    @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

          I miss watching Sprout with the kids. I don’t think it’s still Sprout but those shows had the cutest hosts...

                      That gives us months of convincing you to get sleep and how to do everything you shouldn’t do 😀

                        Everything you think you know is wrong, everything everyone tells you is wrong, at some point your kids will gladly tell you you’re wrong.

                        It’s not bad though, except for the sleep. I never knew what tired was until we had them.

                          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

                              @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...

                                        There's a bit by a German comedian (yes yes, I know...) talking about how stupid kids always have stupid parents. So you definitely don't have to worry about that part @Oaktavia

                                          @Tago-Mago Haha yes, there is that. WV public schools are not known for their scholarly students though unfortunately. I have a feeling I will be teaching endlessly at home, perhaps moreso on account of this.
