    Friends with dads or non dads?

    Do you prefer your friends be dads or that they not have children of their own? I prefer the latter since it seems that dads usually try to prove that their child is the best, which gets really old really fast.

    Too expensive

    You have to be careful with coupons as they might trick you into paying more than you would buying a product without a coupon. That being said I have to admit I tried it once, but searching for them got on my nerves.

    Maternity leave

    My wife worked right up to about two weeks before giving birth on her last pregnancy. She stopped because she wanted some time to get ready, I guess she was one of the lucky ones since she didn't suffer too much during the pregnancy, I can't even remmeber her having morning sickness.

    Something wrong with kids today?

    When you can just kill somebody who raised you for most of your life than you are very very sick. I think the larger population and greater media coverage is the reason they seem to increase, not some external trigger that is making them act this way.

    Unexpected visits.

    So my mother in law decided it was a good idea to drop by unannounced, don't get me wrong she is a pleasant person, but I hate it when people just drop by and think that I can work around my schedule to please them.

    Would you adopt a child?

    If I was single for example and got married with somebody who already had kids I wouldn't mind, but adopting kids is a whole different tune altogether, I don't think I would go for it either.

    Laundry, I need help.

    Back in my bachelor days I used to have to go to the laundromat and I never thought it was that big of a deal. As long as you don't have to wash it by hand I don't understand what's the problem.

    Your fun is not my fun

    I hate family gatherings, you can pick your friends, but you are born into your family. I don't mind doing something that I don't enjoy all that much, but I'm not going to do everything that everybody else enjoys and not get to do at least one thing I also enjoy. And like Badge said, there is...

    First child scares?

    I remmeber that when me and my wife were having our first baby, we would freak out over anything and everything and seems like a lot of new parents are the same. Were/are you like that?

    The Mozart effect

    I have seen some sort of belly phones so to speak, they go on your stomach and only the baby can hear the music, those seem like a practical solution to me.

    Do you need reassurance?

    Men are used to roughing it, chances are all he wants is to know that you are fine. At the end of the day we can take care of ourselves, of course everything else that your relationship was based on, doesn't go away just because you are pregnant.

    Kids dating someone you don't like?

    What do you do when one of your kids is dating somebody who you don't like, but you just can't put your finger on the reason. I usually try to get to the bottom of it, my gut instinct rarely fails me, but my kids don't trust it as much as I do.

    Daughter and her Boyfriend

    You might not want to talk about boys with your girl, especially since most of us tend to think of them as our baby girls. If you really think there's cause for concern tell your wife to step in, otherwise just leave it alone.

    Home workers and household chores

    I think it would be normal to be shared, just because your office is in the living room doesn't mean that you don't have deadlines to meet. If your partner doesn't understand that, than you have a big problem on your hands.

    Time and place

    Try to not let him hear things that have the potential to embarrass you. If he says something at random now and then, that's no reason to be embarrassed since it's pretty normal.

    Concerts alone?

    What do you think is the right age to let kids go to concerts alone, without adult supervision? I know how the scene was when I was growing up and I don't think it has gotten better since.

    Daughter and her Boyfriend

    That's a tricky one, they might eventually resolve it and if her boyfriend tells her than she will be furious with you for going around her back. Just leave it alone, young romance rarely lasts long anyway.

    Discussing with the kids before

    You can tell them, but it's not something you can discuss with them, since even if you have kids there is no sense in keeping them in a loveless environment just to raise them in the traditional family unit.

    Growing Up Pains

    No secret there, they get a sense that they are adults and think that they can do and handle everything themselves, but they still think like kids and make very misguided choices.
