When asked I admitted to my wife that I was talking about her on the messageboards. I said some people said that she wouldn’t be very good at raising a baby (or something) and she said that people were picking on her but I said that people mainly were just criticizing me. I also said it was like therapy for me to discuss things and possibly defend me and my wife. In the end she didn’t suggest that I should stop talking about her on these messageboards…
Pick a name out yet?
I found a name generator that might help: http://fantasynamegenerators.com/troll_names.php#.UTtCUjdvAhU
(Actually, I’m kind of in agreement with **OleOneEye **here. And that’s frankly terrifying.)
That’s it then!
Javyn if it’s a boy.
Shaktila for a girl.
Dude, that is NOT how being up all night with a sick kid works. They’re not just sitting there quietly while you amuse yourself. They’re puking and shitting and crying and whining and wanting a drink of water and a story and their special stuffy and and and… You’re going to be changing sheets and pajamas (yours and theirs, kids are bad for puking or shitting all over you as well as themselves), cleaning up messes, fetching and carrying and soothing and comforting and trying to coax medicine into them.
And to some extent, that’s what being a parent is like all the time. Kids need something or other pretty much constantly. Other people are willing to help up, sure, but only up to a point. And the more those people having going on in their own lives and the less pleasant the help needed is, the sooner that point comes. So when your kid is shrieking bloody murder for hours on end day after day after day after day, your inlaws who are already raising a teenager who isn’t theirs aren’t exactly going to be falling all over themselves to come take care of the little critter. And you can count the teenager right out in that kind of situation.
Right. The point of a toilet is to take the turd through the sewage system.
Is this a broken toilet or something?
So you are the official ‘turd whisperer’ at your flat? This is just a bit bizarre. I mean, I’ve come across a clogged toilet a time or two in my day, but the way to deal with them is to use the plunger and get that turd to meet it’s maker.
I think that people are ‘picking on her’ based on her choice in men.
Well, outside of some of the things you’ve said about her…
Your baby will most likely be born mentally ill or at least grow up under the influence of people who are mentally ill. So knowing the struggles you two have treating your illnesses, you’re still willing to have kids because?
What if the baby is born only a three? I can see how your scale would go. “Son, you didn’t tie your shoes right the first time. Today, you’re a two.” “Son, you got an A on your test, so today you’re a 4.” Hell, have twins.
I didn’t notice that the first time he linked to that photo; now it’s all I can see. THANKS. 
While the kid is screaming bloody murder? :dubious:
That’s not the way it works. Sick babies need attention. They need to be held and rocked, and burped and sung to. You’ll need to take their temperature. Change diapers and clothes. You can’t just pay attention to your iPad, or audio books. Not unless you want puke all over it.
That’s just it. You shouldn’t be “helping”. You should be DOING. You’d be the kid’s goddamned father! She SHOULD expect it, or she’s not any better equipped to be a parent than you are!
It IS necessary. You. Are. That. Kid’s. Father. YOU should be taking care of that kid, NOT Grandma and Grandpa. THEY should be the ones helping you, “if it’s necessary”, not the other way around. Dad isn’t the babysitter. My grandparents were a big part of my life, and they were always there when I needed them, but my dad never just dumped me on them when my mother wasn’t around.
Then she isn’t any more suited to being a parent than you are. And “Doctor” Laura is a fucking moron.
Oh, and you need to call a plumber. Toilets shouldn’t be getting so clogged you have to manually pull shit out of them like that. If a plunger isn’t doing the job, or if you’re having to use it every time you take a shit, call the goddamned plumber.
The mental illness is in keeping up a charade of a different mental illness for 12 years.
I ain’t buying that this is for real.
Oh what’s the harm? It passes the time in amusing fashion.
The Alqonquin Round Table, clearly.
I think I’d be able to listen to audio books or at least music… I can multitask.
You can’t possibly be for real.
I can use both my hands and my ears while listening to audiobooks…
Yeah she would expect it to some degree.
I said I’d look after the kid sometimes…
Well it was an amazingly huge turd. It isn’t a common problem.
Plumbers are expensive and take time to arrive. It just shows that I’m not afraid of turds (like babies produce).
I might only listen to audiobooks if I had to supervise a kid for many hours very often… anyway I’d still be watching the kid with my eyes…
It’s not a common problem for normal people.
As best I can tell you’ve wrestled with these beasts twice.
Did you at least try to use the plunger or was your first instinct to take it from the bowl?
It is irrelevant how unattractive a baby is… it isn’t my wife. And I’ve only told one person that my wife is a 5. Also I heard that there should be 6 praises per 1 criticism for chlidren… and I’ve read about the 5 love languages which involve keeping their emotional tank full. Mental illnesses only usually show themselves when their a teen or later… BTW basically all my wife’s friends are mentally ill and she goes to a place where mentally ill people (and workers) hang out… i.e. though mental illness has a stigma for you, it doesn’t so much for us. I’d rather have a schizophrenic kid that one who cuts themselves. BTW we’d also discourage the kid from using pot because that often leads to schizophrenia e.g. with my wife’s brother.
I don’t have a plunger. My sink, etc, never have got blocked… BTW if it did I’d probably open up the S shaped pipe and remove the blockage.
No, I don’t think we’re being trolled. Most trolls nowadays are more likely to give out long sob stories, or outrageous tales of being disadvantaged (umkay) or whatever. People like JohnClay are pretty common, sadly.
Good luck with THAT. :dubious: If you can still hear audiobooks over the sound of a teething kid, I’ll eat my hat.
I should hope so!
Not “sometimes”. All the time. You’re the goddamned father, not a glorified babysitter. Don’t you think your kid is going to wonder why Mommy is doing all the work while Daddy spends all the time on the computer? A parent needs to be there 100%. You’re not getting a dog. How many times do people have to say this? NOT “SOMETIMES”. Not “WHEN NECCESSARY”. ALL THE FUCKING TIME. You’re the fucking father.
How are you going to afford a kid if you can’t afford a plumber? :dubious: (And buy a fucking plunger. No wonder your toilet’s always clogged. Good god, they’re like five bucks)
