Today my wife and I finished buying all of the baby-related sundries for our child, who is due December 25th. I am floored by the sheer number of things we apparently need to be prepared to bring this kid home. This little dude already has a galaxy of stuff that exists purely for his sake. It's astonishing!
We are, of course, nervous and excited simultaneously. This is our first kiddo, so it's sure to be an adventure. Hopefully she and I can team up and be the best parents ever (or at least avoid ruining his life). There are some ideological difficulties to conquer, of course. I love violent video games, she hates them. I find curse words endearing, but she thinks they're downright rude.
Although it might generate some flak, my strategy is to be an open book with this kid. I owe it to my little dude to tell it like I see it. Anything less would be like keeping part of myself a stranger, and I don't want that.
