Re: The new parent advice thread!
I haven't read everything in this thread, but lots of great advice here.
I have two kids from two different marriages. My eldest (a girl) is off to college in a few weeks, and the other (a boy) is 9.
In my first marriage, my wife died when our daughter was a year old. I was completely alone when my wife died, with no extended family around, and I was just a dumb kid. I didn't know how to cook meals or care for a baby, but I figured it out. I made LOTS of mistakes, but despite those mistakes my daughter turned out to be an amazing young woman. It is cliche, but time really does fly by, so don't take anything for granted.
The other thing I will say is this: It will be hard. Very hard. You will **** up, a lot. At times, you will hurt the ones you love. However, if you try your best, shower your kids and wife with love and affection, and spend as much time with them as you can, they will love you back and forgive you, despite your flaws.
