Go to the store for Hagen Das anytime (and I mean anytime) she asks. Don't tell her it's not supposed to hurt that much during her first phase of labor, cause the labor coach said so. That will result in a 5 a.m. call to the labor coach so that you can be informed that it does indeed hurt that much in the first phase of labor, depending on the situation. Don't stop for camera batteries at the 7-11 on your way to the hospital when your wife is in agony, "this will only take a minute hon" SAY WHAT?????? When your friend comes to visit you and your wife in the hospital the next day, do not say, within earshot of your exhausted wife, "I have never been so tired in my whole life." Do not, and I mean do not, go to Las Vegas for a guys weekend 2 weeks after your baby is born. YOU WILL NEVER LIVE IT DOWN, AND I MEAN NEVER. Yep, We're still married, 25 yrs. And yep, he's the best father two daughters could want. Congrats!

A new genius. Ah ha! If you want to raise a child so they can contend with linear symbol recognition, be literate and solve problems, don't let them see any TV until they are 16. Otherwise they will have their synapses reorganized along the lines of ADD. This is in fact a scientific finding. Treat jr. as a friend and not as chip, and you will get more co-operation. You will need to get co-operation from a child in order to raise them effectively. Although they should inherit most of their parents traits, some may be postman. Learn to live with the differences. From 0-5 they tell their parents exactly what they need at all times. Toss the child rearing books. You will find your parents advice now fairly astute. They also remember your idiosyncracies very well. You will also find, or others will notice that 95% of the child's behaviour mimics its parents. This is due to genetics not copying. The would have to be Mynah birds with commensurate physical mirror image imitation skills to get it that right otherwise. Given that they appear to want to think for themselves this is unlikely. After they get back from the grandparents it takes 3 days to break them of the bad habits they picked up. On the other hand you don't need to check out the babysitters with a detective agency. If you do, then you really came from the wrong side of the tracks. Any trouble they can get into, they will get into. Hire a security force to monitor their every move for the first 18 years. If you can't afford that, then you are it. The most important thing in this duty is learning to relax. When it is really tough taking it easy, drink heavily. You can always go into rehab after they graduate. Let he/she pick their own university. They will start do do that from an early age. "Ah bah, a bah, goo, goo, a bah, skkkkzxx", with a patty cake and a left drool, means "Harvard". You can teach a child to be anti-social by encouraging them to ask questions of everyone, and to question all commonly held assumptions. There is a trade off between an independent mind and being popular with a clique. If you can get them to this level you can teach them that all important difference. To question all but not express it, and to be able to manipulate society to give them what they appear to want will give him the best chance to succeed and think for himself at the same time. Then you must train he/she to avoid all jobs that require these combination of skills, i.e. military, politics, government, etc.. Children's psychological problems are far more deeply felt than yours. You would think they had no worries at all. With far less responsibility they worry far more than you. Time for the extremely young is an age where to you it is a second. Three days for a child is an eternity. That is why the backseat drivers are always asking, "Are we there yet?" Don't teach them about sex when they get to that age. (It's 9 now btw.) Let them tell you. By that time you will have forgotten what it's like. EC<:-}

Congratulations Boolish, remember to tell her she's still beautiful with a big tummy, lets see what else, got to rub her feet and back when she needs it, my wife didn't have any weird food cravings, yours might, don't say the wrong thing, being pregnant is worse than when they are on their period imo. You'll have to go to the delivery room and help out, more rubbing and moral support mostly, my first was a natural birth just needed a suction cup on her little head to help pull her out after 11 hours in labour, the second was tougher 16 hours in labour then they gave my wife a cesarean which I watched, not for the faint of heart, my second daughter was just a little bigger than the first, both are the joy of my life today, I see if that stands when they reach their teen years :)))
