Congrats, I have a 13 month old and another on the way in March. My little dude is hilarious and keeps me laughing non-stop. He says "brrrrrm brrrrrm" whenever he sees cars, which fills me with joy. And, there is literally nothing better in the world than a hug or a kiss from your kid after a bad day, or hell, on any kind of day.

It definitely is work sometimes. The funny part is that we were barely "active" last month. (I think we did it twice) and for some reason BAM it worked.

We had tried everything else previously. everyday,every second day,every third day,once a week. and nothing worked

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Pros

You get to have a Legacy (no, the other one)

Upfront costs are nothing but time and energy

Payoff is immediate

Maintenance gets cheaper over time; eventually kids become self sufficient

Someone to take care of you when you get old

Cons

Kids are the consequence and not the cause of getting laid

The cars you'll need to get to take care of your expanding family will be universally lame

During the first 1-5 years your life is basically over

Might grow up to be the next hitler. Don't laugh, it could happen...

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Pros

Getting laid is way easier...

...But if you don't want to get laid, the noise at top RPM will probably cause you to orgasm anyway

You get to be a Porsche owner. They are gods among mortals, according to other Porsche owners

You can park at the ski resort in Aspen without being asked to move your car

Everywhere you drive is more fun

Cons

Your financial life is basically over

Law enforcement will be around every corner to kill your buzz

The people you lay will be doing it for the money and won't actually care about you

The people who do love you for you will ask you to choose them or the car (jealousy is a cruel mistress, bro)

Payoff comes after 18 years of saving up, during which time you'll only be able to afford a used Legacy (yes, that one)

sums it up pretty good. All but the boring car thing. I have no intentions of getting a minivan for one kid. My brother and I got around just fine in the back of a 1988 VW Jetta.

He/she will have to do the same thing I did and save up and buy their first car if they want to drive. My first car was a $400 Chevette. Ain't no way they are driving my car, they can drive mom's car if they have too. I remember what I was like as a teen after watching fast & furious and it's not gonna happen. I'm suprised I never killed myself to be honest.

Congratulations, 2 years eh, practice makes perfect.

One free tip; After the first ten spoiled nappies, diapers, crap sacks, etc It gets easier to deal with. Even though a face mask with Carbon filters will eliminate the stench don't use one, small children don't find them appealing, especially if you wear Mickey Mouse ears.

All the best, enjoy parenthood. The time passes very fast from now on.

If you tried for that long, you can probably relate to this story. My wife and I had a miscarriage with our first attempt, and were having trouble conceiving on the second try. Shots, calendars, sperm counts, the whole thing. She would get the shot, and then we had a certain window of time to get busy, as often as possible. Let me tell you, 6:00 am was a lot easier when I was 20 than when I was 34. But those times you're also on the clock, on the calendar, under pressure. It never worked. Then one night, one of our cats got out of the apartment and went missing. We searched and searched. And that was supposed to be THE night that we needed to, er, do it. But we didn't. We figured we had missed our window once again. But we gave it a go the next day anyway, and that was the time we conceived. When the pressure was off. And, we found the cat.

So, congratulations! Enjoy the ride. And don't wait too long for the next one. We wanted to have two kids, and instead we got two more. Yup, twins. Now we have three boys. And they're kicking our ass. All I can say is that every day is a new challenge, and it never really gets easier. It just gets different.

Bonne chance! Or perhaps, bon courage!

Like mentioned before, it's the best thing and terrifying at the same time.

Trust me the next 2 years will suck. But once it's a toddler and playing with toy cars it's not so bad.

I look at my kids in amazement sometimes.

You should get you a shirt like this for the big day.

Sincere congratulations! Up at 0115 to ensure my 2 year old sleeps through the latest cough/cold/whatever this winter without waking my wife, the almighty "Mommy". We waited 'til the doorstep of 40 to have one, and only one, for many good reasons. It was a great decision. I hope you have all the joy you both rightfully expect, and more. I hope it all goes without complication. I hope you lay in a good stock of coffee, and perhaps adult beverages. I hope you smartly ignore the copious bad advice of others. I hope fortune smiles on you, your family, and friends.

The "trying" ain't so bad itself... Very happy for you two! Keep in mind that your wife will be, quite literally, out of her mind at times in the next year or so, so be patient and caring, and go buy her whatever the hell she wants at 2:00 in the morning.

Every once in a while, I give my wife a "day of rest". I tell her the night before that the kids are all mine that night and the next morning, and she can stay in bed in our room as long as she wants. Keep this one in your back pocket and pull it out from time to time. Trust me, she will be very grateful.

Here's our crew (in the back of Daddy's Rocket Sled):

Nice! We did the same thing sperm counts and the works and your right, now at 30 years old if she tried to wake me up in the middle of the night for some action I would probably punch her.

"oh you want some action? let me pencil you in. my next available time is tomorrow at 8pm does that work for you?"

good advice tho I appreciate it.

luckily I drink hard liquor so I find it quite affordable. I'm good for weeks for $25 bucks. I'm turning 30 in 3 weeks and my wife is 32. I did not want to wait much longer, I already barely have any energy I can't imagine I would have more in 10 years.

I hear you on the bad advice part. Just trying to make the baby was filled with weird bad advice. "No I will not eat a raw Sea Urchin if I want to get pregnant" WTF?

Beater Porsche converted to race car is better anyways. The GT3 Cup Car would be terrible. You know why?

Because it would be embarrassing to take it to the track and get beat by a better driver in a lesser car. But if you have beater race car then it's never your skills that's the issue, it's the shitty car.
