The Official TFK Father's Issues Thread. I don't know how they do it

About right, earlier for the wemin. Autism is being linked to older fathers. Time and energy wise, alot depends on the kids you produce. Some kids are easy to manage, others are lunatics.

@artfoley is in his late 40s and became a father in the last few years, he’d be best placed to answer this

Have them while your own parents are young enough to help out. It’s a big help if the grandparents are fresh enough to mind them for entire weekends while you go off on a binge.

Dont take the piss though. Myself and the misses get out about once a month and manage to get a full weekend about once a quarter. Works fine. Si much so that my own mother tells me we dont do it often enough

Congratulations Rocko, hope it’s all going well.

Only seeing this now congrats @Rocko

Having had a very painful Wisdom tooth come up a few months back I’ve huge sympathy for any baby teething.

Rocko really isn’t getting the love that most new fathers get. Why is that?

Well in Rocko, hope mother and child are both doing well.

WTF? Should we go round and change a few nappies for him?

Not sure. Is the child the first they’ve had? Can’t remember. If it’s their first then no we shouldn’t go around and help change nappies as he needs the practice. If they have a kids already then no we shouldn’t go around as they know what to do. Safe to say we aren’t calling over…

Do it on one of your “working from home” days.

2 weeks later and she’d make a fair attempt at Amhrán na bhFiann. I’m not finished yet.
