@synthia Fuck man. It took my guy a solid 5 months to hit that stride and it's still like every 3rd night he decides to wake up.

 

[katarina978]

@synthia Hey, no one needs to hear that. (But me too, absolutely thankful for this girl).

 

[katalin95]

@dickvep My kids 3 and still doesn't sleep through the night.

 

[gnosticman]

@dickvep I'm 31 years old. I don't even sleep through the night. Why the fuck would I expect it of an infant whose stomach is the size of an egg and gets uncomfortable in wet diapers?

 

[lucyflor]

@dickvep Ours slept well at first. And then, with 4 months old, started to wake up crying 10-15 times per night.

We were Zombies for these months...

But somehow it got better...

@airel Awww are you giving mom the day off?

 

[phananh]

@rachelcgv "She's taken every day off this week. Probably something to do with her funeral yesterday."

If strangers are going to say dumb shit, I like to make it super awkward.

 

[simplywell]

@phananh The sarcasm undermines it. "His mum died in childbirth" and look sad.

 

[voxmelancholiae]

@phananh I'm glad I'm not the only one who pulls the "the mom is dead" card on random strangers

 

[dmm]

@phananh Gonna remember this one.

 

[faithandhopes]

@phananh Damn that's heat. Wish I had the balls to say something like this cause I get the same shit all the time

 

[chriscooke95]

@phananh Damn I’m stealing this

@rachelcgv This one gets me every fucking time. It’s a routine thing for me to take my two boys with me, whether it’s a quick trip to Lowe’s, the grocery store, or a trip to the park. Never fails, SOMEONE has to say something about it.

Like, no, I’m their dad. I actually want to spend time with them, teach them, and have a relationship with them.

 

[unitarian4jesus]

@wesf I'll walk the dogs and the baby "Wow! Super dad!" Really? A walk is super dad? Sips beer hidden in Yeti

 

[steve77]

@rachelcgv really grinds my gears

 

[stricky]

@rachelcgv no, I'm making a special delivery to the Epstein foundation.

 

[antonvaf]

@rachelcgv You know what's funny about this to me?

I live in Japan, which is basically the country for the Mom-does-everything-around-the-house-while-Dad-lives-at-work kind of nuclear family. I have never once in my three years of raising a son received any comment even slightly resembling this here. People here will happily strike up a conversation with a young parent out with their child, but everyone has always been completely respectful.

On the other hand when I posted a picture of my son on Facebook my American aunt couldn't help herself from butting in to make a comment implying my incompetence. She doesn't even have kids.

I couldn't live with that kind of bullshit every day.

 

[mymessagetou]

@antonvaf

She doesn't even have kids.

Nice

 

[katarina978]

@mymessagetou Nice on many levels

 

[zeelizardglue]

@antonvaf They all seen Way of the Househusband and know better than to be disrespectful
