Hey ... for new parents ... ignore the rude and sarcastic responses by some "experts" on this forum ... I've been where you are, wondering how it all works, what's coming and how best to "be there" for my guy ... and luckily last year another forum provided fantastic support ... WITHOUT the crappy comments from some here ... Too bad that forum is gone...
And I've been on the IMPORTANT end of the phone line, desperate for contact from home, for a familiar voice telling me it's going to be OK, to hear that SOMEONE is proud of me, that this wasn't all one big mistake, that it will all end soon, etc., etc. I know what works best and what is most effective for "the guy" behind the wall.
I've been the one who called home and no one was there through no fault of their own. I survived.
But please, go ahead and ignore what I have to say just because some mommy gets hers in a bunch when told the harsh truth that her baby won't be at her beck and call 24/7 anymore, or that the entire structure of Plebe Summer won't be adjusted to accomodate Mommy and Daddy's work schedules.
What the hell do I know? After all, I just graduated from the place while your kid was still a glint in Daddy's eye. It's not like I have any basis to my rantings.
I'm glad I recently updated my sigline. SO timely.
