When I saw your post at first I thought I had nothing to contribute because I don't have kids, but I slept on it and realized something very important...
everyday I become more and more like my father...so I think to be a good dad keep in mind that someday your kid is going to become you...figure out what kind of person you want them to be, and then demonstrate it every single day...so when you're not around anymore they'll still have a piece of you with them.

PGP, you guys look like special forces bikers!!! HAHA!!
ESTEVE,,,I don't have any kids either, and you advice is solid!!! Too many jerked up kids these days as a result of simply being spawned by irresponsible subhumans! Each kid has the potential to be great if thier parents provide them with the right tools!!!
I recall when I was 6 years old, my dad was building a room addition on the house. He wanted me to feel like I was a part of the project so he made me up a little tool bag and gave me a hammer. When he wasn't looking I walked around the room additiona and busted out 4 windows with the hammer. Still have one of the scars! It was pretty funny cuz my mom got the whole thing on 8mm!!!!!

Not that you have ever wanted my advice.........lol However, as a father for the past 5 years I am learning some do's and do not's.
First off, you will fall in love with your boy faster then anything you have ever loved before. Second, give him love, guidence and room to learn, grow, make mistakes, and do the right thing. Explain things, don't just tell them what to do, tell them why they should or shouldn't do things. Be his friend not just his parent. My daugher and I have a great friendship and it allows us to have fun together and it also makes her want to do what she is told. Some think being their 'friend' blurs the parent-child line. I disagree.
Just enjoy!!!!!

Dont baby talk your son, The whole family has talked to my neice as a younge adult and she can speak very well, knows her alphabet and numbers and she is 3. (as of last month) she is a very smart little girl. As long as you explain why (Like 280) said but it really does help a lot.

Excellent point Spade, we didn't baby talk with our daughter and people said the same thing when she was around 3 years old about how clear she spoke and how she had a great understanding of her words and what others said to her.

This is great advice Poop. Along with this and I will stress this is "communication"......talk often with your kids and listen to what they have to say. Set aside a time, especially when they get older to "talk" (dinner time is the best) and discuss everything as in daily events. Be apart of whatever they want to achieve and support them to the best of your ability. I raised 3 daughters (well, Sue and I) and we we're both involved in everything they did. Now I get to enjoy Grandkids and watch my kids instill the values they we're taught in there kids......full circle. Most of all man, love your kids unconditionally and have fun with them......they grow fast!!!! |

Poop,
Really, if you are asking the question you are armed with everything you need to be a GREAT parent. Asking the question highlights many things but I'll point out 3 that jump out at me.
Asking means you know you're not perfect and willing to analyze ways to be better - pass that on.
Asking means you've already matured past the point of knowing everything - pass it on.
Asking means being a father means a lot to you - that'll be passed on on its own.
Congratulations and enjoy what life has to give you. You're only going to go around once.

Poopaliscous.....My advice to you is...Take a good look at how your own Father brought you up, the values he instilled in you, the integrity, and the love he gave, cos I think you turned out a pretty good kid yerself...  |

I wish I had all the advice you needed.And after 4 kids and 7 grandkids you would think I would but I can only try to tell you how I look at things.
The best advice I can give you is remember what it was like when you were a kid and then discipline the way you think worked best.Spend as much free time with your son as you can and remember,what you teach him will help decide the way he lives the rest of his life.Well at least to some extent.Times are tough and you need to let him know you love him and as Freeway said you turned out good and I have no doubt you will teach him well.

POOP, We've never met and I don't know you personally, BUT what I've gathered on here over the last few years you seem like a damn good guy...
Best advice I can give you: JUST BE YOURSELF

thanks for all the responses, guys. my wife and i have had a good time reading them all, and each one is appreciated.
i keep thinking about steve martin in parenthood, one minute having dreams of parenting grandeur--being acknowledged by the valedictorian son as his greatest influence--and then the next minute afraid he'll "screw him up" and pass along the worst of himself, someday left only with "that was a good shot, son!" left to encourage him with as his son takes aim at the crowd below from a tower on a college campus. lol...
it cracks me up, mostly. i've been wanting this all my life, and i'm psyched. thanks again for all the notes.
