Dirty diapers, and other Shitty situations...

Changes numbers two and three... I just figured I would group these together...

Kids.... (and no, none of this is a shitty situation, the tittle just sounds good).

Like A Ferrari going from 0-60 in 4 seconds, I went from 0-2 in 10 months...

Absolute culture shock.

I now have a 9 year old, and an infant. What has the world come to? Even though I wouldn't change it for the world, it is still a major learning curve. Compared to fatherhood, basic training was easy, I knew what to expect.

Now, I won't say that my life has been harder then the wife, because she takes the brunt of the no sleep cycle, but it still has affected me.

Lets start with the 9 year old, and i am learning, that they are all generally the same in todays world, she really is a decent kid, however, she gets lazy. She helps out a lot, but I am learning that childhood today is nothing like twenty-five years ago... and here is how:

1) We used to play outside. Now, kids really do nothing but play on their phones. Take said phone away, they have a computer... I seriously have to take away twenty things just to get her to read a book... Its insane... I used to think of it as a punishment when I couldn't go outside, but now, if they are told to stay in, its really not a problem.

2) Kids really do think they know it all.... I really do hope I wasn't like that when I was younger, and if I was, I apologize to my parent, because now-a-days, they know everything about everything.. I mean shit, who needs an encyclopedia when you have a 9 year old. Even when you prove them wrong, they are right... Go figure!

Now, the other child.... He sleeps when I am awake, screams and cries when I am asleep, pee's (a lot), Eats (a lot), and poops on occasion... Really the wife is a saint for putting up with all of that. She has been a trooper. The deal is, she stays home with the kids, while I work, so she tries to let me sleep at night, however, no one is perfect. He's going to be a great kid... Hopefully I don't screw him up.

Well thats all! have a great one!
