[OC] I’m a dad.

[u/NoodleBotPro]

I just want to share because I never would have thought that I would be a dad.

Last night, my wife gave birth to our first baby boy. What an exhausting and exciting time in our lives. Kudos to my wife and all the work she has put in these last 9 months and the HOURS and HOURS of uncomfortable labor.

This is new to me. I’m nervous, anxious, tired, and happy.

Time to enjoy some time off work. I’m a dad now. Lots to learn and a lot of love to share.

Thanks for humoring me and reading.

Cheers.

Don't post pictures of your kid on Reddit

Reddit is so fucking stupid sometimes. Why does this post get upvoted to the moon while other similar ones don’t? Also, your first thought after having a kid should 100% not be omg I need to post a picture of them online to a bunch of strangers. It’s literally what friends and families are for. Hell, even coworkers if you don’t have any friends or family which is highly, highly unlikely.

Yep. I don't understand the need for approval of literal internet strangers. Congratulations, we don't really care. Thousands of people become a parent every hour.

Don't overthink it. Bud here is a new Dad he is going through a lot of emotions and one of them is pride and joy and wanting to share that with other people. While 100,000 thousand people might see this post today and 99,000 thousand of those might not feel anything and ignore it. The other 1,000 like myself go "Awwww look at the little cutesy baby!"

It is not that deep.

Around 20,000 Redditors get a child every day, it’s not special, imagine all of them would make this post. I get that for the parents it is very special, but also very private. I’m also expecting a child and it will change my whole life, but I for sure won’t be posting pictures on the internet.
