Single. Got to say, talking to a bunch of married guys I teach today made me appreciate that it's better to stay single until someone who's decently in synch with you comes along. Those guys talk like they're on work release from prison. I kid you not, one guy said he dreams of being able to spend just one day in an internet cafe watching movies and dicking about by himself.
Single.
I'll probably be single and alone for the rest of my life. Like Captian Kirk said: "I've always known that I'll die alone." I've learned to accept that.
Please visit Outlaw Colony my new message board it's a fun site for fun people.
I went to where Hound was living in September of 2011, was engaged by November, and married by March 2012. So, yeah... it can happen faster than you think.

I don't really interact much with either of you, but I've been seven years on this tiny site so all of you seem familiar anyway. Congrats and also know that this is the most adorable goddamn thing ever.

Did you have a baby yet? If not, try that again, if you have a 3 weeks old baby which somehow likes sleeping in day more than at night and likes crying every hour and you seem helpless to stop the crying and you have to go to work every day.
Sades, all the best, hope your's is more livable with than our's at this time. My wife at least has been in tears not only once due to overwhelming lack of sleep and feel of being a bad mother...

Wow, I didn't realize you guys were so complete so fast - congrats! :afro::cheers: Concurrence about the fast; was living with "Mys Baby" within two months, engaged in less than four... Now married seven and a half years, kids aged five years and four+ months....
Addl- There are times when I'm scared shitless tbh, but once the rugrat is born we're going to stay with my parents awhile and I'm going to be taking advantage of my mother's expertise for a few months (for about as long as I can stand being at home/they can stand having me). Beyond that, my best friend has two kids of her own and I know a bunch of women who've already gone this road, so hopefully we won't run short of people we can call when we don't know how to get ours to stop screaming either. :/
There's a bunch of websites specifically for women with new babies with forums and stuff that you can read- it helps when you've got a problem and find out that other people have had the exact same problem. You feel less alone/might possibly find a solution to whatever problem you're having, that sort of thing.

From what I gather from a colleague being mothered by older women in the office, three weeks is probably too soon but ultimately just let the kid get used to being on its own and wait it out. Giving it a parental jumper for the scent is also recommended.
Ja, we also read a lot in different forums the past weeks, but still being on your own in a different culture and all friends / family who could assist you half around the world away does not make it easier.
The jumper / sleeper cloth is good idea, but she cries even when wie try any position to lay her down, feeding, etc. It is not just the lack of parental closeness.
To be honest, it's probably going to take at least another month before she stops crying any time she's aware she's not being held and/or fed, and another month after that to get used to the idea that the food and the attention are coming back and get into a bit of a routine.
Looks like the royal family are jumping on your bandwagon and knocking out a little sprog of their own. Prince William obviously badly wants to be Hound.
