The Mrs is pregnant with our first kid absoloutely delighted can't wait

Probably lucky at the moment she is not being sick with 'morning' sickness just keeps moaning at me that she feels sick and blaming me.....

So anyone got any tips for me then for my upcoming fatherhood ?

Yeah, stop calling everybody a cunt  :D Probably won't go down too well in front of the little one.

aye, get a nice thick leather belt..... :mrgreen:

Congrats.

Firstly it's clearly your Mrs fault for saying yes. She should have played the headache card.

Secondly, don't hold your baby over your head while lying on a sofa. Particularly if the have eaten less than 30 minutes previous. And definitely not while making a "weeeeeee" sound whilst jiggling him/her up and down, no matter how much baby is smiling. A mouth full of baby sick is not recommend

Thirdly there is no instruction manual for babies. Mother nature didn't think that one through. But all the worries of sleepless nights, dirty nappies, etc, etc aren't as bad as you'd think. You get through it.

Lastly, enjoy it. When they say time flies they mean it.

In all fairness, I think it was only me he was calling a cunt all afternoon.

Like I said, the moody fucker aint getting any now is he !

 :mrgreen:

It didn't help with you rubbing it in either  :mrgreen:

:mrgreen:

Only tips i can give are, choose the side of the bed furthest from the door, and never be afraid to "play possum" when they wake up at 3am.

 Yep....save up some money,  kids are mighty expensive.

 Be prepared for your life never being the same again....

what reg said.plus having kids is the best thing that will ever happen to you.just hope it doesn't wreck your sex life

 Is this the voice of experience?

yep.but it improved and is probably better than it ever was.

 Think it's a bit inevitable that the whole period of time involving pregnancy, the consequences of child birth and being a new mother, take a physical toll on a woman, which is why I'd recommend to a fella that he puts himself about a bit and doesn't take on fatherhood until at least late 20's or even as in my case early 30's

i was a dad at 21 and my mrs had just turned 19.we had only been together a few months and it was tough for a while.but we are still together.our kids are growing up fast, and we are still both young and have a fantasic social life and active kids.
there are benefits and pit falls to whatever age you have children i reckon

Being a Father is the best thing in the entire world !

FACT !

 It's a fair point....we're all different.

I woulkd contact these people www.liveinaustralia.comand see if you can get out of it.

And your still a CUNT  :soapy tit wank:

Not as many scary tips as I expected...I thought I'd get people telling horror stories and how to be afraid.....can't wait though whatever people tell me  :soapy tit wank:

I've already informed her that if she decides to drop while I'm at the game she will be required to hold on until the game is finshed so I don't miss the game or the birth.....went down really well as well !!!

to be honest, if the tannoy man came on and said

'this is an important message for Mr. Power to people (or your real name!) your wife has gone into labour and is on her way to the hospital'

Would you even hear it? Probably not, more importantly would her indoors believe you didnt hear it because the speaker system is crap

I became a Dad almost 6 weeks ago. I'm living in a kind of haze at the moment through lack of sleep. But, back at work tomorrow so will be able to sleep all night with the Mrs doing all the hard work.

It really is an amazing feeling, and although its tough, you do get through it. Time has flown so far, so I'm eagerly awaiting our first kick about!

Isn't Paternity leave wage crap, I've been looking it up and £110 a week is just a joke, all this about they want the fathers to have more rights etc but they don't make it affordable unless you use your hols from work.....

Nice to hear from someone that is going through it I am imagining all sorts awaits me.....

Brace yourself for some mean hormonal mood swings whilst your misses is pregnant p2p, just a heads up like.

But yeah, congrats and all that as being a father is wicked. I know that even should something happen between my wife and I in the future then my daughter will ALWAYS be my little girl, and nothing in the world can change that. Maybe that is what makes fatherhood that bit special.

It won't be easy, but it is worth it.

Good luck and congrats again.
