The ***OFFICIAL*** Dad Thread!

[peterattheboro]

This thread is for all the Dads on OcUK. Use this thread to boast about how fantastic your child is and also use this to find the best Dad techniques to shut your child up when he's screaming at 4am!

I've created this thread as I, aswell as others i'm sure, could do with a little help and advice.

So I have an 11 month old son called Lukas and the latest news is that we have another on the way. My partner is 12 weeks pregnant now and we've just told the families. Everyone seems happy about having another child in the family.

I certainly don't envy your soon to be sleep pattern

My son was 1 last month and is now almost a professional at walking/running into furniture!

Fortunately, my youngest is 13 (of four). I just have to put up with horrible teenagers now.

I find that giving my 9 month old to his mum at that time of the morning is a great coping strategy.

that's what cars were invented for. Works flawlessly.

Although my nipper is now 11 so I've not had to worry about things like that for a very long time now.

You arent wrong!


Jake is gorgeous (my boy), so bloody clever but that comes with issues. He is quickly frustrated when his body cannot do what his mind wants it to do, or if something doesnt work exactly how he knows it should.
When he is happy he is the light of my life, when he is angry he is the devil hehe.

Like all boys should, he wants to be like me in everything that he does. This is a very good thing as it shows that we have a very strong bond

she used to night feed in the first month and a half, but recently has started sleeping from about 12 til 7. which isnt bad going. she is almost three months now.

Drugs are good!

Especially Calpol. My kids sleep very well with it

Surely giving them Calpol every night isn't the best idea, their immune systems won't build up properly.

Counteract it by making them sleep outside with the dogs

At the moment my Son has a cold so he's been having Calpol for the past week or so.

He's also being boobfed but that's due to stop shortly.

Just remember that when your babies have grown up to the age of mine (21 & 19) they are still keeping you awake at night but for different things.
The youngest came home a little bit drunk at 2am and the oldest was arguing with an ex boyfriend on the phone at 3am.

Kick them out tbh.

Did you cover your other child in mustard?

We got one on the way, due mid May. Not sure if that qualifies me for this thread yet

With both of them I've had the boyfriends in front of me and said "Well I hope you are using protection?" and the boyfriends have nearly died with embarrassment.
Also if they're sitting down watching TV and a young single mother comes on I'll point at the TV and say "Take note, use a condom".
