True, usually for a few months.

Usually all of the time. Children in general are a pain in the ass.

Standard advice now is not to take them out for a month. The issue is that if a kid does get an infection that young it is usually pretty serious and involves spinal tap, blood tranfusions, etc. because their immune systems aren't up to par. After a month or so, it isn't that big of a deal.

What crazy person would be going out that early? Sleep is at such a premium at that point that the diseases are low priority. We weren't worried about infections; we were just zombies at that point in the game.

We started going out to eat and things at about 10 days. Had no issues at all. We needed out of the house.

Babies need exercise on a daily basis. Take them for a jog.

Babies need hot baths, preferably the hottest your tap will go.

Babies need to learn how to swim as early as possible, so it's OK to leave them unattended in the bath.

Babies eat tortilla chips.

Forgot one. Newborns can't get out of their crib and get into any trouble, so it's ok to leave them unattended for hours on end.

Btw, you could always leave the family pitbull with the child whilst you and the wife/girlfriend have a few.

I was actually going back through her profile to find the exact day she had the kid. Instead, I saw that she went to Kings Island earlier this week, too. She must have someone doing all the work.
Unless.....what's the protocol on taking babies on rollercoasters??? Good or bad?

Good. The high altitude and adrenaline are great for developing their young organs.

True. And make sure to let the carnies hold them. It's great for helping their immune systems develop.

Make sure they smoke a cigarette too so their lungs will be used to it when they start smoking in high school.

I read 0 posts on this thread, but babies suck ass.

They can't talk, they can't walk, they can't feed themselves, clean themselves, or do anything useful whatsoever. All they do it shit, cry, and annoy other people.

In summary, fuck babies. If you have a baby, fuck you too.

Saw some winner of a browns fan take their kid, had to be less than a month old, to the steelers/browns game a few years ago.


The rule of thumb that I have noticed is this............the more kids that ya have the less "protective" of them i some terms. First couple of niece/nephews it was "by the book" by the parents, but the more there was the more that life experiences took over and not so much the by the book approach
