Sounds like you've got everything you need to flourish in your new role. And I think it's fine to show action movies at any time from about five-years old on.

I saw Terminator 2 at 5 years old and it changed my life.

Awesome. Wish I had this perspective going into fatherhood. Best of luck to you and your family.

Thanks! Check on me when I’m two weeks into sleep deprivation to see if the perspective is still holding.

Congratulations! My oldest child turned 14 this year, and by the grace of God, I still don't know what I'm doing. Being a parent is nuts, but it's a wonderful vocation. You, your wife, and your son are in my prayers. I'll look forward to reading your comeback post!

Thank you. It’s relieving (terrifying?) to know that it’s all still a mystery that many years in.

It's like wisdom: If you think you have the answers, you don't. You love your kids, try your best, and let God take care of the rest.

So excited for you! You’re going to walk into that dark, empty room and fall in love in a way you never thought possible. It’s wonderful.

Thanks! We’re giddy with anticipation over here.

Congratulations!

The best parenting wisdom I have is:

1) Get a Costco membership

2) Ikea makes the best baby stuff (the high chair is 🤌)

Thank you! Will keep all of that top of mind.
