Yeah, after having three kids with widely different temperaments, I can only offer two pieces of advice to other dads:

- You're going to have to change diapers anyway, so you might as well get good at it. I was a one-man Formula 1 pit crew of diaper changing. AMA.

- Invest in a vasectomy.



Wait. After three kids your advice only covers the first 2-3 years?!

Since I basically followed both of those pieces already, am I good?

Yep. Good luck.


AMA: what about the super runny pound of goop poo that leaks through both nappies.


Just deal with it. It's going to happen, just notice as quickly as possible and then go and clean the baby (washing, not wipes, just hold him in one arm, use the shower head and in a minute its all clean)


They use sawdust to clean liquidy messes at the subway so...


Buy a dog.


Cannot recommend this one enough, many household messes will be gone in no time with a dog that does his/her part
