1,001	daddit	44 for my son and 47 for my daughter. Don't worry too much. Now you get to do all the things and have your best buddy to do it with you.
1,002	daddit	42 here. Nope. Just means you've likely got yourself in a better financial position.
1,003	daddit	[removed]
1,004	daddit	Thank you! It's been amazing. This child has wrecked me emotionally (good way).
1,005	daddit	> Getting pregnant isn't as easy as they led us to believe in school. For some. My wife had one tube and we tried twice and got two kids. Second one came out c-section and she opted to have her tubes removed, which is when we found out she only had one to begin with. Some people just get pregnant super easy.
1,006	daddit	Can confirm. Sterile male here. I've had four sperm extraction surgeries and one biological baby. There's a few of us that share beers and tears at r/maleinfertility.
1,007	daddit	That's cool. My fiancee is 37 and we're hoping to have a baby.
1,008	daddit	Uh... that was part of it. We were swingers and she kept screwing guys behind my back instead of being honest. She would lie straight to my face about the littlest things. I figured I should probably cut and run and find somebody better. Two weeks after I moved out she was pregnant with her new boyfriend. She psychologically abused me and told me that I was worthless and nobody wanted me and I believed it. Boy was I surprised when I became a single young man and all these good-looking successful professional women wanted to date me.
1,009	daddit	Im not a good person. Congrats.
1,010	daddit	[deleted]
1,011	daddit	12 years of trying and there are kids who need loving families ... doesn't there seem like a more simple solution here? Is it all about passing on genes? Because I can assure anyone here, their genes aren't some gift from god.
1,012	daddit	[deleted]
1,013	daddit	Ignore that troll. I could've written what you just posted. It took us 5 cycles to get a pregnancy that stuck. Our daughter is due in February. On the upside, once you get used to what the IVF drugs do for her mood, pregnancy mood swings won't be foreign.
1,014	daddit	[deleted]
1,015	daddit	Same with my son. Put him down at 6pm. Wakes up at 3am, bottle, bed again and then wakes up at 5am. Sometimes he won't go back to bed so have to be up from 3am. Naps again at 6 am and 12pm. Just turned one.
1,016	daddit	My son, two years wakes up 1-3 a night, sometimes more. Where are thou sleep!!
1,017	daddit	Our girl is 2 and we gave up getting up and going to her room 3-4 times a night and just have her sleep in our bed :(
1,018	daddit	Depends on the kid. At 2 months my son started sleeping from 6pm and we would wake him up at 10pm change him, give him a bottle, and put him back down. He Wouldnt wake up until 8am the next day and I would change him, feed him, and put him back down. He wouldn't wake up till 10am. He's 14 months now and sleeps from 8pm-8am.
1,019	daddit	Every time I see comments like these I feel a bit guilty. My 5 month old sleeps 10 hours every night and has for a little over a month now. Every once in a while he has a bad night mostly due to teething but my fiancée and I realize how lucky we got with him.
1,020	daddit	He's not. He's furiously masturbating to himself as he acts out his mind's image of an SJW. This is a person who [struggles with his masculinity](https://www.reddit.com/r/milliondollarextreme/comments/4n231e/mgmt_mac_demarco/d40d2n5/?context=3). The [seed](https://www.reddit.com/r/teenagers/comments/1r0b17/i_left_this_note_in_a_girls_locket_she_said/cdich5i/?context=3) was already there 3 years ago. He is apparently [19-20](https://www.reddit.com/r/socialskills/comments/1wra0c/friends_dont_respond_to_texts_or_calls/cf4sras/?context=3). The most normal hobby he has is [bowling](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/22gqby/iama_professional_bowler_ranked_1_in_the_world_i/cgmnzzm/?context=3). He also likes Bob Dylan. [He was also apparently hurt by a close friend, who befriended and invited a "former" bully into their circle of friends. Once that happened, JollyChimp apparently became, once again, the butt of jokes.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1i7qot/what_is_the_shittiest_thing_a_friend_has_ever/cb1vhdo/?context=3) [Middle school was not a good time for him](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2b8lb9/as_a_middle_school_counselor_i_want_to_know_what/cj2u2g0/?context=3) -- he undoubtedly shares this experience with a lot of the people he hangs out with nowadays. So there is a human behind there, it seems. But over the course of just a few years, bitterness has apparently consumed him.

