re: Wife and I are going to have a son. Need advice from parenting gurus of the OT.

as the father of 4 boys....my advice is to have fun with them. All 4 of ours are completely different in their likes and personalities. I see so many dads that try and make their boys into something they are not. Let them grow up and have fun being a little boy.

Wise older lady once told me:

If you plant an apple seed, you are going to get an apple tree. No matter how hard you try it will never be an orange or pear tree. So groom it and raise it to be the best apple tree that it can be.
