If i ever have a kid (instead of cloning myself) i'll have to remember to give it at least 3 names it can chose from... at least when it tells me it hates it's names i can say "sorry, i tried"...

She was named after my great aunt, who was something of a matriarch of my mother's family before she died. But thanks for being such an ass.

Just wondering (not related to her name), is there anything you wouldn't do for her? And if yes, than might ask, what is that? (I'm 100% serious)

Interesting question.

I think getting to know your own child is very similar to getting to know anyone else, especially for a father. It takes time to form bonds of love. If, a week after she was born, she was in danger of getting run over by a speeding bus, would I have jumped in front of it to save her? Well, it's tough to answer a question like that. But one thing that I can answer is that I'd be more more likely to do it today than yesterday, and I'd be much more likely to do it tomorrow than today. Maybe it's not the same with women, who I imagine have more of a biological instinct to put their child's welfare at first place right from day 1. But one thing I can say is that, unlike in the romantic comedies where people are consummate parents starting from the moment of birth, in real life it takes time, patience and a lot of wrestling with emotions to become a good parent who puts their child's welfare at least on the same priority level as one's own.

Really nice answer to a good question. I don't think i am ready for a child yet. Takes a lot of time, money and effort, and that's something i don't have right now. But reading what you wrote is really nice, and i am sure you make a good father, no doubt about that :)

@darknessfood: Yeah, I don't feel ready for that responsibility myself either. :)

Hey, anything else would have been out of character... but don't worry, it's very unlikely you'd have been able to pick a name i'd have liked...




sorry about your aunt...

@Corribus

A good answer indeed, and you kinda understood my answer. Still the answer wasn't exact, I mean, is there a thing what you wouldn't do for your daughter? And I mean in the very moment, and not when she was born. Also your acting is logic till when is in her favor, so things like buying tons of candies or jewels is out of talk, just as much as letting her to do everything she wishes.
As for being father.... is a good job, but as hard it is, it's just as much rewarding, and anyone who says that it isn't so, lack devotion and love toward their child.

Hum, was she planned? :|

I can barely wait to be father.

The ultimate reward is being a Grandfather, getting them on a sugar high and sending them home. (or is that payback ...)

I'm alone now, looking for a maid. After that, I'll have to buy some money (and also "buy" some relationship :lol:). About time, there's always time for our kids. ^^

And yes, responsibility as a father and raising and watching your cubes growing - those sort of wonderful things.
