Great post. Looks like Lincoln is bridging the gap between you and your dad. Hey, whatever it takes.
Is he going to live in a separate home where he won’t hear/see any of this?For the last 18 months or so I have tried to get my husband to have a 2nd child. He turns 40 next year and refuses (he had a vasectomy). I have even offered to wake up with the child every night, take care of all diapers, spit up and laundry. It is not working.
How old are you if you don't mind me asking? And if he is that adamant about not having another child, don't do it. He will resent you for it.For the last 18 months or so I have tried to get my husband to have a 2nd child. He turns 40 next year and refuses (he had a vasectomy).

I will be 38 later this year. I doubt we do it, but I have brought it up several times over the last 18 months.How old are you if you don't mind me asking? And if he is that adamant about not having another child, don't do it. He will resent you for it.
Other than the kid waking up in the night I don't see the a problem, but he sleeps like a rock and never really woke up with our 1st child until I asked him, and I would hope the 2nd would be as good as the 1st. She slept through the night at an early age and is a very good sleeper now.Is he going to live in a separate home where he won’t hear/see any of this?
I turned 40 this year and my wife is 38. We have a soon-to-be 4 year old and a 2 year old. I'm also adamant that I do not want anymore kids but she'll bring it up on occasion. I think she's about 50/50 and a lot of it changes day-to-day (primarily based on how much stress the kids are causing her on a given day). I like life right now. It's easy. I have no interest in adding anymore complications. As IE said - don't push the issue too much if he's serious about not wanting another kid.I will be 38 later this year. I doubt we do it, but I have brought it up several times over the last 18 months.
Yep, that’s look I get when I tell people. Wife says she’s still not done. She says one more, but I’ve been hearing that for the past decade.Seventh!?!??!![]()
This him?For the last 18 months or so I have tried to get my husband to have a 2nd child. He turns 40 next year and refuses (he had a vasectomy). I have even offered to wake up with the child every night, take care of all diapers, spit up and laundry. It is not working.
Financially it makes more sense to have kids later. Take my family for example. We could afford another kid or 2 and our life style wouldn't change other than how much free time we have. My sister in-law started having kids at 23 and they always need money. We also make about the same amount of money a year.Why are you guys having children at such old ages?
So sorry general, I can only imagine. When I'm feeling down about my life, I'm going to come back and read this post to keep things in perspective. Hang in there.We are now potty training twin boys. Every time I think I'm at the bottom of my life, I realize another nadir I didn't think possible. In the last 3 days alone, I've fished out 7 washcloths, 3 toys and 2 half full rolls of TP out of toilets. I've been urinated on more than a Japanese porn starlette. I've cleaned smeared feces out of nooks and crannies that I never imagined would contain smeared feces. And the worse part about all of this is that they don't take me seriously. They think I'm being funny when I'm mad, like we all do when we get Angry Shuke. I'm 45 and my life is a flaming pile of doodoo fire. It's taken its toll on me physically. I look horrible. I've aged 10 years in 3. I have the sex drive of eunuch which is great because I am completely and utterly untappable. Sometimes I get chest pains and I think "good, let's get this over with". The highlight of my day is drifting off to sleep on the couch. I should probably post this in the depression thread but really, who cares. It's all the same.
Happy Father's Day? I think not....

Yeah, but then he cleans it out of the nooks and crannies and, wa-la, he's pale as can be again.Wow, that is dark.

Christ After reading that, sounds you want and need another one. Two can't be that hard, right?New post
New blog about days like today where I am off and my wife is working, so I get the Lincoln shift. It is EXHAUSTING.
So uhhhhh she actually brought that up this morning.After reading that, sounds you want and need another one. Two can't be that hard, right?

I am generally mired in cynicism and nihilism in family life (and all life I guess), but this is a good point:
Yea we left sometime late in the second quarter. I felt so bad for him. Worst was we were there with friends at their first FSU game and having a good time (despite the loss) but we all knew it was a possibility going in.I am generally mired in cynicism and nihilism in family life (and all life I guess), but this is a good point:
I’ve spent most of my adult life stressing over whether FSU wins or not, but this time I just wanted to get him out of that situation. The game wasn’t even a factor. He’s definitely changing me in little ways.
We have about 5 years between each of our three. I don't know how I'd do two toddlers at once. That seems like a ticket to the loony bin.Also since he turned 1 the wife is seriously on some second kid ####.
It happens. I’ve got three boys now, but the youngest is 11. I don’t get tugs on the leg with poopy diapers anymore, which is really nice. I just get punched and tackled since my two youngest play football and wrestle. I can still take them, but my 14 year old worries me, seems like he grows daily and isn’t that much smaller than me, he might be 5’9-5’10 next year and somewhere around 180 pounds. I’m in my late 40s so I’m legitimately worried that they’ll be doing a lot more weights in high school next year and he will be able to kick my butt. I’m 5’10” and 200+ pounds. Strong but not in great shape anymore.Also since he turned 1 the wife is seriously on some second kid ####.
We have 3 years between ours. It works well. The oldest was in 1st grade when the youngest was born so the spacing made it nice.We have about 5 years between each of our three. I don't know how I'd do two toddlers at once. That seems like a ticket to the loony bin.

How did you surviveMine are 10, 12, 15, 17. Man sleep is glorious now.
It may be rough for the first year but it pays off in the long run. Having kids close in age is very underrated. I can’t tell you how much it’s worth to relax while your kids are in another room entertaining each other.The Commish said:We have about 5 years between each of our three.

Hmm that’s a good point lolMy oldest has been babysitting since he was 5![]()
Congrats. 1 is a great age because they can’t talk yet! Appreciate this time. My kids are 4 and 2 and now I have a permanent ignore function on (although it’s easier to manage in here than in real life).Capella said:Kid turned one the other day. We did it. So that’s a wrap right?
He’s currently tugging at my leg as I try to finish spider man and I’m pretty sure he has a poop diaper and mommy is nowhere to be found.![]()
Wonderful wife and good support system mostly. I think we were also lucky and a little good at parenting little ones. At those young ages its all about being there and giving them the attention and love they need to flourish. I'm sure you and your wife are doing awesome.Capella said:How did you survive
Well, father’s days are merely symbolic of how another year has gone by and
how little we've grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better
self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake, we know it's not
to be, that for the rest of our sad, wretched pathetic lives, this is who we are
to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably; happy father’s day? No such thing.
I keep waiting for them to take me away, heee hee, ha ha......The Commish said:We have about 5 years between each of our three. I don't know how I'd do two toddlers at once. That seems like a ticket to the loony bin.
Mine are two years apart, and they are already best friends even though they are still very young. But, both of them were and remain terrible sleepers, so it’s been a long and difficult process. I’d very much like to fast forward a couple years so I can finally get some sleep and exercise again.It may be rough for the first year but it pays off in the long run.

Lol. Liked the post and I agree wholeheartedly. I still don’t have a Facebook page. I’m busy enough already. I’m just glad we travel with my boys and they’ve got plenty of sports and friends to hang out with because I do agree that there are some people where social media is their life and reality. Sad and very divisive. It’s way easier to argue and fight online and way easier to have a civil discourse in person.
