KnotMyProblem: I haven't been a dad for very long, but Emily and Brian have changed me, too
TeenDad2: <3 <3 <3
TeenDad2: So now you understand why I want as many kids as I can have
KnotMyProblem: I mean, enrichment is good and all, but I like sleep, too
KnotMyProblem: And some semblance of financial stability
KnotMyProblem: And the idea that one day I won't find mysterious sticky substances all over my upholstery
GlitterDoctor: Preach
Gwynning: I don't know. I think it gets easier after your first kid
Gwynning: It hasn't been half as bad this time around
xVerity: There is a steep learning curve after you have your first child. I can see how it could discourage others from wanting more, and I don't blame them for their decisions, whether related to child rearing, finances, or personal preference.
KnotMyProblem: Puppies don't pee in your mouth. Just saying.
TeenDad2: :laughing until crying emoji:
TeenDad2: I guess you learned the ins and outs of being a boy dad pretty quick, huh Knot?
KnotMyProblem: Not quick enough
KnotMyProblem: I partook in the golden stream a few more times than I'd care to admit
Gwynning: I don't know if that sentence has ever been written before, but I'm glad it exists
GlitterDoctor: All I can say is I'm glad I have you guys
GlitterDoctor: There's so much I don't know that I'm hoping you’ll be able to help me with as Parker grows up
Gwynning: I've got your back, Glit
Gwynning: I'm sure Harley does, too
TeenDad2: Just remember it's okay to feel overwhelmed
TeenDad2: It's HARD to be a dad, no matter what your circumstance
KnotMyProblem: It's a little less hard if you remember this rhyme Matthew taught me
KnotMyProblem: "Never trust a little boy/He'll use his urine like a toy/So before you let that diaper rip/Make sure to keep your sexy lips zipped"
Gwynning: …
Gwynning: Matthew taught you that?
KnotMyProblem: Yep
KnotMyProblem: I mean, I did embellish it a little
KnotMyProblem: He never said "sexy," but I knew he was thinking it, so I just added it in
TeenDad2: omg
