Now just go through this checklist
HOW TO KNOW IF YOU ARE READY FOR PARENTHOOD
Preparation for parenthood is not just a matter of reading books and decorating the nursery. Here are twelve simple tests for expectant parents to prepare themselves for the real-life experience of being a mother or father.
1 ....Women: To prepare for maternity, put on a dressing gown and stick a bean bag chair down the front. Leave it there for 9 months. After 9 months, take out 10% of the beans.
2 ....Men: To prepare for paternity, go to the local pharmacy, tip the contents of your wallet on the counter, and tell the pharmacist to help himself. Then go to the supermarket. Arrange to have your salary paid directly to their head office. Go home, pick up the paper. Read it for the last time.
3 ....Before you finally go ahead and have children, find a couple who are already parents and berate them about their methods of discipline, lack of patience, appallingly low tolerance levels, and how they have allowed their children to run riot. Suggest ways in which they might improve their child’s sleeping habits, toilet training, table manners and overall behaviour. Enjoy it – it’ll be the last time in your life that you will have all the answers.
4 ....To discover how the nights will feel, walk around the living room from 5 pm to 10 pm carrying a wet bag weighing approximately 8 ½ lbs. At 10 pm put the bag down, set the alarm for midnight, and go to sleep. Get up at 12 and walk around the living room again, with the bag. till 1 am. Put the alarm on for 3 am. As you can’t get back to sleep get up at 2 am and make a drink. Go to bed at 2.45 am. Get up again at 3 am when the alarm goes off. Sing songs in the dark until 4 am. Put the alarm on for 5 am. Get up. Make breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.
5 ....Can you stand the mess children make? To find out, smear peanut butter onto the sofa and jam onto the curtains. Hide a fish finger behind the stereo and leave it there all summer. Stick your fingers in the flowerbeds then rub them on the clean walls. Cover the stains with crayons. How does that look?
6 ....Dressing small children is not as easy as it seems: first buy an octopus and a string bag. Attempt to put the octopus into the string bag so that none of the arms hang out. Time allowed for this - all morning.
7 ....Take an egg carton. Using a pair of scissors and a pot of paint turn it into an alligator. Now take a toilet tube. Using only scotch tape and a piece of foil, turn it into a Christmas cracker. Last, take a milk container, a ping pong ball, and an empty packet of Coco Pops and make an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower. Congratulations. You have just qualified for a place on the playgroup committee.
8 ....Forget the Falcon and go and buy a Nimbus. And don't think you can leave it out in the driveway spotless and shining. Family cars don't look like that. Buy a chocolate ice cream bar put it in the glovebox and leave it there. Get a twenty cent piece stick it in the cassette player. Take a family size packet of chocolate biscuits, mash them down the back seats. Run a garden rake along both sides of the car, there perfect.
9 ....Get ready to go out: Wait outside the toilet for half an hour. Go out the front door. Come in again, go out, come back in, go out again, walk down the front path. Walk back up it, walk back down it again. Walk down the road for 5 minutes. Stop to inspect minutely every cigarette end, piece of used chewing gum, dirty tissue and dead insect along the way.
10 ....Always repeat everything you say at least 5 times.
11 ....Go to your local supermarket. Take with you the nearest thing you can find to a pre-school child - a fully grown goat is excellent. If you intend to have more than one child, take more than one goat. Buy your week’s groceries without letting the goats out of your sight. Pay for everything the goats eat or destroy. Until you can easily accomplish this do not even contemplate having children.
12 ....Hollow out a melon. Make a small hole in the side. Suspend it from the ceiling and swing it from side to side. Now get a bowl of soggy Weetbix and attempt to spoon it into the swaying melon by pretending to be an airplane. Continue until half the Weetbix is gone. Tip the rest into your lap, making sure that a lot of it falls on the floor. You are now ready to feed a 12 month old baby.
13 ....Learn the names of every character from Postman Pat, Fireman Sam and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. When you find yourself singing “Postman Pat” at work, you finally qualify as a parent.

My dad used to say: 'little children, little problem, big children ...'
If you'd like to get educated about the joys of parenthood, my I suggest a pregnancy book written especially for blokes:
"You're pregnant too mate!" by Gavin Rodgers.
Good, light-hearted read for the blokes. If you want to borrow it, PM me. Are you still in Alexandra Hills?
Cheers
