comment Should I expect a boy to ask me for permission for prom?
It'd be nice if he did, but I don't think that's the norm anymore. A bit of a relic from a few generations ago.

comment Dad-to-be needs help finding a changing table
Not much use for a changing table after the diapers are done, though. Hence the decision to purchase something repurposable.

comment Dad-to-be needs help finding a changing table

comment Credibly backing out of a condition for a reward
