The only prep you can have before you have kids is money. That's it! If you don't have the extra income you will be in a bad spot. It's all about the schedule and strictly following it. Even if you are tired they still have to eat, get homework done, chores, and extra curriculum stuff. You get rest after they go to bed. I have twins and they ware me out, but I still find time for a lot of the stuff I want to do but I just can't do it as often.

The hardest age is 1 year (3 months till bout 9 months is cake as long as you're around and attentive, they really only eat sleep and poop at that phase) through bout 5. Then they start to develop their personality and they become more and more independant (that, in itself is fukking hard tho :mjcry:) and you can ease back more and more and let them be them. It's stressful, it's funny as hell (kids do a ton of dumb shyt), it's the most emotional shyt you'll ever deal with and you have to be prepared to open yourself up and not be afraid or ashamed of the fact that you are processing these emotions just the same as them, I fukked up for a long time with my oldest and his emotional issues and it's taken me till just recently to get to the point where i'm aight and he's aight. You gotta be able to work at it and learn every single day.

shyt's a challenge, but every single day is a new experience, and I wouldn't trade my boys for anything in the whole world. Coming home to a hug from yo kids >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I work in a nursery so I spend a 7:30am to 6:00pm shift running after a bunch of screaming weans and then when I'm finished I get to come home to another one, and she's in the terrible twos right now.:mjgrin:


But there's no secret to doing it, you just have to find the energy, and she's in bed fairly early anyway so I always have time to play FIFA and watch the wrestling for a bit when she's settled down. :yeshrug:

Yo it's funny to see this thread tonight OP.....

Today I worked from the crib which was nice. But I also had to watch my daughter all day while I worked cuz Wifey was making some extra bread babysitting from this rich family we know who loves her.

shyt is hard breh. My seed turned 4 last month and only goes to preschool 3 days a week currently. But that in itself has eased things a lot to be real. Those couple days each week I know gives Wifey the breaks she needs. She's been (luckily) able to spend the first 3 years straight with her at home while I held shyt down but she's transitioning now back into school to finally finish. 3 schools over 5 years with a 3 year gap of inactivity smh

My daughter is my world breh. The most innocent, sweet, smart, pure person I've ever known. I learn every single day being around her. Today was exhausting sure. Work from home while feeding her, bathing her, dressing her, playing with her, watching her, taking a break to go walk outside with her, etc etc. there is no free time much of the time unless we plan it out. It's just what it is until they get a bit older and at least hit elementary school but still then the road is long and you have to have the vision for the life you want for them years down the road NOW. It starts now. I constantly am thinking are the moves I'm making each and every day BENEFITTING her in the most positive way it can??? Cuz she 4 now but will be 14 in the blink of an eye. And by that time I need to have true SECURITY and a LIFE built for her.....if you truly love your child it's scary breh. The world is a fucced up place and you don't want your seed to see that but it's enevitable so you just do the best you can. Simply put. The BEST you can....cuz it AINT about you anymore

And YES, having BOTH parents raising the child means the world to them. This is not to be disputed

My daughter is my happy place:yeshrug:

1000 percent fam. My literal joy in life. Salute breh

Having kids nowadays is selfish and some sucker shyt if you ask me.

It's actually much more the opposite. When YOU are ready to become SELFLESS instead of SELFISH, then having children may be for you

Until then, yeah, don't bring a child into this world who didn't ask to be here just for you to put your own bs aspirations and wants and needs first. Children are what's important

Adults are terrible for the most part and I'd rather be with my daughter any day of the week if I could

Word.

My son is the same for me.

I actually look forward to seeing someone who thinks the world of me and loves me unconditionally after spending the day dealing with all the backstabbing fake ass people at my job.
It really is amazing what one of these little brehs just saying "I love you daddy" will do to brighten up your whole damn day.
