Making them is more awesome, IMO. Having them gets old quick. I'm ready for someone else to have mine. Especially the 3 yr old.

Congratulations? Are you happy about this?
Assuming you are, it's great. My little girl is almost 3 and smart as a whip. She loves daddy's "little robot men", and my big Lego space shuttle base too. I have to say, my life did not completely change, as I thought it would. Here I am, still colelcting TFs and other toys, still messing around with cars, still having fun, and now I have a wee-teeny partner in crime! Kids are fun if you're still part kid yourself. Congrats again!
EDIT- just read TMan's reply, and I didn't want to make it seem like my kid is all sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes, yes, it would be nice to get a break from daddyhood, and sometimes when my brother or sister have her for an overnight sleepover, the bliss is immeasurable. Still wouldn't give up being a dad for anything tho.

My child is the best thing that ever happened to me. She dances with her cuddle pillow Optimus Prime. I got to teach her how to laugh. Not figuritvly, Literally. Being a parent is awesome.
I don't have a 3 year old yet, so I can't comment on that age. There are challenges to parenting, but none worth bothering a new father with. When I found out my first some people delighted in regaling me with stories of sleepless nights and screaming kids. While these things do happen, the are only as bad as you let them be. (which for me was never half as bad as people said.) It'll be great. Be a great dad. Enjoy every minute.

She's Japanese, so it'd be more like a katana and a kimono.

And thanks everyone, I am indeed very stoked to be a Dad. (plus it gives me an awesome excuse to get a new glass cabinet for tf's to keep all the dangerous parts at bay.)

I plan to be at her side holding her hand, but I don't think I wanna see her at 10cm with a head coming out of her.

eh, I had to watch a video of a birth in high school.

Sure, it'll probably be different when it's not some random woman, and when it's actually my kid. But is that a chance I want to take? Right now, I'm thinking no.

That f-ing video is so misleading.
One: in the moment it is a much more emotional primal and beautiful experience.
Two: Watching doesn't mean putting your ears between her thighs and wearing a pair of safety goggles.
There is nothing gross about the mother or the baby. They might be sticky but it's not like its toxic waste.
Do what's right for you, but I bet I saw the same damn vid. Don't let it be a factor. It was highschool, they were
trying to SCARE us out of having sex.

I'm just squimish as Blot, so seeing something like that pop outta her hole woulda made me light headed. But the afterbirth made for a good steak.

OMG!!! Seeing it in person is way worse than on TV.
On TV, it looks like the Vigina is just casually stretching. In Person (in my situation) it looked like the worse pain in the world. It looked more like the movie Aliens. I could hear and see the flesh around the opening tearing. Imagine taking an uncooked Chicken and ramming your fist up inside it until your fist comes tearing out the collar bone end of the chicken. My wife went natural because her water broke before she could get her shot. I thought she was gonna go into shock. Seeing this, I was thinking "Whoa sex is gonna be way different". I was wrong. After the 6 week healing period, it was way of telling a 8lb 9oz baby shoved it's way out of there.Things went so back to normal, I'm still in shock 3 + yrs later every time we Woo-hoo *Sims language*

Congrats dude! Being a dad is about the greatest experience you can have. Now, it ain't all sunshine and roses,(wait till the first messy diaper), in spite of that it's still a great time. I have an almost 3 y.o. (8/12) who likes to watch TF and Power Rangers with me, and most of his shows aren't that bad. I just spend the day saying " Connor, don't ninja kick the ____ (dog, baby, your mother,me,etc.....). I wouldn't trade it for a complete set of MISB Transformers from G1 till now.
