Parenthood 14:23 - Nov 7 with 3483 viewsBigManBlue

Recently found out that I'm going to be someone's old man in about six month's time. When is it acceptable to start playing commentary of old Ipswich games at night? How the hell are you actually supposed to talk to kids - more like a pet, or more like an adult? Which curry do babies like best? Any tips for not going entirely mental? Cheers in advance!

Congratulations! Just a further step towards reaching that most felicitous state of being a grandparent.

Congrats

On the second question, when my dear wife was pregnant she relayed some madcap advice that parents should talk to the baby in the womb so they get used to your voice, and then looked rather confused when I started yelling ‘HELLO!’ at her stomach

Also ‘Oh David McGoldrick’ was a good one to rock an infant to sleep to, sadly now out of date. Die Delia die probably not quite as appropriate

Enjoy

Talk to kids!!??

I'd leave that until they are 14-16 years of age to be honest. Waste of time before then.

1. Immediately.
2. You don't talk to them at all until they leave boarding school at eighteen years of ago.
3. Chicken nappy masala.
4. If you're posting on here, you're already mental. But sleep as much as you can in the three months before the stork arrives.

Anyway congratulations. You'll soon have SmallManBlue, and proof that LittleFellaBlue is in working order.

I've had to make "kormas" and "butter chicken" for a while now, it ruins any attempt to have a proper curry at home completely. My advice is save curries for takeaways when you get the rare chance.

It seems shouting is bad. Roaring like you're in Monster Inc also causes tears for the first few months. You're also meant to use their name apparently.

Well done on your bits working, enjoy insomnia, feeling confused and your main purpose in life being as a walking cash machine and/or being shouted at.

Especially if you’ve, for someone reason, named your child Delia.

Congratulations buh.

Although commiserations on the end of your sex life, your freedom and regular sleeping patterns. On being awake at work or ever having a clean shirt ever again. You’ll be poorer, grumpier, scruffier and smellier (baby sic isn’t a good look). You’ll get fatter eating up all the leftovers, not having time to exercise and probably by being driven to drink. You can’t go out, go to nice restaurants or have such interesting holidays. You’ll get slacker at work, drop colleagues in the crap when you have to take last minute days off and somehow cover school holidays, and get overlooked for promotion.

There are a couple of days in the first 10 years when you remember it’s (possibly) all worth it though (unless it grows up to be a little sod, which is highly likely). Other than that it’s all good

Yes! I missed that off my list. Having to make ruddy Korma instead of something tasty. In hindsight reason enough for sterilisation alone.

Congratulations- the first three months are a nightmare in terms of sleep but it’ll gradually get better after that. Well that’s unless your baby is a rubbish sleeper.

My top tip is to do as much stuff now before the arrival date. By this I mean the cinema or meals out as you’ll won’t be doing too much of that for a fair bit.

Just talk to them like how you think to yourself - I talked to mine all the time in supermarkets- it gets odd looks but it’s all about speech development.

Congratulations once again.

Tips?

Sleep now, for as long and as deeply as you can, for it will no longer be your friend.

Enjoy your wife, in the biblical sense, for you will go from being the most important thing in her world (unless you have a dog) to being second, but on 2% of her focus.

Tuck money away. These little humans are expensive.

Enjoy the children, change your life to allow yourself to enjoy them as you will blink and they'll be much older.

Still a waste of time aged 14-16.
