Kiddo's first bath! Here's basically how I'm spending my vacation - babysitting! Not sure what I'm doing yet, my first intention was to take her out back and hose her off....but my wife quickly put a lid on that idea.Here's some more pics of my firstborn....can you tell I'm a proud dad or what?

Doesn't look like Madison enjoyed her baby bath much Hokie! Maybe I sould send you the book "Art of Infant Massage!" Glad Mrs. Hokie deep sixed the idea of hosing her off though! She's a doll, poor little dear has to put up with you brain washing her already, Gotta love the "I love Daddy" Towel! You'll have to get her a Kitty AR tee shirt!Patty |

Not to hijack, but I have a buddy who did that. His boy was older (like five) and he was left to "babysit" for the afternoon. The boy pooped his pants. Dad decided he would kill two birds with one stone--clean him up and break him of pants-pooping. He made him stand against a fence and turned the hose on him. Worked good until a neighbor heard the caterwalling and called his wife at work. She rushed home and well, you can guess the rest.  The boy is now almost 30 and hasn't shit himself since though.

What alittle sweetie! One question, why is it when the Dads are home with the kids, its called BABYSITTING......they are YOUR kids right? When Moms are home they don't call it babysitting????? That's one thing that irks me!  (sorry had to get that off my chest!) 
|
From a man's perspective-- We have a number of responsibilities-- Make 'em 8-10 years later: Teach 'em to cuss, spit, cut things with a knife, torment the women, shoot, and kill things to eat. |
I don't get that either, Ms_embroidery. I've even known women to pay the father to 'babysit'. 
|
How could anyone pay the father of the child to babysit??? |
How could anyone pay the father of the child to babysit??? That is exactly what I asked. This one woman I know is a complete idiot. To make it worse, she did not even ask him for child support when they first filed for divorce. |
Oh lord....I can't believe the father actually accepts money for watching his own kid. You think that a parent would spend time with their kid regardless right? |

thanks all! She is a total beauty, so I apologize to the women for any biological epiphanies that may result from Madison's chest piercing cuteness. Every day I find there's something much different about her, seeing as she grows and develops so much every day. Today she couldn't keep her eyes closed cause there was just way too much to see! She also discovered that Daddy's face feels different when he doesn't shave for two days. It's quite the contrast from the soft blankets, stuffed animals, and of course her mother. Another 'new-dad' realization....when you're a father, you quickly realize that your role in the first few months is boob support technician and diaper custodial engineer. There are perks to the role though, I get in lots of goo-goo talk with Maddy....taking her around the house pointing out all the cool stuff like the coffee table, the dog, and the ceiling fans...which she finds fascinating. Patty scared me with the "poop in the bathtub" statement....I may have to do some preventative maintenance and have a little chat with Madison about such behavior. |
I'll remember that next time I take a bath!   And yeah, my wife's a certified fox, there's no question on where the kid's good looks come from. One thing I can do, is kiss that lil' pumpkin on the head. It'll be in another hour, when I fall asleep on the couch with her on my chest....it's becoming habitual in the late evening hours! |
It isn't for money...it is for the NAKED POINTS!!! Naked Points are more valuable than money and more fun :)
|
If I understood it right, the parents of the child are divorced...so unless he's getting naked points from another woman..... Correct me if i'm wrong Ogre_4070. |
Yes, the parents are now divorced. I am not sure what Cosmicone_der is implying.

These are great pics! Many thanks for sharing! btw..the idea of hosing the kid down isn't *that* bad! When my son was old enough to stand in the bath tub, leaning against the wall, he enjoyed being washed off with the hand held shower. However, the cold water from the hose outside just wasn't as much fun, no way! Gwen |

They seem to really like that position, pull their arms in to their chest, and you are almost afraid to move lest you disturb them! A Dad's greatest pleasure! [The "boy" is now in his mid 20s, is a member of this Forum, and can hit a flea's eyeball with an AR-15 at 100 yds with open irons!] Congratulations! |
Can't wait till she says "Daddy, can we PLEASE go to the range again?!? PLEAAAAASE!"
|
That will happen more quickly than you can imagine! |
Whoa whoa whoa! My fault, I missed a step there in the thread. I thought the question was "How could anyone pay the father of the child to babysit???" I in no way meant anything directed at any person or persons. (Geez I sound like a disclaimer in a car ad). I offer my deepest apologies. ETA - Cute lil one Hokie! Congrats |
