How many proud, new* parents?
-
Just came across Chris Austin's thread below[^] and wondered how many proud, new* parents are there out there on CP? My team leader commented that "you're such a new dad, Jon" the other day, as she found me idly watching my Slickr screen saver[^] serve up photos of my boy for me. (This[^] is probably one of my faves...) Anyone else been caught admiring photos of their kids at work? Anyone else just think their kids are the bees knees? Anyone else think it is so great to be a parent? Or is it just me...? Cheers, Jon *subjective: my boy is two years old, but I still consider myself to be a "new" dad.

To be honest it seems to have hit almost every *young* married couple I know in the last 2 years. My wife and I thought we'd be the last and oldest (33 years old) amongst our freinds to be 1st time parents. But, just about everybody else our age has suprised us and joined the club.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. - -Lazarus Long, Time Enough For Love

Not yet, but if all goes well, then I will be a new father around St. Patty's Day, 2007. :)

In my defence, most people agree with my that my son is pretty special. Yours looks like a cool little guy, tho. I have a 10 year old girl in the house now. It's no longer ALWAYS great to be a parent. But, on aggregate, it's still good.

I have vivid memories of my wife enthusing to young girls in the church about how gross the last nights nappies were. She just couldn't grasp that things that were every day to us were still gross to the next generation. So, yeah, I adore my kids, but I'm always careful to remember that not everyone agrees with me ( for example, we ate out last night, we always choose a table in a corner because my son goes a bit feral, and all the more so if there is a 6-19 year old girl sitting nearby ).

Do you mean special in the same way as Special Olympics? http://www.specialolympics.org/Special+Olympics+Public+Website/default.htm

Hi Jon, My son is 16 months old and I completely understand where you're coming from. I remember having a chat with Paul Watson before Mikey was born on how it's a shame that people change after having kids - well, just goes to show how little I understood of the love one has for one's kids! Mikey is the light of my life, and when he comes running up to me with that huge grin and his arms outstretched for a cuddle I know he feels the same way about his mum. What greater joy or satisfaction could there be in life than knowing you've just spent a whole day with a wonderful, new little person and have helped shape their world? Your son is beautiful, what a grin! Easy to see you are enjoying being a dad from that shot :cool: Just to continue the thread of course ( :-O )this[^] is one of my (many :rolleyes: ) fav's of Mikey
A mum and loving it! My (very young) blog[^]

Yeah, but I find it so easy to fall into that "gushing parent" mode... :sigh:
