>>61861848I was given very simple advice when it’s comes to being a dad. Hope it’s yours. Hope they are healthy. And importantly if they aren’t bleeding after any accident that happens they’re okay.As life would have it my son was born disabled. Don’t take anything for granted anon, this could be a lot worse.
>>61861848>but wife is stay at home and will be a great full time motherDon't be too upset when she decides she doesn't want to do that anymore and never wanted to in the first place. And don't lose yourself when she starts to hate you because you "took everything from her". And certainly don't beat yourself up too much when you find out to married an act that was designed to get your approval.When it happens, you'll notice that the signs were always there. You will see.This isn't a doom post, it's just the way of things.
>>61861848Don't get fired
>>61861881I'm so sorry to hear that anon, that must have been an absolute gut punch. I'm sure you're doing your best for him
>>61861881Thank you, god bless you and your son. He's lucky to have you.>>61861887Ouch. I've observed what youre describing, in a friends wife.

>>61861892Was making gains in the market while I watched my son grow. He’s 5 now. The first thing I did was get him a passport as a baby. Took him traveling, flew semi private jets, dressed him in nice clothes, spent time with him at the park, threw him a huge 1st birthday and the list goes on. I will not let his disability stop me from being a based Dad. I was fortunate to invest into the right stocks to afford this lifestyle. If I can do it, (a recovering alcoholic) you can do it. My next goal is to have him learn horse riding. Pic related - the day I sold the top and “made it.”

Hope to breed another one within those 3 years to keep getting my taxes back>>61861881Godspeed anon, hope you /makeit regardless
My daughter was born at the end of last year. It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me, truly. I’ll say this—get set up once the first trimester has passed. Get the nursery going, assemble the crib, buy all the stuff. If there’s anything time-consuming you've been putting off, get it done, because you won’t have a lot of time. If you want your kid to go to daycare, start looking into it because some of these places have waiting lists years out. I did all of my house projects leading up to it, and I’m glad I did. Just enjoy it and pray your wife doesn’t get as nauseous as mine did, holy shit.
>>61861848you can exchange a child for a lot of silver
>>61861848Holy fuck learn to write anonOther than that, congratulations and good luckGet ready for a lot of sleepless nights. Start getting ready on cheap, vegetables + rice or noodles dinners bothe for you and for your wife after she has the baby, focus all on its nourishmentFind a way to periodically defuse any tension due to work and lack of sleep. Otherwise you will gradually redirect it to your wife and kid and it will be bad.
>>61861863>>61861848>>61861979My first child's due date is literally today. Wife's about to burst any day/hour/minute here. I'm mentally so checked out at work it's stupid. Might suck on her tiddy to help speed things alongGood luck to my fellow dad-anons. And to the anons or wives of anons who are infertile, I'm sorry. I know how much of a struggle it can be>>61861848For some specific advice: 1. Consider where you're living, what you need in terms of space, and schools. Fortunately you only really have to worry about school around 5 years from now but nows the time to lock in on a plan2. If your wife is competent and can contribute make sure she's bringing in enough to pretty handily offset the cost of daycare, since it seems like you won't be able to lean on parents to help raise the child. If she's not making THAT much then daycare might not be the best choice but it all depends on what you guys want to do really. The only wrong answer is if your wife makes less than the cost of daycare and you send the child there anyways instead of keeping them both at home.3. Make your fucking baby registry ASAP and be kinda gay and overly friendly with both of your sets of parents. Suck up to them and let them pay for as much as possible, especially since they won't be helping you after the baby is born
>>61862018Congrats anon you’ve made it to Dadhood. I remember building the crib, man that was a bitch. I also remember being exhausted 24/7 and I wasn’t even the one breastfeeding in the middle of the night.
>>61861848You have testicular cancer you stupid faggot. Boys can’t get pregnant
Father of three sons, 8 years old, 4 years old and 1 year old.You will be more tired than you thought possible, and won't have time for your hobbies anymore. Come to peace with that and dont hold any resentment because what you get out of it is worth so much more.Be present, force yourself to be present even if you dont want to. Hug your kid lots. Be an encouraging and driving force in their life.I recently took my family for a mini holiday at a seaside town at a cottage with a huge paddock as a backyard. Out of everything we did, the most fun I had was playing catch with my eldest throwing long bombs and cheering him on when he caught them or did a great throw
>>61861848>>61861863>>61861979>>61862031>>61862114I hope all of you are white
>>61861848If you don't have enough money to send your kid to private school, enjoy the state indoctrinating your child with tranny propaganda.
I am 31 years old and I never even kissed a girl
>>61862075Thanks anon. I am tired a lot of the time but it has gotten better. She’s figured out how to sleep through the night most of the time, thankfully. Dadhood is based, wouldn’t trade it for anything.

>>61861941The greatest man to ever walk the planet Earth in history would be proud of you and would celebrate your unconditional love for your kid.And I am inspired by you too!
>>61861848Life-altering event. Prepare for zero privacy after the kid turns around 2 and has memories, meaning no sexytime while the kid is awake.Diapers are retarded expensive, but unavoidable.Formula is also retarded expensive and only got worse after COVID. Force your wife to breastfeed, for cost and for the health of the child. My first child only got colostrum and my wife wasn't consistent with pumping so she wasn't able to produce after the initial colostrum. Second child got breastmilk until she was 1yo. My second wore oversized clothes for her age and grew a lot faster than her older sibling. The health benefits of breastmilk are immeasurable and much cheaper. Your insurance should pay for a pump outright, along with equipment. We only had to supplement formula right at the end when my wife's supply dropped off.Also, do not vaccinate your children. Do not circumcise your children. Homeschool your children. Never let your wife work. If she worked before, she will consider working easier than being a stay at home mother, which it is. Sitting on your ass all day in an office is easier than tending to children, cleaning, and cooking all day. Never encourage her to work or even hint that you would allow it. Never belittle her work at home. It's easy work for a man, but it's still tiring for a woman. Keep her happy so she will commit to her real job as a mother. Do not neglect sexytime. It's necessary for a good marriage and relieves stress as well.If you have a cousin, other relative, or friend with an older child, see if you can take their unwanted clothes that no longer fit their child. That saved us loads as well.t. married 7 years, 2 kids and planning on 3rd
>>61862477Had to capitulate on the breastmilk due to back to back mastitis but spent the good $ on the least pozzed formula available. OP take heed to the No Vaxx. No Vaxx doesnt mean no vaxx but do the DPT. It doesnt mean no vaxx but do the Hep B upon birth. No vaxx means 0 injections no nothing. Also circumcision too dont do this. Unless if you're Jewish then please by all means.
>>61862414College is a scam and will be an even bigger scam by the time his child is grown, if college even exists by then. It was a scam 20 years ago. He should focus on passing on an inheritance, not college funding.
>>61862497>spent the good $ on the least pozzed formula availableI did the same for my first. Bought the most expensive, most organic non-GMO formula I could find. Our first stopped needing formula right when it became unobtanium after COVID, so we got lucky. I don't think they even make the same stuff we got, or they changed the name of it.
