"The wife and I".........UGH!!
word to the wise wrote:
Regardless of the semantics, you guys need to be careful to go out of your way and do absolutely everything you can to be the husband you need to be and the father you need to be at that time. It's a unique time in your wife's life and if you botch it by not being supportive enough and caring enough, she will get hurt and it will be *very* difficult for you to ever overcome the marriage problems stemming from that. Yes, your wife is most likely going to be very emotional and hormonal. She'll even seem psycho at times. Everything about her life is changing. Her body will never be the same. Her role in this world will never be independent of children any more. Her hormones will be doing crazy things to her mind and feelings. It's not just squeezing out a pup and sticking a bottle in its mouth and changing its diapers. You must step up and love, support, and prioritize your wife and newborn unlike any other time in your life. I'm telling you. If you don't, it's highly unlikely you will ever have a happy marriage again. Your wife needs you and deserves you more at this time than any other time in your life.
Go above and beyond. Spend the money on the nursery furniture for her, even if you don't think you have the money. Absolutely do not miss the childbirth. Stay up late with the newborn, even if you have to work the next day, to give your wife some rest. And read up on post-partum depression. It's a real thing and you need to recognize it. This will be one of the most turbulent times in the life of your wife, and your marriage, and yet one of the most memorable and life-changing times in her life. Go out of your way to do absolutely everything you can to make it the happiest time in the life of your wife. Twenty years from now when you still have a happy marriage instead of filing for divorce, you can thank me then.
You're welcome.
So you want to bring up the real man thing again? Ok
A REAL MAN must do the following (but there are exceptions, look later for them):
1) Be married.
2) Have 2-4 kids that you support finaicially and emotionally. Less than 2 kids is not enough, and more than 4 means that your time is spread out too much.
3) Must be a GOOD father.
4) Must respect the children's mother, and in most cases, all children must come from the same woman - the woman you are married to.
Exceptions:
1) Anyone who has served in the military is a real man, no matter what.
2) Anyone who has had to overcome a physical disability is a real man.
3) Anyone who cares for another human being who is physically or emotionally disabled is a real man.
Who can't be a REAL MAN:
1) Single men who work only to support themselves.
2) Women. Sorry, but women can't be men - even with surgery.
What about "My better half is prego"?

Fine, fine.
My whore wife got pregnant after I inserted my magnum dong into her vagina, banged her for 30 seconds, and deposited a huge load inside her. Of course, it turns out she was banging two other dudes at the time, so I can't be sure the little rat bastard's even mine.
Happy?
"My old woman is in a delicate condition"?
The WE also refers to the interfering newly-anointed wise-one, her mother.

Not that its a big deal, but it slightly annoys me as well. It appears to be more of an gen-X and millennial thing, old school and cool young guys don't talk like that. I understand where they are coming from with the term, but its kind of stupid as matter of fact.
"Wifey has a bun in the oven"?
