Congratulations.

FWIW, my only regrets are losing my patience as a dad.

It’s a very slow and difficult journey, but if you can be halfway decent as a man - it’s the most important and most rewarding thing you will do.

Congrats, bud! It is great to hear that all are healthy and it went well.

It is also good that your posting your feet pics online didn't set you back in this area.

Congrats. My son is 21, seems like just yesterday he was born.

My proudest dad moment was teaching him to lift public toilet seats with his foot instead of touching it.

Congratulations. Being called "Dad" is the best title you will ever have.

I read this description of parenting, by Derek Thompson, and found it funny and true
quote:

Have you been to Paris?” I asked. She had not. Paris is my favorite city, I said. You might tell me that you’ve practically been to Paris, because you’ve been to London and Montreal, and what more could the city of Paris offer beyond some blend of Major European Capital and City That Speaks French And Serves Buttery Sauces? But those travel experiences aren’t additive in a way that captures the experience of being in Paris. So, in this narrow respect, I said, parenting is like Paris. But, much more to the point, parenting is nothing like Paris. Imagine that every day you wake up in your left-bank apartment, and the city has meaningfully morphed into some magically strange variant of Paris. On Tuesday, the streets and boulevards no longer meet at their old familiar intersections. On Wednesday, the Louvre moves to another arrondissement. The Arc de Triumphe turns upside-down on Thursday and floats in the sky on Friday. Now we’re talking. Now that is more like parenting. To be a parent is to be a permanent tourist in a constantly evolving foreign city, which also happens to be your home.

Congratulations!!!

Mine is 16 and going to be 17 in July. Feel like I blinked and we are at this point. Enjoy it and take them days off from work to not miss out on anything.

Best piece of parenting advice I can give you is to teach your children what NO means.

Congrats.

I'm about to have my 3rd, which will put me with 3 under 4 years old.

Terrible 2's is a walk in the park.

3 year olds are the fricking worst.

Have them in unison. Don’t wait 10 years to have #2 like your boy here.

Enjoy it, about to fun and painful journey. Mostly fun though.

My oldest heads to college this Fall, I have already spent 90% of my time i will ever have with that one. Ugh.

My one life regret is not having 4 or more kids, so do not stop. Keep the baby oven cooking.

Wait until two or more daughters sync their cycles with their mother, that's time to take the sons for a weekend trip, fishing, hunting, out of state ball game, etc. etc. until the flames ebb.
