pearllyn Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Sure you can - all you need is an extra set of eyes, located in the back of your head, and 2 extra pairs of hands and your sorted! Good luck, let us know how you come on - if you survive that is!! Lol just kidding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Yay! All that means is you'll be asking us girls here how to stay on the forum while you have a bird on your shoulder, a baby in your arms, spit up all over you, laundry to do food to clean up and cook, etc... Oh, this is going to be fun......pics please!! Seriously though, this will be the best time of your life with your baby. Enjoy every minute, they grow up in a blink of an eye. My 4 babies are now 21, 17, 15, 11... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Oh you can do it Paul! My son has a 10 month-old little boy that he cares for while his wife is at work. Then he goes to work at night. Men can multitask when they need to so buck up you'll be fine!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme575 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Whew Paul! I'm glad it's you and not me buddy! LOL! Sorry, I'll just support you from a distance, I can barely handle the Grey, the thought of adding a baby and house chores in to the mix, I'm overwhelmed already! Your a stronger man than me!!! Good for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JillyBeanz Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Just don't go doing what my dad did one year when my mam went Christmas shopping and left him with me (7 years old) and my sister (5 years old). He is not known for his culinary excellence (he could burn water) and managed to cook me and my sister some soup for lunch (tinned of course). To our horror (even at 7 and 5) my dad served us this lovely soup IN THE DOG'S PLASTIC BOWLS!!!! Tupperware was all the rage in 1981 - but not to share between your kids and dog!!! Make sure you have Kate on speed dial - you're a bloke - you'll never cope!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggieroo Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Well I ordered the extra set of eyes & another pair of hands from ebay & they arrived this morning so it's all good So far I have managed to feed Ella-Rose, Murphy & myself with breakfast, change a nappy, process my orders on my website, answer some emails, make a pot of tea & get bitten by Murphy..........these extra pair of hands have came in handy :rolleyes: Oh I've just realised that is only about 5% of what I have to do today:eek: Have a shower, walk the dog, clean the cage, dress my Daughter, change another nappy etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc...........................Oh & have some fun! I'm sure I'll be fine, after all I'm a 21st century man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Welcome to our world... You sound like your doing great! I'm very happy for you. Your wife is a very lucky lady... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggieroo Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Doing good so far, baby fed changed & now having her afternoon nap. Took the time to scoot round with our new handheld & give the place a tidy. Murphy is now stuffing his face very quietly & Ella-Rose is fast asleep Peace! I can now have an hour to myself. All I can say is well done Kate (my Fiancee) for doing such a good job this last 6 months, it's not easy. Also much respect to all the ladies who have done this for years. Oh.........that hour I just mentioned............no so, Ella-Rose just woke up :rolleyes: See ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 You can do it and we Fems will talk you through it, get your Grey to assist with the multitasking, it can be fun chopping veggies and wiping gooey fingers with a feathered supervisor . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'd say well done to Paul, but here in the UK it's 7.12pm and he's likely to be in bed after such a hectic day!! Oh well, never mind, he's clearly survived today - there's always tomorrow!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtreme575 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Jeez! I'm exhausted just reading about it. I just cooked some chicken, folded laundry, and did a quick steam clean on the hardwood around the cage and I'm pooped! I admire you, and yes, the female members of this forum are all multi-talented, they'll give you home advice if you need it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggieroo Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm exhausted too, I'm what you call a night owl & didn't go to bed till 1.30am & that was early for me but my daughter.........well after Kate went to work at 7.30am this morning Ella-Rose wanted her breakfast bless her. I'd normally be getting up about now (9.30am) having 8 hours sleep, how I'm I meant to multi task with only 6 hours sleep...........? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
