Lol too lazy to read the responses already so apologies if I repeat anything that has alreadu been said.

Experience level 7 years. 2 kids ages 7 and 2, 1 boy 1 girl lol.

I'm just going to spew random shit and will most definitely miss a lot but just off the top of my head here.

- #1 advice is do not take any advice. What I really mean by this is you "might" experience people passing judgement on how you should raise your kid. Could be friends, family, strangers etc. Well you know what, there's no instruction manual and 1 single way to raise a kid. If you and your wifey are ok with whatever decision is made then that's the right call for you.

- People often think having a kid means the end of your life. Social gatherings, going to the gym, partying, whatever it is = game over. This however is so far from the truth I've seen couples stressing the fuck out over this before the baby is born. Look, having a kid is a big deal and a lot of responsibility and of course they will be your #1 priority. That being said it means you can still have a healthy lifestyle. You can still go out with friends, go out and eat, go hiking or whatever the fuck it is you do. You just have to make adjustments to how it's done, maybe you have to go home earlier because of sleep time or whatever but it's more than possible. You can still go party and have your wife take the shift tonight but the opposite is true too. Both you and the wife need breaks and don't feel guilty about pawning the kid off whether it be your SO or grandparents. Trust me just do it.

- Buying shit, oh boy when we had our new kids we went balls to the wall and spent a shit ton of money. $1000 strollers, $1000 crib, the fucking words I tell you. So much of the crap we bought was untouched or barely touched. I can tell you right now the baby 2nd hand market is NOT the same as other things. The value does not hold, I don't know if it's cheap parents or what but it is what it is. If you're ok with hand me downs take that shit. There will 100% for sure be many things you buy that you won't use either because you forgot you bought it, they don't like it, or many other reasons. This I can guarantee

- Apply for all the free money you can through the government, there are tons of benefits you can tap into.

I'll add more later, in a rush just wanted to throw a few at you.
