You have time to play D&D with TWO kids?

Us too! I used to play but got too pregnant at the table. A week after our son was born, all the guys came over to meet him and play dnd

Guys... it's 2019 and some of you still think no one would bang a D&D player. Like seriously it's more popular now than ever.

Your wife sounds like a wonderful person. Is she single?

Congratulations all around. And health .

Your wife and your child deserve better.
VeraTheWraith
Presumably we're talking a few hours on a single day. I question it, but it's hardly a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Remember, quality time is important, but so is leaving each other the fuck alone occasionally. Never deprive an SO of individual identity.

As long as you help with that 3am feeding! #happyhouse

I don't care what she wants. Do it period. Anyone who can be that nice with that many hormones in their body is a literal saint.
Doshegotabooty
Yeah but she deserves better.

That’s very gracious of her and pretty irresponsible of you, my guy.

Damn... you owe her the best back rub. JUST a back rub this time.

You both deserve your respective getaways from stress as often as you can get them. Hope it was/is/continues to be a fun time.
FabergeBurrito
Don't judge too harshly. Entertaining people can be exhausting in addition to just having a baby. She prolly wanted to make him happy while-
FabergeBurrito
Still getting the rest she needed. Childbirth is not a walk in the park. Let the man have his party, she rests, they both win.
camiscribbles
The kid is 5 days old. If he’s having his party, she’s taking care of the child, not resting.
FabergeBurrito
Babies sleep a good amount of the time. With 2 kids myself, you learn you sleep when Baby does, which is majority of the time as a newborn.

The greatest challenge in our DND group is the DM’s toddler throwing dice across the table...and rolling really fucking well.

URNOTFUNNY1226
Kudos to your wife. But why aren't you so in love with your wife and child that you couldn't take a break from your pretend life?
Doshegotabooty
Right? She’s cool and all but damn, he should be with her and his newborn, these are bonding moments. D&D isn’t that important.
FeChefImgur
Newborns (& we're talking NEW born here) eat, sleep and poop. You get about 10-15 minutes of "quality" time after a feed before they sleep.
Doshegotabooty
Not saying you can’t do anything else. Bros around doing as they do, with a 5 day old and mom in the next room would just feel wrong.
FeChefImgur
Doesn't have to be "next room" though, could be in garage or out the back or something. Hopefully somewhere that didn't disturb Mum & bub :)
Doshegotabooty
I hear you. But why would you even want that party going on? I mean, I love my games as much as anyone else but there’s a time and place.

hardytardigrade
IMO she shouldn't be "letting" you do stuff you enjoy. And you shouldn't be hosting a D&D session 5 days after she gave birth.
meskarune
She just gave birth to a fucking baby, so yeah she gets a say on if people come over to the house or not. Goddamn.
Shirzen
I mean, it could be an online session.
hardytardigrade
Of course she does, I'm saying I disagree with the discussion being based around whether one person is "letting" the other person do stuff.
Goonit
That's kinda for them to decide. He's just being thankful that his wife is awesome.
hardytardigrade
That's true- not my life, not my wife, not my kid. But that's my opinion.
Catnopean
Her husband is far from awesome though.
notaballoon
The newborn stage is the easiest.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
That really depends on the situation. For my second baby, it was by far the hardest. By far.
shrimplyexquisite
It was the hardest for me,I had complications post birth and needed surgery. Was bedridden, then handed a helpless infant. Don't know what /
shrimplyexquisite
I would have done without my husband. He cared for both of us until I could function on my own
humanhotplate
Yeah I was told to wait a few weeks before having visits, because of germs, sleep deprivation and stress, everyone's different I suppose.
k98aj01
After my first, I would have strangled my husband for even suggesting it. After me second, I would not have cared.
KrazyKatWoman
I wouldn't of had it in my house with a newborn, period. Couldn't risk them getting sick. Plus I didn't want to be around people
k98aj01
People stayed away or were sent away if sick. My in laws didn’t meet #2 for weeks due to illness. I understand the concern.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
My second was far worse than my first, super fussy baby. I slept maybe 2 hours total each night, broken up into three naps. That lasted /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
six weeks or so. I was such a wreck that I couldn't do anything for the 3-year-old, so my husband had to handle him. Which was a big job /2
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
as he had anxiety resulting in horrible, hours-long tantrums. /3
k98aj01
My first was a dream baby, it was the birth itself that was agh—his head was so big(3rd degree tear) it was 2.5 hours of pushing. My second

Was an easy birth. I only pushed every other contraction. 5 days after 1, I could barely walk. 5 days after 2 I was like hell that was
TheLumpiestOfSpacePrincesses
It would brighten her day for you to take over a night feeding so she can sleep too
teardropivyyearofthetiger
She takes care of the input, you should take care of some outputs.
nonamejanie
This is the exact reason I did not breast feed. So my husband could equally be sleep deprived! Like for real.
somethinggoodandcatchy
You gave up all the benefits of brest feeding so your husband could be tired?
PrincessKuzco
Yea cuz it's not like he contributed to the situation or anything, why should he be tired too? /S
nonamejanie
No I also have bipolar disorder and post partum psychosis after having a kid. Sleep deprivation causes me to cycle severely.
nonamejanie
It’s what worked for us.
msmoxxxy
The benefits are wildly over stated. Hubby being able to chip in is a massive bonus to formula feeding
BecauseOfTheWayItIs
What?! That's one of the most ignorant blanket statements I've ever read on this website. "Wildly over stated". Ugh.
msmoxxxy
long term studies find that baby's who were exclusively breastfed and those who were formula fed show no significant cognitive variation
JupitersWitch
Their boobs, their choice. Pressure to breast feed and shaming people for not doing it is no different than sexual harassment. Just stop.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
If she's breastfeeding, that's not always an option. Also I took parental leave and my husband didn't so it only made sense for me to do /1
KingdomOfDimensions
A mix of formula and breastfeeding can work, but the leave situation makes sense.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I had enough milk to pump and bottlefeed, and did so sometimes with my first. But I'd have to wake up in the middle of the night to pump /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
anyway, so there was no point in my husband getting up to feed the baby while I pumped. And feeding is more comfortable than pumping, /2
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
too. My second refused a bottle so it wasn't even an option. /3
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
it since he had to go to work. 3 years later and I'm still sleep-deprived though. :( /2
definitelynotawolf
ILoveSpicyPeople
Pump! Get your kid used to a bottle and your nipple.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I never found this made things easier though. I still had to pump in place of a feeding, so if it was middle of the night I still had to /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
get up. And pumping is more of a pain than feeding. It's more uncomfortable, takes longer, and you have to go put the milk in the fridge /2
TheLumpiestOfSpacePrincesses
I did the same with my first and went crazy. Learned to pump and introduce bottle earlier w/ my second for my own sanity.
ILoveSpicyPeople
It’s really the same thing to do. Try to get them to take both. Otherwise you’re just a milk machine.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
My second wouldn't take a bottle. And breast-fed nonstop. We found out later that her ears were blocked and infected, but she didn't have /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
any noticeable symptoms in her first year. Including my dr checking her ears at every visit. So she was insanely fussy, probably because /2
godskook
My sister was telling me that breast milk reacts to health issues in the baby, making consistent direct breast feeding desirable. She 1/2

also pumped though, cause it made things like letting me babysit more practical. 2/2

Nah, she let him have his D&D session so the father could see the baby.
ImJustSoFckingSickOfThisBllsht
Sorry, but you're living in an age where IT rules everything and your average D&D player has a much higher salary than you.

My husband and I are in a group together! We’re nerds. It’s a fun group activity where we get to see our friends but still be together.
