OcUK Dadsnet thread

So I've bought the kids nerf guns for Christmas (and one for me to of course). I am responsible though as I've also got them these little vest things and safety glasses. What's the worst that can happen:p. I bet the first time they shoot, it goes straight in my nuts:D.
 
nice one, my boy loves Nerf guns (he's 5) and the little girl loves shooting the boy (she's 3) - I got them face masks which is good because they tend to like the point blank shot to the face as the killshot!!

Ahh that makes me feel much better, as my kids are exactly the same age just the other way round. My worry was that my son wouldn't be able to **** it (its a nerf disrupter ive got them, had to get the same one for each of them lol).

I'm unsure what was starred out there!

I now absolutely have to get nerf guns. My daughter and I had a blast with squirt guns over summer so that's the obvious next step. Xmas sorted.

I'm guessing a derogatory term for a man's reproductive anatomy! But yeah my 4 year old struggled to pull the 'shaft' back!

Yeah it took me a while to suss it. I was like "man, if he was a teenager or something sure, but surely you can trust him not to screw a nerf gun at that age".
 
On my boys birthday we had a massive nerf fight, whole extended family involved, was a blast, my boy had a belt fed machine gun almost as big as him, I just sat in a corner constantly reloading him, he just kept firing, no matter what, he was a sight to see! So proud, until my little girl sneaked up behind me and shot me in the back, now that was the proudest moment, I trained her well!!
 
Quick update. My OH was induced at 11am on Sunday, by midnight she was moved down to the delivery suite and at 6:56am our daughter was delivered. 7lb 7oz, healthy and beautiful.

We were discharged eventually at 10pm (my mrs hates hospitals and just wanted out) and in bed by midnight, 38hrs of madness, but now she's here i wouldnt change it for the world. The first couple of nights were a bit... 'rough' but last night we had a solid 5hrs sleep which felt amazing. She's showing more personality every hour at the moment and the feelings i have for her are unreal.

Congrats!

My two are just 20 weeks - those feelings will only get stronger and stronger as time goes by! I wouldn't change it for a thing!

Awesome dude. Welcome to the world where phrases like "a solid 5hrs sleep" are said without a hint of irony! 3.5yrs into the journey myself, and it just gets better every day. Tonight after reading my girl a story in bed I gave her a kiss goodnight and she rolled over, gave me the biggest hug and whispered "goodnight daddy, I love you" and I ******* melted. On the flip side it's also filled with weird moments where she sits there rubbing herself going "my peepee tickles!" and I have to explain that's a thing most people do in private.

Congratulations. Don't be lured into the false sense of security by having a "decent" night already already. Many crap nights and zombie status ahead :D worth it though.
 
So today has been the first day my daughter has been able to keep anything down, who the hell sends their child to nursery with the norovirus.

We may have panicked in the night, when she was vomiting, explosive nappies and had a high fever. Luckily the out of hours gp at the a.e. was great.

So have spent the last two days being a large teddy bear to a cuddly toddler.

feeling a bit guilty that i actually enjoyed being wanted and hugged all the time, normally shes very independent

Those places are just plague houses. Our daughter went through a phase of getting sick back to back and it was getting ridiculous how much time off work we were taking. Thankfully she seems pretty robust now and it's a rare thing.

it's just luck if the draw. My daughter rarely got I'll at nursery she was maybe off twice from 9 months up-to school age. My son managed that in his first year lol.

On the plus side she will have developed a strong immune system, unlike the kids that don't get enough exposure at a young age.

The real plus side is that she has enough experience to tell us when she's gonna puke and to chunder in the bucket!

I laugh because I've said the same thing about my daughter when she was ill (incedently this wasn't nursery related, it was cake related as me and the Mrs were taking turns with the toilet lol). Also was watching blaze with my 3 year old earlier, and as it asks questions he was getting them right. This time it was with ramps, and what numbers bigger. I did ask him which was smaller but he didn't quite get that:p. I'm quite proud of him for being that good with them. I'm sure he's coming along quicker than my daughter did (sorry for the smug parent moment).
