How many of us can definitively say that we've fucked?

[DC47]

Congratulations and best wishes!

You're wise to realize that plans (pro and con) for additional kids often go out the window when you are face-to-face with the real deal. I imagine you'll have many huddles in coming months.

[Pruitt]

Congratulations indeed!

Yeah, get through the first 12 months before even thinking about discussing having a second. But in the meantime, sleep when you can.

Way to fuck, keg!

[DSafetyGuy]

Congrats, Keg. Which one is the traditional gift?

Being a supermarket cashier was an A+ job.

Definitely. We were unionized, too, so that job paid a lot more than the other basic teen jobs people were getting. Back in the day.

It looks like he got the job. He's going back to deal with paperwork today, then orientation, which I assume will be six hours of video about how not to sexually harass his co-workers.

[Shirley]

We had our first kid two weeks ago. We're going to huddle up in about a year to see if we want to try for another.

Congrats, Keg!

[Rush2112]

Yes, congrats on the new beer ball Keg...and belated congrats to Mulligan!

Congratulations!

Congrats Keg! What's her name? Pics!!

Sitting here on this outdoor patio at the casino enjoying a beer and a bowl watching Angry Mom chase her three or four screaming kids around and as always I know I made the right choice. (The parenting decisions of these people is a different discussion.)

YMMV

[Reaper]

Two times over and going to hit 40 this year with a 6 and almost 3 year old. This is a young man's game, so we're done. The vasectomy will probably be my birthday present to myself. Though there's times I've though about fostering/adopting a teenager before my kids get there, try to help one or two that may feel like the world has given up on them.

Working my ass off to give my girls everything they need, plus a little extra, and the reason why I've posted about 10 times in the last 7 years. I sometimes envy the friends that have been/are going all over the world, but then one of the little ones does something that makes me realize that this was the best decision my wife and I ever made.

[Square Rob]

My step-son is 19. I missed most of the fun stages, and only got to suffer through the horrible teenage years. He's a good kid and I love him dearly. No desire for any of my own, which isn't a problem because the wife can't have anymore. She has zero desire to do something like adopt either, which also lines up with my thinking. We give back in other ways.

For those that have multiple, and balance careers on top, my hats off to you.

[mister d]

Whoa, Reaper, we could form a club of dudes who have two girls who will be 6 and 3 when they turn 40. That's crazy.

[The Sybian]

Congrats, Tom! (not sure I knew you had a kid).

Unless I have an identical twin I never knew about, I'm pretty sure I procreated. Sometimes it freaks me out how much my daughter looks like I did at her age.

Seeing Flaco is 47 years old was jarring. I knew he was older than me, but fuck, 47? Then I realize I am 41. Fuck, that used to seem old.

It is old. You are old. You're only going to get older.

Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays.

[Sabo]

I have a massive headache, which isn't making today easier. And Mondays are hands down my busiest work day, so it's been a perfect storm of shit. Fortunately I managed to take a short break for lunch and rode my bike five miles. That was good for reducing the stress levels.

I was kinda kidding and wanted to drop some Office Space, but that does suck. Sorry, man.

[Sabo]

I know you were kidding. I'm just living up to my reputation of being joyless.

WHY SO MUCH VITRIOL

He's a joy on IM, too, guys, so i can assure you this isn't just an act.

I was having a great day, until you lashed out at me. I hope ruining my day helped you feel better.

Perhaps. I don't have a headache any more, but that might be because of the aspirin.

And I don't feel like I lashed out at you ... I was just trying to give you some perspective. Some hard, cold and aged perspective.

That's the problem with being an old crank. What seems like normal conversation to you sounds to others like the vitriolic lashing out of an old crank. (And Sabo - some even more aged perspective for you - it gets worse.)

Pourquoi?

Pourquoi?

The proof is in the puddinheads.

[brian]

For the record, if you’re a man your wife/girlfriend having a kid still isn’t definitive proof you’ve fucked.

Happy Father’s Day to y’all.

Save it for the cucked thread

You clearly haven’t seen my kids.

I can definitely state that my mom fucked, 55 years and nine months and two days ago.

Happy birthday, Steve. (And, to be so precise on the date, did you have an uncomfortable conversation with your Mom?)

And, fun fact - I was born 9 months and 2 days after my parents' wedding day. My father just got into town the day before the wedding, so I'm fairly certain I am a wedding night baby.

Thanks. How old were you when you figured that out, or figured out what it meant?

(No, I didn't have the awkward conversation. Ick. My birthday was actually two days ago, so I just assumed the nine months.)

I don't remember when I figured that one out. But, I have a crystal clear memory of a different similar discovery. I think I was about 12 when we visited my grandparents one summer, and I was amusing myself by looking through grandma's old keepsake photos, etc. I saw something that indicated her wedding date, and I quickly deduced that the wedding date was only about 5 months before my father's birth date. Being a kid unwise to the perceived need to keep some things quiet, I loudly announced my finding. Then, was quickly shut up by my mother.