1,021	daddit	Wondering the same thing. Maybe that little boy in Kindergarten Cop had it wrong?
1,022	daddit	> gripe water Is that code for "vodka?"
1,023	daddit	Yeah the gripe water calmed her down, but if you put her down shed start howling again. So my sister and BIL basically forced me to move in with them part time. Due to the not sleeping thing. She would pass out from like 4-6pm, which was atrocious. Walked in one day to my sister passed out with a hand in the rock and play.
1,024	daddit	Gripe water was a godsend to us
1,025	daddit	Lucky. We tried gripe but nothing helped my little one's gas issues.
1,026	daddit	Hoping my son keeps up his great sleeping habits. He will be 4 months next week. He sleeps through the night and has for the last 2 months or so. Doesnt nap a lot during the day but I will take that over sleepless nights
1,027	daddit	My son is almost 4mo... Fuuuuuuuuuuhhhh
1,028	daddit	[deleted]
1,029	daddit	But no one to pass those better finances on to when it's your time to go.
1,030	daddit	I don't know how long you have been with your GF but the only thing you can do for both your happiness is break up. At some point one of you will have to cave and then live with the misery of that decision for the rest of your lives. I'm lucky that my fiancé and I both don't want kids but if he did then as much as I love him I would have to leave because it's not fair to ask someone to live their life without something they really want. Also be careful she doesn't 'accidentally' get pregnant lol
1,031	daddit	No matter the lost sleep, the stress and feeling of helplessness when going through sickness, the poo, pee, vomit, and snot... the smile and laughter of your child makes you forget it all in an instant. There is nothing in life that brings me more joy than a hug from my daughter. I wouldn't trade it for all the sleep-ins in the world.
1,032	daddit	Not everyone wants the same things in life. It shouldn't be that confusing for you that some people want things that you don't.
1,033	daddit	Maybe your brain isn't wired for it, maybe it isn't wired for it YET.
1,034	daddit	Cool
1,035	daddit	Totally agree. My comment was a little tongue in cheek. Based on what we were told in school I thought we would have gotten pregnant as soon as we started trying. No luck yet. It often takes 6-12 months to get pregnant when you start trying. Obviously it varies.
1,036	daddit	We were taking the minimal effort possible to not have kids before we were married. That went out the window after we were. We weren't even married 3 months before we found out she was 6 weeks pregnant.
1,037	daddit	That makes a lot more sense. Glad you're doing better now man.
1,038	daddit	What on earth does your desire for a eugenics programme have to do with anything?
1,039	daddit	What should we do with you, fucktard?
1,040	daddit	Some people want to try for their own. If that fails to work, adoption would be our next option.
1,041	daddit	I've seen some of that already with some of the ovulation meds we tried. Congrats on it working for you!
1,042	daddit	That's amazing, your son resurrecting himself.
1,043	daddit	Have you tried putting him down later than 6?
1,044	daddit	Wow, my daughter sleeps from 8pm to 6am every night. 10 mos
1,045	daddit	Protip: Put him down at 8-10pm and he'll sleep until 5 to 7.
1,046	daddit	[deleted]
1,047	daddit	(Mum here) We did a similar routine with our girl and from 4 months she's slept from 6pm till 6am. Her dad gives her a bottle at 6:30am before he heads to work and then she will go back to sleep till 10am. Sometimes I feel like I never see the kid but she clearly needs the sleep. Shes 11 months old now and still in that same sleep routine. It's hard cause we're trying to incorporate her into family meal times (dinner is at 7 so the 4 year old can have dinner,bath bed.) now that she's getting older and eating more people foods, but she's always asleep and it's not worth waking her or she gets really cranky.
1,048	daddit	We did sleep training with our daughter, coaxing her to to self settle and she was sleeping through the night by 4 months, (with a quick dream feed and change at 10)
1,049	daddit	Awesome. Using this
1,050	daddit	What?! Our 3 month old is 2-3 hours max and eats double of his suggested amount so it takes an hour for him to eat usually.
1,051	daddit	Me too, my son just turned 3 months a few days ago and he's been mostly sleeping solid through the night. It helps that my wife and I don't hit the bed until around midnight and give him a big bottle of warm formula at around 11:30. Sometimes it's difficult to get him to go down for a nap, but he's been REALLY great about sleeping at night and I'm hoping that keeps up (knock on wood).
1,052	daddit	Hopefully you'll get lucky, I've heard lots of parents say their kid never had a problem. If it does hit, just know it'll pass and you really won't even remember it because your brain buries traumatic events to protect you :-)
1,053	daddit	Best advice we got was not to think of it as a regression they'll work themselves through, but a growth period that requires re-sleep-training.
1,054	daddit	Get ready....
1,055	daddit	Man, wish that worked for us. Tried for 2 weeks but she was terrible, woke up constantly and there'd be a tiny foot kicking our face.
1,056	daddit	We did this out of desperation. Thinking of transitioning back to her own bed now she's two though.
