#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Recent event have made me more concious of the fact that little humans who are called children exist.We have some parents on this forum, I have a question.At what moment did your child become a person to you? When did he/she become more then a small creature that just sleeps, drinks, cries and shits....When did the first hint of an individual personality crop up? How old was he/she? What were the circumstances?P.S. This thread could also function as a gathering point for other parenting talk.
BloodBoal 8,711 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Wait a minute... You're not having a baby, are you?
KK 3,313 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Steef has come to realize he needs something in life than babbling on a forum made up of discussion regarding the obscure fanbase of film music (plus the innuendos!)
Quintus 6,495 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Brilliant movie. Diane Wiest is adorable as always.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Somebody didn't use protection!I've isolated the egg using a fractal encryption code! It is highly unlikely the sperm will be able to break it.....
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Sigh Ok, I'm not pregnant guys! Just having a friend over for a few days who has very young kids!
BLUMENKOHL 1,110 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 In that case you're f*cked. There is nothing in the world worse than other people's snotty ass ugly whiny bratty kids. Unless they are aged from 0-2.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 One is 3, one is 5. They love me!
BLUMENKOHL 1,110 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 9 month olds are awesome. Anything up to 2 is awesome. It's once they stop being automatic cute things and start developing personalities based on their parentage and parenting that they become insufferable assholes.Unless they are your own. Then you're like "OH MY GOSH YOUR NOSE IS RUNNING LET ME GET THAT FOR YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS AND WIPE IT ON MY JEANS."
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Brilliant movie. Diane Wiest is adorable as always.It's Ron Howards best movie. Even Keanu is good.
Quintus 6,495 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Isabelle started laughing at four months, though I'm told she bobbed her legs back and forth to music at three months. But yeah, six months seems to be the biggie for all things personality. Seems like ages ago now (she's 18 months today), and to be honest it just snowballs - every single day reveals something new about this little person in your life, it's constantly hilarious and cute as hell. Just last week my daughter rolled her eyes at me because I embarrassed her, and my response was to tell her it's something she'd better get used to
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 She's beautiful Lee.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Surely you can't be the only parent on this MB?
Quintus 6,495 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 You have a couple yourself, I understand?Thinking about Izzy now, the most amusing thing she does - without fail - is throw her arms in the air and say BANG! right at the end of The Big Bang Theory intro
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Rosemary aged five and Angel aged 3.
Quintus 6,495 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 That's a massive smile!I bet you're LOVING them being there. You'll miss them when they have to go I bet.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Well it wasn't the huge drag yes I figured it was going to be. The thing is they are always coming to me, probably because their mom runs a pretty tight ship and doesn't allow for much, my GF has been an Au-pair 4 times and has about a dozen smaller cousins and know how to control kids and I simply don't know what I'm doing and let them run wild on me. (one of then ended up punching me...for fun)I did found out that my house is definitely...in no way childproofed. These kids find everything. From a pair of scissors to pain killers.
Marian Schedenig 11,694 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Thinking about Izzy now, the most amusing thing she does - without fail - is throw her arms in the air and say BANG! right at the end of The Big Bang Theory intro I do that mentally.
hornist 1,261 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 You have a couple yourself, I understand?Yep, I'm just learning the basics of childcare. I have four kids.
Quintus 6,495 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I love that photo Lee, you guys look great!You have a couple yourself, I understand?Yep, I'm just learning the basics of childcare. I have four kids.Jeez, you're a braver man than I Two is all we can muster. No more after that!
Ren 77 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 So, at about 5-6 months he started showing some personality traits. He's got a little temper, loves to be tickled and honestly as Lee stated it just snowballs. He's almost walking, eeeeek. He babbles away and loves the cats. Thinks I'm a riot, yay!I do want to have another child. But at this point in my life that is on hold.
BLUMENKOHL 1,110 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 But at this point in my life that is on hold.Why? You just increase the chances of three heads or half a brain when you wait.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah you insensitive half-wit!
Ren 77 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Correct, yes I'm single. And yes I realize time is not on my side. Oh well.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 No turkey baster jokes from anyone or I'll kick some ass!
Ren 77 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 no, I would never go that route. Where's the fun in that.
Quintus 6,495 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 You've still got time, Ren. And at the end of the day you've still got your little monster Big Bad Dom
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 That's a beautiful picture of you and D! Let's all hold hands, i feel emotional.
Ren 77 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 You've still got time, Ren. And at the end of the day you've still got your little monster Big Bad Dom I do, I know. And I'd rather have the fun now....
BLUMENKOHL 1,110 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Correct, yes I'm single. And yes I realize time is not on my side. Oh well.WHAT? DRAMA! Tell!WHERE'S THE BABY DADDY? DID THE BASTARD LEAVE?Is he dead? In that case god bless his soul and may I be forgiven for my insensitivity.
BLUMENKOHL 1,110 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I'm always all ears when it comes to drama. I'm the gossip queen at the office, crowned so by the office ladies themselves.
KK 3,313 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Just wanted to say, all the kids posted here are beautiful. Lucky fellows.
BLUMENKOHL 1,110 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I was gonna say if he's not dead you should go on Jerry Springer. But then I realized you are from one of the Witch Burning States.Not far south enough.
stewdog1 50 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I'm a parent also. My son is 9 and my daughter is 7.. I'll see about posting a picture later. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Andy 7,730 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I have a 9 year old daughter. Frankly, I'm not a baby person. They start to get really fun around 2 or 3. After that, each age is different and offers its own fun.
BloodBoal 8,711 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 There is nothing in the world worse than other people's snotty ass ugly whiny bratty kids. Unless they are aged from 0-2.Frankly, I'm not a baby person. They start to get really fun around 2 or 3.OK...
