Why save her poop, you can create your own when the time comes...you may even be able to fling your own diaper at them.

I plan on going outside when her boyfriend shows up and pissing on all standing structures on my property, including her boyfriend's car as a means of showing dominance and ownership.

Good thing is, my daughters are about 7 years apart in age, which means I have time to refine my procedures after the first one goes.

My daughter has been going to bed at 8 p.m. and sleeping till 9 or 10 a.m. since she was a month old. She's 13 months now. I work from home so most days I get 9 to 10 hours of sleep. No complaints here.

bah I have twins and did the 3am shift, then worked the next day.

EDIT> Triplets - that's when you definitely need a nanny of some sort, I don't know how 2 people can do that especially with all the crying. I know you do what you have to do but you have a limit.

Someday, when you're old enough to lift your head/crawl, you may understand this general rule promulgated by daddy.

Until then, carry on...

Ah yes, I remember those days. Mine has turned into a night person at 15 months. He's wrestling with Sagalore right now and probably won't go to bed for another hour. Then he sleeps until about noon.

My sympathies. Truly. Our kid never wanted to sleep long hours as a baby.

Ya we broke down and had to get help. When you start to near hallucinate and people look at you funny you start to get worried.

Too bad then can't just comfort each other. Saw the AFHV with triplets (maybe 8-10 mths) in a crib. When one started crying, another gave him his finger to suck on. :p

Red, I find what works best is to wear them out. Days when my kid goes to daycare he's sleeping by 9-9:30.

My daughter sleeps in. In fact it's probably time to wake her up. But then ... she's 12. <3

You guys are doing it wrong.

You dont have to worry about boys coming to the house to pick her up if she is "un-datable"
I've got a 15 month old daughter now and I'm already scheming.

Plan A) Spread rumors starting in 7th grade or so that she has multiple STD's....

I'm just being a jerk :p. I'll have kids someday. However the thought of it makes my head spin.

Yeah but then "later in life" means > 18 and not living with me = NMP

j/k

The sad part is that it's important to mention you're joking. A lot of the members here wouldn't be joking. The daughter wants to bring someone home, she's out of the family for life.

Wow crazy double-post!


@highland145: I lived with my mom until i was 23, but i was going to college in-town and it would have been rediculous to get my own place. Then again I wasn't bringing ladies home all the time....
