is now dedicated to that kid. 24 hours a day 7 days a week your
"choices" (TV, movies, vacation, where to live, where to go eat, what friends to hang out with) will be dominated by what the wife and the kid will be willing to LET you do. Oh and I hope you enjoyed sleeping up till now because that shits over as well. Also you'll need to start making more money. Oh and btw you better do a good job on raising the kid or it will grow up to hate you OR hooked on drugs stealing your money or in jail begging you for bail. You might even get blessed with a half nigger baby you'll be expected to raise. Even if it grows up "good" expect to get shoved into a nursing home a the first sign of you having a medical issue.

it's important that you don't let the fatigue and sleep deprivation get to you. and remember that babies cry on instinct, and you need to detatch yourself from feeling the need to quiet them. what I found most interesting is I used to hate the sound of babies crying. now, if it's not my kid, I can't even hear it. someone else's kid can be screaming it's head off and it's just no big deal for me at all.

>You'll start tearing up at mushy disney movies like a little faggot bitch.

Yeah. It's pretty fucking embarrassing, but this is 100% true. It doesn't even have to be super sad, you start tearing up at random things because it makes you think of your baby and your brain gets stupid.

It actually sounds more like you've gone insane tbh but also that you are ok with being insane

Changing the diapers aint that bad not like the movies

My wife is about to go into full blown labor as I'm typing this. Borderline freak out mode. Excited as fuck

I will be a dad in less than a month, good luck OP

watch out because girls are retarded mentally during that

That's actually your brain getting ready to die. Screenshot this and read it again in 2 months. You'll understand.
