Despite my disdain for most people, places and things I had a great time at Disney World. Galaxy’s Edge was worth the entire trip.

School holidays here and Jacob has been at his grandparents for a couple of days and nights, the house has never seemed quieter it’s a rather odd feeling

This bracelet is one of the few that makes a GAH seem inexpensive by comparison (even if you don't factor in the cost of the next 18 years)

Same applies for this bracelet

Ahh the duality of dad life.

One week im making 6 year olds dreams come true the next im the mortal enemy of a 12 year old for taking away her phone until her grades improve.. ...

@GraemeE I’m feeling this. It has become increasingly apparent that parenting teenagers is going to be hard

[tody]

@SKT @GraemeE somebody should have warned me about this...

[goosehd]

@tody They did in the sex ed classes many years ago...probably something about condoms.

[EdH]

@Oaktavia Congrats mate! How've the first 3 weeks been treating you?

[Oaktavia]

@EdH as described by the folks who knew best...lots of poopie dipers. Awake a lot when I would be asleep in my past life. Crying baby won't stop crying, etc. But he is so damn cute, makes the most adorable little noises, when he is asleep, he scrunches and stretches in ways that melt my heart. He smells like a little bebe and I love it. I have learned so much already. It has been nice being home from work as well.

@Oaktavia I’m so happy for you guys. I remember how exhausting it can be but man this time frame is truly the best. And I love how you put it “in my past life”…it really is a new life for you as well. I was lucky enough to get to be home with both my kids when they were babies and it was an amazing experience. Hoping you guys get rest when you can and all the adjustments are smooth. How does your pup like the new addition?

[Oaktavia]

@SKT thanks for the kind words man. I appreciate the connection and I love being a parent now, like all of you in this thread. I feel fulfilled with a new sense of purpose.

Rosie has been cautious because she can 100% sense my protective energy over Jacko. She only gets concerned and moves off the couch when he farts or shits himself loudly next to her. She is well trained and behaved, my wife and I made sure of this from when she was a puppy. I am looking forward to my dog and my son becoming companions in the not so distant future.

[SKT]

@Oaktavia ha! I’d move off the couch too. They’ll be buddies in no time and will be fun to watch. Just wait until he starts crawling…
