Everyone got babies now, no time for posting

Ain't that the truth!

I have two myself - 2yo boy and 4yo boy!!!

Fun times.

Everyone got babies now, no time for posting

Sorry all, got annoyed with the extra long name.

So the original Ontario forum is back!!

Post whore away

Newfound respect for those with multiples lol. I only have one so far and can't imagine how busy I would be with another

It actually gets easier BC you know what to expect.

ITT poor time management

Is there only 1 c2k jr, interested how senior became an expert on raising multiples.

2 kids definitely seems like it adds a new dynamic of challenges, still appears manageable, I still have no idea how Super Mario and big tasty do it tho.

you're still in the greenhorn stage, just wait till your kid start to talk, to crawl and get into places where she isnt supposed to get into. Once you get to the teenage years, then come back and talk to me about parenting . Until then, enjoy fatherhood while she's still little.

Your kid doesn't even walk yet, post back when you're having to deal with that lol

So you have 1 kid?

It really is irrelevant, most people are poor time managers that's why their lives are "so busy". Quality of parenting also is one variable that's hard to quantify in the micro so a lot of parents won't be outed until their kids are older and we see what the kids are like

There is no need to be triggered. Parenting is time consuming, but aside from a few outliers where people are working/commuting like dogs and legit have no time, most people are just shitty at managing time. That's why some people get their "work" done at work in 2 hours, others can never find the time in the 8 hours they do have.

It's irrelevant how many kids I have. The point is, Im a dad and I've been around the block and you have yet to do so.

Such expert at Dad hood, comes on CSi asking for advice and became such expert at dad hood.

It makes a huge difference lol don't kid yourself

I'm not talking about managing time in general that's be another discussion, I'm talking about how much time is dedicated to your child during the course of their "awake" time, even if it's just sitting with him/her eating a meal or watching tv, it's still time dedicated to their well being

I noticed a big difference from when my son couldn't walk to now. When they are immobile and they can entertain themselves for awhile in a baby swing or something you get a little
Bit extra time to do whatever you need to...when they start moving around and you need to be on top of them more those extra few minutes are gone

please tell me how wrong I am though I don't comprehend real life sometimes :p

As kids grow, each and every age/phase is better than the previous.

It's actually relevant because as a single child parent you are in no position to be giving out advice (unsolicited mind you) on raising multiple kids, because you just don't know, that's for starters.

Secondly, people like you piping up about things they've never experienced discredit and take away from those who are currently raising 3 kids for example. How can you possibly be trying to measure up to them, lol gtfo.

Lastly, I don't give advice on anything parenting related. I am only sharing my story here and you are privileged to read it. You can probably learn a thing or two.

Since you are assuming and you must be anxious to know. I'm not a dad to one kid.

i'm good with one. lol

i'm good with one. lol

The wife delivered a baby on the sidewalk out front of her ER last night.

Thats all I got for kids talk.

This thread went for a baby shit storm!!

Costco Kirkland branded baby wipes are amazing!!

good to know, we need some and I like the adult wipes so can only imagine how good the baby ones will be

I am not debating the above, we can all agree when they are awake they need 24/7 supervision and care. I am sure that varies between stages/milestones, but you are still 100% occupied, whether you are doing 10% more at the walking stage or not to me is irrelevant, your time (the only variable here) is still consumed, maybe it's a more relaxed or focused time. To me we are splitting hairs.

The only thing I can see being a defining factor is that when you put your kid on a playmat or whatever you can go on your phone or do random shit. We personally don't do that, we stay engaged with her and generally don't have phones around her at all, but again it's different between people and situations. I suppose now if I sit her in her play station and ignore her then you are right, when she is walking I won't be able to ignore her. This entire argument is based me ignoring her now, which I (most importantly my wife) doesn't do. Maybe most parents do? DOn't know, don't care either, but yes then your point is valid.

I am talking about poor time management in general, not related to quality time with your kid. There are very few circumstances where parents can cry about not having time, if they have zero help from their parents, if it's a single parent, if it's a child with disabilities. Most people don't have to deal with those three so they can STFU as there are parents that are REALLY struggling and it's not because they can't go on FB to update their status.

Your wife is awesome!

Those wipes are the bomb. We still buy them, but for cleaning around the house. No need to buy those over priced Lysol wipes you dinks!

i heard in the states they do it painless with lazers.

Her reaction...

"We're never having kids!" and "the last time a touched another girls pussy was at the Downer for your birthday"

Their diapers were decent too.

Their diapers were decent too.

My sister tried the Kirkland brand diapers for my nephew, she said it was shit and leaked. She switched back to Pampers and no complaint.

I need deets too? Feel like I'm playing Russian roulette currently lol

Im contemplating getting snipped...

Ive been with the wife for going on 18 years now and Ive never once busted inside her. And shes been on the pill or some other contraceptive the entire time lol.

no in all seriousness, i'm not down with step kids and all that for my daughter, and i honestly don't think that i would financially be able to give another kid what i give my daughter, and that wouldn't be fair, and i wouldn't be able to live the lifestyle i am now, which i'm liking to be honest.

Exactly. I think this now confirms that C2K has in fact never had a child at all!

LOL, did it hurt?

But he is a STEP DAD, that has to count, that's the same thing as raising 3 of your own right? lol

Wow haven't seen that many topic changes in one thread.

1. Didn't mind the long ass forum name - made it easier to find this forum in the drop down when switching back from OT

2. Tried Kirkland diapers - what Fobster said - they suck cuz they leak (more than one occasions). Both kids were raised on Pampers (wipes are good though - they seem thicker and less likely to tear compared to Pamper wipes)

3. Having more than one kid doesn't seem a lot more work IF they are spaced far enough part in age (we have 2: 11 and 3) - we were planning on at least 5 years apart but ended up further apart than that. The older one is a good helper to deal with the little guy - but they can still goof around together and bond on occasion.
I think I'd lose my shit if they are only 2-3 years apart (see it with 2 of my cousins' family - each have 2 kids that are < 3 years apart - they fight a lot). Not to mention the harder hit with cash flow. 2x daycare, university, etc.

4. We are so done with 2 (bonus that we have 1 boy and girl) - would consider snip snip to eliminate the chances of anything slipping pass the net (esp. a stark reminder since a friend is announcing they are having a 5th one - no this is not a typo).

I get what you're saying with 3, but most people I know try to keep the gap about 3-4 years apart so growing up they can play with each other on a similar level etc
