Practicing my grumpy old man thing since I was in 3rd grade even before KC was in 3rd grade.
It's a milestone, have fun!
I actually babysat once for some friends first night out. They were going to run out quick for a first supper alone after the baby and their babysitter bailed. Most of their friends were boozy/drugged out party animals except for me and neither had family here so, they called me, Mr. 30-Something Single Guy. They weren't gone but maybe 2-3 hours and got back just before I was going to have to tackle a diaper change (yay!). Compared to their regular friends I was a logical choice being, in comparison, a regular Boy Scout, but it was still a nice vote of confidence to be trusted with someones little infant. Sometimes being old boring trustworthy Charlie Brown is a-okay.
Not only that, Boxster, it's awesome. As simple as that sounds, to do that for your friends is beyond just 'hey, I babysat for them'...you gave them a night alone, together. And despite the fact that they were probably still worrying (OK, mom was, dad was prolly all "Yeeaahhh, I get my woman back"), the fact that you could be the person that let them relax enough to even attempt it means something. Not having family around can make that hard, but having good friends is invaluable.
The problem is underlined. The solution is bolded.
Haha yeah. We debated not going but figured my parents can probably handle it.
Along with the whole trusting others with your child I have been thinking about how we need to make a will. So in the unfortunate circumstance that we would not be here to raise him. Who do we trust to raise him how we would like? My wife has siblings that would do great in every aspect but money.
Seriously, how did you know? Picture of my friends toddler Olivia checking out the Boxster "baby seat". Rest assured, she did grow some hair later.

Do it...lesson learned, we did one after our first child with legalzoom, and it was okay, but with the second, we updated it with a local attorney, and felt the product we got was well worth the extra expense (but it really wasn't that much more expensive).
Good luck. The first time is pretty hard. I think I held my phone the entire time.
I would assume there would be some type of insurance money going to baby if you both died? Is there a way you can set up a will that they would have custody but some of the insurance money goes to a trust or something like that?
I've thought about stuff like this too - obvious choice is grandparents since they live close to each other (but which ones actually get custody, my parents work on the farm so no childcare would be needed) But I wouldn't want them going to school in that area, I think. I guess having familiar people around is probably more important. Age would matter too. It's a tricky thing that you don't really want to think about.
Looks like the men went a little nuts last night. :spinny: At least it was safe fun. Wound up with a neighbor calling me around midnight to take her kids because she was in labor and the husband wasn't returning her calls out at some bar.
My husband took her to the hospital. Neighbor really knows how to man up. Long night.

Sir, I've uncovered what's causing that rattle in your engine
Yes, we all wore protection (I think, no way to confirm). :wink:Looks like the men went a little nuts last night. :spinny: At least it was safe fun.

Nice of your neighbor's husband to be going to the bar with a 9-month pregnant wife at home. What a ******* move.
If both of us go he would have a very significant chunk of change. We will go to a lawyer and get it all set up.
I will probably get over ruled and the kids will end up with one of her siblings.
