miltonbentley Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thank you to everyone who expressed their good wishes on this and other threads. Rachel and I appreciate the sentiments. We are enormously excited (and just a little nervous) about the arrival of our first child and are looking forward to raising a family in Chiang Mai which is a city we love.

Blinky Bill Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thank you to everyone who expressed their good wishes on this and other threads. Rachel and I appreciate the sentiments. We are enormously excited (and just a little nervous) about the arrival of our first child and are looking forward to raising a family in Chiang Mai which is a city we love. Don't be nervous, mate. I'm sure Rachel and your good self are more than capable of bringing up a little "Tusker" in Chiang Mai. I'm sure he/she will grow up as a normal, well adjusted person, somewhat similar to some of us who have spent a long time in the area. As the parent of 3 single children, may I suggest that you both consider a second child in the not too distant future. Kids love to have company.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I would suggest a second one only when the first one is able to take care of him/herself, say when they're 4 or 5. Otherwise the workload increases exponentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miltonbentley Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 So being new to all this parenting lark my options are to have lots quickly so they all keep each other amused or have one, wait five years send them out sweeping chimneys or such like so that the income they bring in can subsidise the raisng of the next?

hanuman1 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Yes, congratulations Chaz & Rach. And thanks for the beer pong thing the other night. Was a lot of fun. Come to think of it, your bar-keeping experience should set you up well for fatherhood. I'm sure the nipper will soon come to love a modified version of beer pong. Just make sure you use a low-alcohol brand H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sao Jiang Mai Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Great news guys...though will miss having a drink with R for the next year! I suppose the only thing to do is catch up with you on that front! Pim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanForbes Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 A bit of advice from an old hand at it, Chas. Children need 3 things in good quantity: LOVE, DISCIPLINE and CONSISTENCY Give them that and you can't go wrong. It only gets more complicated when you have a second one. But that's only because of other issues. LOVE, DISCIPLINE and CONSISTENCY are the main ones. Actually, a good dog trainer uses exactly the same methods.
