I think that might be where I "earmuff" the kid and let them know just how great I think their advice is :) I have heard rumors of strangers who feel the need to give you parenting advice.

Just wait til you meet contestant #3: the old biddy in the grocery store who looks at you like a perv for taking your baby girl shopping. If she gets past the dirty look, she will also tell you how your child is hungry/tired/thirsty/overfed/underfed/overdressed/underdressed or whatever her particular field of expertise was 40 years ago.

My wife sits on the couch and pumps while we watch tv. I still chuckle because the pump sounds like a little Japanese girl giggling. . . I guess I’m getting immune to it.

I always feel uncomfortable when they do it in front of me. There is nothing like walking in a room and seeing the boob of someone that you know. In any other circumstance you know there would be screams and parts being quickly covered up. Breastfeeding is a wonderful thing and I applause anyone that does it, but I don't think I will ever feel 100% comfortable in a room with someone breast feeding. Makes me glad I have a boy. :D

My girls are 9 and 12 now and I remember that time in the hospital but so much has happened since then that it doesn't seem like it was a big deal. At the time, I know it was. All I can tell you is having daughters is amazing. As their Dad, you will rock! My tweens are starting to have struggles with mom, but I am the apple of their eyes. Can't wait to read more of your adventures! Thanks for visiting my blog Adam and congrats on being a new Dad!

I will step up to the plate if I need to fetch tapons, or have that ultimate of awkward moments where we have to discuss sex. But that does mean that I can't have convulsions of anxiety, fear and disgust inside! Let’s get something straight Ciara. . .I’m a man!
