Kids are a lot of work. My girlfriend has two boys (ages 9 and 2). One day they are normal, the next they are demons from hell and ripping the house apart.
It takes patience, work, effort, and more patience... and occasionally a few advils help.

Treat them like I do my cat, fresh water and plenty of food daily, pet/scratch them behind the ear and let them sleep in between your legs
Oh yeah, and string, have lots of string to play with, but put it up when you are done.

You can be a father and be a friend, but you cannot only be a friend. Hard sometimes. Good luck.

Ah, so that's what the 3R's stand for.
btw, the big day has been put off until today. Too much preping to do to the house. So, tonight, a friend of the ex's who is also a friend of mine is bringing the kids over. And, she'll come on weekends to help, too.

Well, they came today (well, I guess it's yesterday now...) and all is well. Of course they couldn't sleep at first, and second, and third:
...times coming out of the room is what happened. More often, to tell the truth. Every other minute:
Dad, Vicky farted...
Damn, it's almost like she was made for Cleetus.
Finally, the little one came out and said her tummy hurt. I said it was because she finally had a real meal and is filled up. And, she's now an official fat girl. . Then I picked her up in my arms and held her while posting here helping someone out in the XP or 9x forum...all along rubbing her head. Within minutes she was asleep.
I couldn't help it, but I let her sleep there for 15 minutes. It felt really good. Finally bonding with my little girl.
This is the stuff dreams are made of.

Way to go, Trip. Sounds like all of you will make the adjustment just fine.
If only you knew what's inside of me now,
You wouldn't want to know me, somehow.

Thanks.
I believe so. too. I mean, there wasn't a single tear shed. It's like they are relieved, as well as happy, to be with me.
Well, I can relate to that.
I am so damn tired that I can't sleep...

But as I well know, sometimes you've got no choice but to try to be that one ...

I can relate entirely to that .. this is like you are having a re-run of my circumstances Trip, but with 3 kids instead of 1 ! I've got to say being a parent is the hardest job I ever did, with the worst pay possible, but with the greatest rewards in the world despite that !
Just keep remembering what you already know Trip, its worth it .