1,057	daddit	He has a few years left to try. It's not over. Men have babies up until their 80s
1,058	daddit	4 Years, you're right. We've discussed it plenty. It's a simple fact that we're not compatible in the long term because of this.
1,059	daddit	^ this
1,060	daddit	Indeed. I've got friends that have tried for years too, and I feel bad because it was so easy for us. On the other hand, they have a lot more money and free time than we do. So there's that.
1,061	daddit	lol! This could have been a little too edgy.
1,062	daddit	We have tried. The problem is that he takes only 2, 45 minute naps during the day. So by 5pm he is out.
1,063	daddit	Yeah, no kidding. They need to gradually shift bedtime a little later.
1,064	daddit	Won't lie. I do enjoy my free evenings as well.
1,065	daddit	Honestly I take it for granted. When I wake up at 8 I'm like noooo why can't you sleep one more hour!
1,066	daddit	What I love about my son is I can wake him up whenever and he will be happy as a clam. I told my husband I'm scared to have another one because i doubt we will get this lucky again.
1,067	daddit	Can we swap? Ours is two and we gave up 3-4 trips to her room at night and just brought her into bed with us.
1,068	daddit	Be careful using gripe water. A friend of mine used it on her first kid and she was fine, but she used it on her second kid and he stopped breathing and was rushed to the ER.
1,069	daddit	We started him in his own bed at 3 months and he sleeps from about 8pm to 5am or so. Then wakes up eats and goes back down for an hour or two
1,070	daddit	Good advice. I'll try to remember that!
1,071	daddit	There aren't too many 30-year-old ladies having babies with 80-year-olds
1,072	daddit	Can confirm. My soon-to-be-ex-husband was 63 when I gave birth to his first child. Things didn't work out between us but I'm happy to have given him a beautiful gift that means the world to him.
1,073	daddit	Ew lol
1,074	daddit	Lmao that is a silver lining.
1,075	daddit	2 naps is a lot. My son just takes one nap a day. Maybe try waking him up after he goes to bed like an hour later and see how long he stays up then put him down again.
1,076	daddit	2 naps that long seems a lot to me. Our girl usually has one or no naps and sleep 12 hours (with wake-ups, it's not usually an easy night mind).
1,077	daddit	Same, we're spoiled.
1,078	daddit	I was worried our second would be the devil because our first was just a placid baby and surely we would t get lucky twice. Nothing bothered him and he slept and ate fine from day one. Didn't make a noise when teething or anything. Our second is different but just as lovely. Luckily she sleeps as good as her brother! She's a bit grizzly from teething but still nothing compared to other horror stories. Still sleeps all night too. I don't mind that I can't wake her up, I prefer to stay at home anyway and if she needs her sleep I'm gonna let her have it. Safe to say hubby is getting the snip cause I'm not testing fate with a third baby.
1,079	daddit	Yeah I'm keen for a challenge :) as horrible as is it now you will appreciate it. I'm a stay at home mum and I feel like I never see them cause they're always asleep.
1,080	daddit	Depends on how rich the 80 year old is./s
1,081	daddit	I guess we have to remember that every baby is different.
1,082	daddit	The only reason I'm willing to have another one is because I want him to have a sibling. I have two brothers and a sister and we are all so close. The only reason I want just one more is because I had the worst pregnancy, birth recovery, and battled with PPD. I told my husband that once we have the second he is getting snipped and I'm getting my tubes tied. Way too many stories about people getting pregnant after one of them has been fixed and definitely don't want to risk it!
1,083	daddit	Better financial position.
1,084	daddit	I battled with PPD with my first so I understand your concerns. Luckily I didn't with the second but at least we knew what signs to look for the second time round.
1,085	daddit	Work smarter, not harder.
1,086	daddit	Future programmer.
1,087	daddit	How funny! That little guy is going places! My parents actually got our son the exact same toy. Given, my son is only 8 months so he just enjoys taking the blocks out and putting them in his mouth.
1,088	daddit	Hahaha, I'm literally sitting here on my couch watching my son do the exact same thing (same age too). I put the lid on, he looked at me and said no! Then threw it to the side.
1,089	daddit	Now we wait for the CNN headline about how one baby HACKED Fischer Price.
1,090	daddit	this is why encryption is important. wake up sheeple.
1,091	daddit	"yes, look at this! look mom & dad at your...... stupid fucking present.. the top comes right off. you think i'm dumb??"
1,092	daddit	My 3 year old carries the bucket around without the lid and offers the pieces to people as "candy". He's still obsessed with Halloween. He now likes to pretend he's a "Robot Vampire" and makes his voice monotone to tell you. XD
1,093	daddit	This is exactly what my son does during bath time My son is 26. Please send help.
1,094	daddit	What a great age! My son is 16 months and anytime he does anything like this I am convinced he is destined to be the next Bill Gates.
1,095	daddit	Fuck yeah, bud.
1,096	daddit	[deleted]
1,097	daddit	Too bad Dad still doesn't know how to record horizontally... kid is doomed.
1,098	daddit	Attaboy!

