RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 My highschool didn't do the full blown baby thing. But I think there was a Sociology class that had to take an egg home in a basket for the week and not break it. I suppose there is a parenting lesson in their somwhere.Never took that class. Can't comment further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallzy41 9 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 I'm on "down-time" right now, so i'm currently working on stickhandling. But this baby works in shifts from like 1-6 hours. Sometimes the baby will cry for no reason, and it'll just cry for minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes the baby will cry for no reason, and it'll just cry for minutes.There is always a reason...as non-babies, we just don't always understand the reason *L*100% correct. Babies only cry for a reason. They have yet to develop the cognitive ability to cry or act in a manipulative way...like my lovely 3 year old. <_< Babies will cry for one of 4 reasons (some have 5):Hungry.Full Diaper.In pain or discomfort.Tired.Or needs contact/affection (ie- needs to be held for a while...kind of subjective, but some babies are very good self-soothers and need to be held.

MorePower4me 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 Yikes. At least you get to give it back.I'll say the same thing to the younger guys on MSH as I did in the locker room a few weeks ago (open hockey with some younger guys) - WRAP IT UP!EVERY TIME!Don't leave your entire future/18 years of child support to some girl's ability to remember to take a pill (happens all the time), realize what medicines negate the BC (there are MANY) or not try to 'lock you in' by getting pregnant (most frightening, but all too common). Young pregnancies happen ALL the time...Now that I'm a little older (26) I realize the single smartest thing that I did from ages 16-25 was ensure I was not a father. The options/abilities/lifestyle I have now (and enjoy) would just not have been possible.So before you b*tch about it being 2% less pleasurable... think about how much less pleasurable waking up at 3am is vs continuing to sleep. My guess is 500%.And thats not even the whole STD thing...***there are many wonderful things about having kids. I'm not anti-kid, just make sure its on your terms!*** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Law Goalie 147 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 I would add to eric's list: - bored - excited - overexcited - understimulated - confused - or the number one reason, because growing lungs need exercise! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric42434224 1 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 I would add to eric's list: - bored - excited - overexcited - understimulated - confused - or the number one reason, because growing lungs need exercise!Yes...true, but it is usually one of the Holy Trinity of Baby Crying. My wife can (and I dont know how) actually tell the difference between the cries. Seriously. She will be in the other room, and yell "that is a tired cry" or "that is a shit her diaper cry"....and Ill be damned if she isnt right every damn time.Food, Shit, Sleep. Unless it is obvious like it was startled by a loud noise, you should always check those three first.Babies will cry for other reasons like stated above if they are predisposed to them....and God Forbid the Heinous Evil of Colic.Babies that are what they call "Self-soothers" really only cry for those main reasons. I am lucky as both of my girls are/were that way.I knew that they were crying for one of the three reasons.And I have heard that the "lung excercise" reason has been largely dismissed as being without merit. It was widely accepted decades ago that you should let your baby cry to develop its lungs, but studies have shown it has no real effect as compared to babies that dont cry a lot.

DEATHTRON 19 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 You say that...next thing you know youre "raw-dogging" it because youve had a few too many to drink, or the girl just sort of "hops on" mid BJ. You really have to practice self discipline or take the girl to planned parenthood the next morning and watch her take the pills. Its just not worth it in the long run, Morepower has it right, you need to wrap it up. One of my close friends just had a kid, him and his girl were not using any sort of birth control for the last 2 years, it was bound to happen sooner or later, they were just following "her cycle"...how his life has changed now.

Wallzy41 9 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 I'll admit, that as a Christian, I mess up quite a bit. I swear like a sailor, but have been working on that. However, Purity until Marriage is a top priority on my list. and to add: My Girlfriend and I may be genetically unable to have children anyway. I don't know the reason as of now, but when the time comes we will have a fertility specialist look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
