Nikkijah Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Yes congratulations my friend, I understand how you feel completely, my wife gave birth to our little monster 1 day after my arrival last year and it has been fun and games ever since I initially had a lot of concerns regarding how the <deleted> I was going to stay out here and be part of our boys life but things have worked out, I hope they do for you too :-D If this is your first baby then what a place to start! There are advantages and disadvantages to being a daddy/mummy here, first the heat, our Falang genes have got issues with this heat and as far as our boy is concerned we have to make sure the beads of sweat don't blur his vision as he sweats a lot. The main advantages for us is that we have some good neighbours here who take care of our now 15 month old monster when we really need it, this is a godsend, I am busy working all day in my office and my wife has a garden to see to, this has been very important to us as her family is 'distant' and my family is in the UK :-( I wish you all the luck for the future and I'll drink a beer to your newborn! ;-) Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikkijah Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Yes Belfastboy, I've just read your previous posts and it seems you've got other issues apart from being a daddy, I can't believe what is hapening in your home, it sounds like total madness, typical madness if you know what I mean, you would think that once you get back to your own country that you kind of leave these kind of things behind but you've managed to drag them along with you(no fault of your own it appears!) Again, I hope everything goes well for you and I hope your in-laws go home soon(no disrespect intended!). Sounds like you need it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuestHouse Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Well done that man. Congratulations to you both, I hope mum is feeling well and my best wishes that your son has a great life.

mickmac Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Well congratulations to you and your wife. I wish all the best for you and your new family. Try not to live too close to her family when you eventually go back there, it might ease your pain a little. If you do have to live close, do as one of the posters on here has done, made the upstairs portion of his house a no-go area for the family. That aside, all the best to you, from a Mayo exile.

Backpack_thailand Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Cherish the time and take tons of video and pictures Absolutely. I've got over 1,000 pix of my little fella and he's just 2 and a half! Whenever you get the chance BelfastBoy always have your camera/phone with you. Leave them on your computer and once in a while burn them on to a CD to be safe. Now I'm in to the "terrible twos" but to be honest so far it's all good. No teething problems, sleep patterns generally OK and he can now recognise the fact that Daddy speaks a different language than Mummy. Thai is the mother tongue narurally but I am at pains to get at least 1 hour a day of one-on-one English. Make it fun with drawing pictures, pointing to colours, animals on the TV etc. with plenty of "What's that?", or "Whose that?'. Now when my son speaks to me I say to him "English" and he now can tell me the word in English. He's also counting 1 to 20 and knows all the colours and animals in English (Thanks Animal Planet channel!!) Bless him... Anyone want to see a pic of Backpack Jr. ??

Thaiboxer Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Congratulations!! I became a daddy last year...kind of hoped for a girl since I never had a sister, but we got a boy. Sleepless nights will seem easy once the little guy starts crawling! Ours is trying to stand up by holding onto things so we have to keep after him. It's so cool to watch them develop both physically and mentally. You may also notice a bit of stubborness after several months when the little one doesn't get his way so make sure you invest in a low wattage stun gun...it's a great child rearing tool (kidding). As another poster said, takes LOTS of pics and videos because he'll grow up faster than you can imagine. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfastboy Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 here's a wee pic of our wee man.... Jenson... thanks again to all of u for the wise advice....haven't been on here in ages, due to obvious reasons... but its the greatest feeling ever, would really recommend having a child, i feel more focused on what important in life now... maybe when i eventually get out to thailand us fathers can have day/night out to show off our heirs with a few beers / red wine of course... any stories on bringing up kids in thailand??