We did sleep training with our daughter, coaxing her to to self settle and she was sleeping through the night by 4 months, (with a quick dream feed and change at 10)

Awesome. Using this

1,050

daddit

What?! Our 3 month old is 2-3 hours max and eats double of his suggested amount so it takes an hour for him to eat usually.

1,051

daddit

Me too, my son just turned 3 months a few days ago and he's been mostly sleeping solid through the night. It helps that my wife and I don't hit the bed until around midnight and give him a big bottle of warm formula at around 11:30. Sometimes it's difficult to get him to go down for a nap, but he's been REALLY great about sleeping at night and I'm hoping that keeps up (knock on wood).

daddit

Hopefully you'll get lucky, I've heard lots of parents say their kid never had a problem. If it does hit, just know it'll pass and you really won't even remember it because your brain buries traumatic events to protect you :-)

daddit

Best advice we got was not to think of it as a regression they'll work themselves through, but a growth period that requires re-sleep-training.

1,054

daddit

Get ready....

1,055

daddit

Man, wish that worked for us. Tried for 2 weeks but she was terrible, woke up constantly and there'd be a tiny foot kicking our face.

1,056

daddit

We did this out of desperation. Thinking of transitioning back to her own bed now she's two though.

1,057

daddit

He has a few years left to try. It's not over. Men have babies up until their 80s

1,058

daddit

4 Years, you're right. We've discussed it plenty. It's a simple fact that we're not compatible in the long term because of this.

1,059

daddit

^ this

1,060

daddit

Indeed. I've got friends that have tried for years too, and I feel bad because it was so easy for us. On the other hand, they have a lot more money and free time than we do. So there's that.

1,061

daddit

lol! This could have been a little too edgy.

1,062

daddit

We have tried. The problem is that he takes only 2, 45 minute naps during the day. So by 5pm he is out.

1,063

daddit

Yeah, no kidding. They need to gradually shift bedtime a little later.

