@GraemeE man, I look forward to the day my little guys are self sufficient enough to even babysit themselves with TV while we sleep in. We’re still in the crack of dawn, get their little asses up, wipe those asses, and try to feed them while getting screamed at for giving them a blue bowl instead of a yellow one phase
-
@chillmonroe typically one of us still has to be "up" ( turns out 5 year olds have shitty judgment/impulse control if left to their own) but if we can stream a show we can be in zombie mode with tea or coffee until we actually wake up
-
@GraemeE ah. Yeah we do that for sure. Four and two year old here. Although the oldest requires Transformers (from the 1980s only, dad win right there) and the youngest requires Ms Rachel. So we either set em up in different rooms or put Transformers on the big screen and give the little one the phone while we make breakfast and caffeinate

Ms Rachel
Simultaneously the best and the worst
Works like a tranquilizer dart though

Tryna get these boys off the TV now the weather’s warming up a bit. There’s a little lake in our backyard and we have a paddle boat. Took it out with my little homie yesterday, first time of the year. Gonna get out there again here in a bit. Good times

Another top tip if they offer parenting classes over there don’t book it in for just before the due date just in case, Jacob decided to pop out 6 weeks earlier than was due and the classes were booked for 3 weeks before the due date
Flying by the seat of our pants we were

@Oaktavia congrats dude!
-
@Brian oh wow! We have our classes booked to start in May and into June...I can't remember how long they go but they are well before the due date.
@goosehd I'm hoping that raising two crazy golden retriever puppies a few years ago gave me at least some insight as to what this monumental part of my life may be like.

@Tago-Mago I was just thinking the nice thing about our due date window of 9/20-26 is it was during the same time I was in Europe last year. At work, I was able to establish myself to all the new 6th grade students for the first five or six weeks before I was out. It's a good time line...
