Ya, agreed.
Same goes for me with my child.
If you have the formula family time = fun time and game time = fun time...
And of course gaming also means analog gaming ;)

I fully understand the parent thing, but the problems at age 3 only get bigger as they get older. Good luck. Duct tape does solve some problems. I am looking forward to starting all over again with the grand-kids soon (maybe soon)

She likes books, dinosaurs, toy cars, jigsaw puzzles, various games with colors, as well as playing outdoors.

My kind of kid! Happy Birthday Aurora and Tov, good luck with the next years ;)
The only extended experience I have with kids are with my nephew and niece and I remember their 4th and 5th year with fondness but I was glad to bring them back home to their parents after they had drained me lol

But I can tell you've already done a great job so keep up the good work ;)

Any parenting tips you can give? I'm not sure if i'm ready to be a parent myself, but it is definitely gonna be helpful if i do become one :)

Also, happy birthday to Aurora! It's nice to see that you're so caring to her. She must be lucky to have you.

Actually, I don't believe there are many tips to give. Kids are so different. The only thing you might should think about is, what kind of person you what to send in this world. Patients and love are more requirements than tips ;)

i see. I thought becoming a parent won't allow me to have freedom anymore. That's interesting. It sure is taking a lot of energy though, both mentally and physically. I'm so proud of parents like you who are dedicated to do that.

The freedom question kinda answers itself. Of course you change your life, because it is all about the sweet and beautiful little life you are taking care of from that point on. But the thing is: you really want to do all that :). I guess the difficult time will come, when they get rebellious...

I heard the first few months are kinda hell for taking care of a baby. This will be really helpful in case i have a baby in the future. Thanks for letting me know! :)

Love your kid(s). Thats the most important thing.

Nearly all other build up on that.

Don't read a lot of books and magazines what you should do, i done that and stressed myself a lot with it because the books and magazines tell you often complete opposite stuff (to my luck had the mother of my son 3 other kids and were much more relaxed about him and the birth), because each kid are different, each parent are different, each interaction between them are different.
It will "magical" work very well and you will know mostly very good what to do or not to do is correct.

The only real advice i can give (for all ages of the kid) are:
Set borders/rules and demand them each day the same and not one day this way, one day different.
It cost sometimes a lot of energy but it lowers the stress extremly and saves a lot of energy in the long run :o)
Don't get me wrong, kids test from time to time if the rules are still the same but only half hearted if they don't expect that they have changed and much lesser as without clear rules. And on the other side if you haven't clear rules you will have a little monster that fight like the devil to get the sweets, not need to sleep, want to look TV now and so on

Whoa, i didn't expect that. I thought it will help you to prepare when you have a children later on. I guess learning and doing is the best method, huh?

Also, thanks! I'll keep that in mind. :)

My advice would be: don't stress about it. Especially at the start, everything will be new and you will worry about everything, and everyone (personally, on internet articles, TV, ...) will tell you what to do.

Parents of a first child always stress. On a third child you'd be like "oh, there's a cut", put some bandaid on it and it'd heal. On the first child it's like "oh, my God, she cut her head! Rush her to A&E!"

Anyway, my point is, yes, it's worth looking after a child, giving them attention, making sure that they're okay, have friends, learn things, are active, etc. On the other hand, it doesn't really matter in the long run if you give them specific developmental toys or how many, obsess about what kindergarten they'd go to, etc.

Sure, you need to make sure they're okay. If some caretaker isn't taking good care and you see signs on your kid, act. If you think that your child isn't learning much, you can teach them, direct them, get them extracurricular activities if they're interested. But don't micromanage them.

As I see it, in the end the parent's job is to make sure a kid grows up to be happy and someone who makes the world a better place in their small way. It doesn't really matter if they attend the most prestigious school or grows up to do a specific job.

haha, i can imagine that it's so hard to expect anything if you haven't experienced it before.
I see. So you just need to look after them and support them, huh? Got it! Thanks :)

Your kids will reflect what they see in you. If you are anxious and afraid, they will likely grow up the same way. If you are angry and yell a lot, they will consider that normal. They are sponges-- not just for knowledge and info, but also for outlook, attitude, and how to treat others. Whatever issues you have will come out in trying to raise a child. So try to get as many of your issues resolved as possible (or at least identified and contained) before projecting it upon your child. Given that you aren't sure if you're ready to be a parent, you appear to have an intuitive understanding of this, which puts you one step ahead of the game.

Finally, my favorite parenting quote (may not have the wording exactly right)-- "Their inner voice will be yours." If you tell them they're stupid, they'll tell themselves that in moments of doubt. If you tell them they're no good, they'll feel that way deep inside. If you love them and tell them they are deserving of love, they will feel deserving of love.

That's a good point. I can understand how you meant by that. I absorbed a few things when i was a child until now.
Now i know why parents always say that their child are handsome and beautiful even though they look normal, hahah.

Thanks for the advice!