1,064

daddit

Won't lie. I do enjoy my free evenings as well.

1,065

daddit

Honestly I take it for granted. When I wake up at 8 I'm like noooo why can't you sleep one more hour!

1,066

daddit

What I love about my son is I can wake him up whenever and he will be happy as a clam. I told my husband I'm scared to have another one because i doubt we will get this lucky again.

1,067

daddit

Can we swap? Ours is two and we gave up 3-4 trips to her room at night and just brought her into bed with us.

1,068

daddit

Be careful using gripe water. A friend of mine used it on her first kid and she was fine, but she used it on her second kid and he stopped breathing and was rushed to the ER.

1,069

daddit

We started him in his own bed at 3 months and he sleeps from about 8pm to 5am or so. Then wakes up eats and goes back down for an hour or two

1,070

daddit

Good advice. I'll try to remember that!

1,071

daddit

There aren't too many 30-year-old ladies having babies with 80-year-olds

1,072

daddit

Can confirm. My soon-to-be-ex-husband was 63 when I gave birth to his first child. Things didn't work out between us but I'm happy to have given him a beautiful gift that means the world to him.

1,073

daddit

Ew lol

1,074

daddit

Lmao that is a silver lining.

1,075

daddit

2 naps is a lot. My son just takes one nap a day. Maybe try waking him up after he goes to bed like an hour later and see how long he stays up then put him down again.

1,076

daddit

2 naps that long seems a lot to me. Our girl usually has one or no naps and sleep 12 hours (with wake-ups, it's not usually an easy night mind).

1,077

daddit

Same, we're spoiled.

1,078

daddit

I was worried our second would be the devil because our first was just a placid baby and surely we would t get lucky twice. Nothing bothered him and he slept and ate fine from day one. Didn't make a noise when teething or anything. Our second is different but just as lovely. Luckily she sleeps as good as her brother! She's a bit grizzly from teething but still nothing compared to other horror stories. Still sleeps all night too. I don't mind that I can't wake her up, I prefer to stay at home anyway and if she needs her sleep I'm gonna let her have it. Safe to say hubby is getting the snip cause I'm not testing fate with a third baby.

1,079

daddit

Yeah I'm keen for a challenge :) as horrible as is it now you will appreciate it. I'm a stay at home mum and I feel like I never see them cause they're always asleep.

1,080

daddit

Depends on how rich the 80 year old is./s

1,081

daddit

I guess we have to remember that every baby is different.

1,082

daddit

The only reason I'm willing to have another one is because I want him to have a sibling. I have two brothers and a sister and we are all so close. The only reason I want just one more is because I had the worst pregnancy, birth recovery, and battled with PPD. I told my husband that once we have the second he is getting snipped and I'm getting my tubes tied. Way too many stories about people getting pregnant after one of them has been fixed and definitely don't want to risk it!

1,083

daddit

Better financial position.

1,084

daddit

I battled with PPD with my first so I understand your concerns. Luckily I didn't with the second but at least we knew what signs to look for the second time round.

Work smarter, not harder.

How funny! That little guy is going places! My parents actually got our son the exact same toy. Given, my son is only 8 months so he just enjoys taking the blocks out and putting them in his mouth.

1,088

daddit

Hahaha, I'm literally sitting here on my couch watching my son do the exact same thing (same age too). I put the lid on, he looked at me and said no! Then threw it to the side.

1,089

daddit

Now we wait for the CNN headline about how one baby HACKED Fischer Price.

*this* is why encryption is important. wake up sheeple.

"yes, look at this! look mom & dad at your...... stupid fucking present.. the top comes right off. you think i'm dumb??"

1,092

daddit

My 3 year old carries the bucket around without the lid and offers the pieces to people as "candy". He's still obsessed with Halloween. He now likes to pretend he's a "Robot Vampire" and makes his voice monotone to tell you. XD

1,093

daddit

This is exactly what my son does during bath time My son is 26. Please send help.

1,094

daddit

What a great age! My son is 16 months and anytime he does anything like this I am convinced he is destined to be the next Bill Gates.

1,095

daddit

Fuck yeah, bud.
