This thread reminds me of that story about a kid that got a used Nintendo 3DS and tried to take pictures with it, only to find all kinds of dick pics taken from the previous owner in the log. D:

Do you have any stories that don't end with dick pics?

being kept up by an infant that REFUSES TO GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP is quicker. Or more effective. Or whatever. GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP CHILD.

That is what scares me about parenthood!

You have this little being that won't go to bed, yet you can't drug them because reasons.

You have this little being that (by the age of 2) screams at you all day, but you can't scream back because of reasons.

Jesus it sounds like a nightmare.

Really? They didn't go overboard when film actually cost something?
Maybe I just don't know my parents, but I'd venture a guess that it wouldn't have been much different had they had a digital camera instead.

with digital cameras, it doesn't hurt anything to take tons and tons of pics then weed out the ones you want later. when i go on vacation for a week i usually take like 1500+ pics. 90% of them are probably garbage, but there are some great ones in there.

my first born turned 2 months old yesterday. we probably have 7000 pics in 2 months lol. okay well maybe not that many, but we have a lot. i also got a dslr 3-4 weeks ago and have taken already 1500 pics with that camera alone, not including the iphone pics we've taken.

hell we did his "2 month" photo yesterday and i took 41 pics. we used 1 of them.

Also, very gradually, all your stories become about poop. I suppose that can be considered a plus depending on how you look at it. But it's totally worth it for that first moment when your child reaches out and grabs your finger and you realize you've made a little person that you get to mold into a highly specialized underground street fighting champion. Or whatever.

My little ATOT warriors are coming along nicely. My 3yo snorgles her bun bun every night.

I have been told the "it was all worth it" moment never really comes for dudes, but I don't know anyone wanting a prize fighting kid.
