Aloha,
Expecting my first boy by 5-22-8, so will be new to wiping baby butt, and new to prostrating myself to the world via blogging. I am comp savvy as I have one in every room of this house, but I never checked out a blog prior to me starting one a month ago. I figured that I would profess my child-rearing-mishaps to the world, especially because I don’t think the snobby moms around this upper class neighborhood would appreciate a man intruding in their stroller-runners club, and simply because I am going to be confined to this house for many a year. So why not interact with a bunch of dudes on the other side of the continent. I actually look forward to being sahd. Sure I’m excited and scared to death, but what the hell, my girlfriend makes big bucks and I don’t really make enough to keep the diapers from running out. So here I go… I think my days of surfing till noon are coming to an end. Perhaps I can get the grandma’s to watch the boy in the mornings, oh what the hell, I’ll just leave the tv on.

Get out of the house

Yeah, surfing till noon probably isn't going to work out...

But, get out of the house. If you think of yourself as "confined to the house", you'll quickly go crazy...

Make friends with the snobby running moms

You're going to need a babysitter every now and then.

Snobby Running Moms

Like BPD said, make friends with them. Especially if some of them are hot. Who knows, maybe they will invite you to a lingerie party like BPD goes to.

Come on

They're snobby and they jog. They've all got to be hot! Just like all of us dads who jog. Just don't go kissing them, eh BPD?

I swear I'm smart, sometimes...

Kev, Pull the skin back is in reference to a child-hood memory I had recalled at the moment of posting. It pertains to having to painfully pull the foreskin back as a child while bathing. I was having a flash forward to what I will have to do with my boy, and I sort of got creeped out. Sorry for sharing. And get out of the house indeed. I tend to exaggerate a bit, the women aren’t as snobby as they may seem, it’s just that when a pack of clucking women go waltzing by the beach while I’m getting in my wetsuit to go surf, and I see their botox injected faces and voluptuous implants, I tend to immediately think, snob. Of course I would be friends with them in two diapers and a bottle shake, as I am with some. Soon to be many, many more.
Bellyman, wouldn’t it be nice if we could actually see our kids become what we want them to. A pro surfer would be fantastic. Of course, as my parents know all too well, kids tend to become more like their peers than their parents. Of course that is not to say my boy won’t be surfing before he can talk.
I am actually excited to be a dad. I just started my blog, and I do like to joke around a lot, but in addition to writing about my everyday child-rearing mishaps, I actually want to write about serious topics as well that relate to parenting. I read a lot of sociology books, and lately books that relate to psychological development, so hopefully I may actually be able to contribute something, smart. Who knows, it could happen…

Thanks fellas, we’ll see if I actually stick to this whole blogging and forum thing.

Our two boys aren't circumcised. and my 4 year old doesn't seem to have a problem with it. (the other is just a week old) Remember that it doesn't fully separate until the child is around 2-3 so don't pull it back to clean until then, just wash off the outside.

Foreskin

Yeah, dude, you don't want to go messin' with a dude's sword sheath, so to speak. Even still, I'd be lettin' nature do what nature does best in regards to anatomy. Why cut it off if it ain't broke?!
