Random Thoughts on Fatherhood

Being a 23-year old dad, I don't really have many friends that are parents, so I don't have anyone to really share the minor everyday aspects of parenthood with (except my wife, of course). I'm not in the mood to write a huge essay, but from time to time I just want to write things I'm thinking about.

---------------------------------------------------

When my son wakes up at 7:00 AM in the morning, I always say to myself that I wish he would sleep in late one day, because I could really use the sleep. Last Sunday, it happened. I woke up at 11:00 AM, and he was still asleep, and I went back to sleep. 12:00 PM came, and he was still asleep. At 12:30 I got worried because he NEVER sleeps that late, and went into his room to check on him. That woke him up.

It's funny, because when I got exactly what I wanted, it really wasn't what I thought it would be. Same thing when he's awake; he makes tons of noise, but when he's quiet, I know he's up to no good.

hehheh, cute story. =)

I don't have kids (yet), but I always hear how it's never as easy as you expect it to be. So I'll just assume it's impossible to it's easier than I imagine. xD

 

[Teran]

Haha, children will mess with your mind in a way nothing else comes close to comparing to.

My mother told me that one.

 

[Heartz♥]

Nobody knows any man more than their father (considering he is a good, dedicated father).

I've lost my mother at a young age, and my dad has always been there for me, even when he struggled. This also explains my "tomboyism" and lack of the average "girly" preppiness.

Each parent plays an important factor in a boy's life. The mother nurtures, and the father strengthens. It is sad to see so many single parents out there.

You better be careful! He could grow up to be a practical joker and totally piss you off.

I'm so friggin thankful that my kid doesn't cry much, but when he does... He screams as loud as humanly possible and this is always in movie theaters, libraries, during prayers, he can't cry at a concert, NO it's gotta be somewhere where you're supposed to be silent.

 

[OutlawStar]

Haha, that is funny.
I won`t be having kids for a long time.

 

[Heartz♥]

Same here. I love kids but sometimes they make me not like them

 

[OutlawStar]

It is not that I am just not old enough.

 

[Teran]

I bet Jam's kid is gonna grow up to hate Brawl and play Melee like a champ, then wobble his father into oblivion.

You biscuit Teran, was that an insult?

Can't wobble the ICs!

Unless you're KevinM. Then you can do anything.

Haha, but what if you were a solo climber? Then you're screwed. =D

If you're Isai, you can do more than anything, you can make up stylish taunts with Captain Falcon on the spot, and make sandbagging matches fun to watch. Too bad he retired and all.

 

[Chaco]

This made me smile Jam. Although I was tempted to quote and change all Father's to Mother's just to pick at you. Haha.

Oh, I have to tell you something. I'll VM you, it might not be important to you. But it is to me, lol.

 

[OutlawStar]

Wobbling? I have no idea what that is,
becasue I am no Melee expurt.
Play Brawl.
No, play the original,

[Deleted member]

What happens after 5 months? He can already say baba! Unfortunately, "baba" is not a word in any language currently known to humans...

How old is your kid Jam?

 

[P.C. Jona]

it might be puerto rican slang, but thats what ive heard it called since forever

My son will be two years old in July.

After five months they start to sleep throughout the night, they lift their head up, and they start to roll over. It's like after that point, they start to grow SO fast. Every day he'll do something that will just completely amaze you.

Of course, your son could just be a quick leaner, and he's doing all of those things already!

 

[Deleted member]

My son started lifted his head up for the first time last Saturday. My wife was freaking out and taking pictures. I just watched and nearly cried.

 

[Jam Stunna]

Just wait till he gets bigger and stronger. Probably the best feeling of my entire life is walking into my son's room in the morning, and he's standing in his crib and the first thing he does when he sees me is smile.

 

[Deleted member]

I can't wait for him to grow a little more, so I can have some fun with him instead of him puking on me. I don't want him to grow up too fast though.

Jam, do you have that typical father mindset where you want your son to exceed you by far? I've been doing a lot of thinking about what I want my son to be. I mean, I'm not going to get married or have kids for a good while, but I know that my first child will be a son named Benjamin, with his middle name being James. He's going to be ridiculously epic. I'm going to make this kid learn at least a second language as he grows up and teach him about the art of fighting, literature, smash, and of course, God. My kid is going to be the second most epic child the world has ever witnessed (first being Jesus, of course). Seriously, I can't wait.

Baba means "daddy" in Arabic and Persian.

Thats really cute

I think all parents want their children to have better lives than they did, in the sense that they don't want their children to make the same mistakes they did. I'm not too concerned about whether or not my son is amazing, but whether or not he'll have the skills to have a healthy, productive and happy life. Those skills will come from me.

It's be so cool for my son to speak Persian. That'd be amazing. Besides not being able to communicate.

He could communicate with me. ;D

My dad plays more in the role of tell-me-what-I-ought-to-be-doing-every-time-he-speaks- to-me. It's funny, I guess my older brother was the strengthener. Now that he's in college, I really appreciate what he did to help me.

 

[BBQ°]

the original post was leading me to believe that Jam's son was dead :[

 

[Deleted member]

If I knew my son was Persian I'd have named him Xerxes. Then my 2nd kid would be Leonidas. Imagine the lols that would ensue.
