A 10 month old AND twins...🙀 You are screwed!

Life as you knew it a year ago is over! A single guy or a newly married guy without kids has a fun, prosperous, carefree lifestyle. Party on Friday night, sleep the grogginess off Saturday morning. Roll out of bed about 10:00 and watch a few games, fire up the BBQ... living the good life.👍

You will be lucky to ever get all that new BBQ gear out of the shipping packages over the next couple of years. You better pray your mom and your MIL are close enough by to help.

If you're really, really lucky they will tend to the babies and you will get cooking, trash, general cleaning duties. Hauling all of those used pampers outside will get you lots of atta boy points! NEVER... make them ask you to take the trash out, that pisses them off, so says Oprah.

My 39 year old son that has a 4 year, a 6 year and a high profile spousal unit said to his 2 best friends, that also have a couple of kids each, while we were on our annual fishing trip... I should start an anonymous website that informs young new married guys planning to have kids about how their lifestyle is going to abruptly change.

They all spoke about the horrendous change that occurred immediately and hung theirs heads.😖 It's not that they don't love fatherhood and they are very thankful to have their lovely kids... they are just saying, no one knows exactly what to expect and what a dramatic change is about to happen.

My son has become a very attentive father and he spends almost all of his non-working time with the kids but they keep him very busy. It gets easier and easier the older they get though... you have that to look forward to.👍

I always told the youngers "it's not getting married that changes everything - it's having kids. And try not to let them outnumber you".

Glad I'm old.

"Try not to let them outnumber you"... you are a wise man grasshopper.🤔
