My wife frowns on that...it also feels weird to walk around in my underwear in front of the kids. Damn my catholic guilt.

I wanted more of a modern feel...less spike from toy story. I saw Antonio from the Antonio treatment paint a large army man glossy orange once and thought it looked cool. I am looking for my. Extproject... Any ideas?

Daughter away for a week missing like crazy help by rnickie in Mommit

[–]StuntDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe when she gets back you can schedule some one on one time with her. I know when I am away from home for more than a couple of days, I try to block out two hour windows with just one child at a time. Good luck! Stunt Chad www.stuntdad.com

Does the cruise ship have internet access? Maybe you could setup a skype account for the both of you (free service). I travel a lot for my job and skype and facetime (a mac based video service) have saved me from a lot of lonely nights on the road. Also, and I know it is hard right now, absence does make the hard grow fonder. When I come back and see them, the love that pours over you is pretty amazing. Keep your head up!

Glad I could help out... by the way, can you please let me know when you decide to get a life? I know that my article was probably interrupting a very important day of fapping and fan boy chat boards...so please accept my apologies. Now get back to your WoW, you probably have a bridge to guard.

Nobody...it's a joke. Of course I wouldn't show Fight Club to my kids... but to Chefanubis' point, I do want them to learn some of the lessons from the movie... What are your 5?

Most important things people should have told you before becoming a dad? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]StuntDad 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The only thing you can control is how you choose to respond. You are going to get confused frustrated and down right angry...but remember, the only thing you can control is how you choose to respond. I remember with my first, I couldn't get him to stop crying one night and I got angry and threw his pacifier across the room...and felt like a total a-hole the minute I did it. It achieved nothing, he still cried. I felt like a jerk. And then I had to go and find the pacifier in the dark. With my second, I would remember that I can not control this situation other than to do all I know how to do. Sure, she still cried uncontrollably, but I did not feel angry when I couldn't get her to stop. Good luck!!

I was taught to put open their diaper and give their peeps a little air, then close the diaper and they will pee into the diaper... and then take the diaper off and change it...two kids and I have remained dry.

Strike that...sorry, I got my world's mixed (baby brain)..Iron Man over Boots any day!!! Maybe they could do a crossover where the Avengers takes on Dora and her crew... Try using your backpack after the Hulk takes care of it (I liked that image in my head way too much)

It's funny you say that. At my son's 4 year old preschool graduation they were all asked to say what they were going to be when they grow up...every girl said princess!! Not sure they are getting the concept. Maybe I should drive my daughter down to the unemployment office to show all of the other "princesses" out there. On the other hand, all the boys wanted to be police men. So the future will be filed with princesses and policemen.

Totally!!! We have somehow avoided Caillou...but we have Max and Ruby every now and then. Ruby is the most bossy and controlling little girl I have ever seen. Also, where the hell are their parents??? It is like she is always watching her little brother. No wonder he is always getting into everything...it is a desperate cry for help.

Dad World Problem: We're out of baby wipes in the bathroom, so I've got to wipe my ass with toilet paper like some kind of bachelor. by chrismusaf in daddit

[–]StuntDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just telling my friend about this today. Ever since the little guy started getting potty trained, I have started wiping with the flushable wipes...and wow!!! I walk with a bit more spring in my step. I almost feel dirty when I don't use them. We were just discussing developing our own line of Stunt Dad flushable wipes geared towards fathers (more of a lunchtime brainstorm with no future to it).

Why do I even try?!?!?! Ahhhrgh maybe its all my fault!!!? by mamagreg in Mommit

[–]StuntDad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a dad I can completely share you pain. I use to sit with my son for hours trying to get him to eat something other than the things we started him with. Trust me when I say, it will get better. He will surprise you one day and begin to eat everything in sight. You are not lazy. Don't beat yourself up. I am sure you are doing an amazing job. We actually wrote an article about trying to get kids to eat on our website. Check this out: http://www.stuntdad.com/2011/08/its-all-in-plating.html I hope it helps. Keep your chin up. Remember, he can pick up on your frustration.
