whats it like when you have a kid?

Say goodbye to privacy, solitude and sex.

A Valentine's Day Salute to Suburban Dads

is it great? or not so much?

You should wait until you've performed the hamster test
before like having kids. I mean, hamsters are like so much worse, and those
squeaky wheels like do go on your nerves like quite a bit. Very comparable to kids.

It is great. Although there are those moments....

The first three months are tough. You're always tired. Everything is new.

Then, just when you're getting comfortable and the baby's sleeping....

She start to crawl and is in to everything.

Then when you've gotten that figured out, she starts to walk.

And talk.

Then she figures out how to climb up on chairs to get to things.

Then she has to do everything herself.




It's an adventure, to be sure, but it sure is great.

my crotch hurt for a while

but all is fine now..

I've heard that owning a hamster or goldfish first gives you an excellent head start as a parent. I actually have about five goldfish in my tank. So I'm actually thinking about having five kids!

Of course I'll have my girlfriend spread out her pregnancies over the next couple of years.

I agree, but disagree, Gargamel. Because you can't leave your babies in the house when you go out places.

Which is why I carry my blow-up sheep everywhere, and for added practice, push it around in a baby carriage. Sure, I get funny looks and laughed at, but who will be laughing when I have a real baby, and it lives past 6 months because I didn't kill it from leaving it in the fish tank all day?
