Why did I become such a puss after marriage and children?

[aerialmedical]

I still need my occasional day fishing/brewing/drinking with the guys, but most of the time I'd rather be with my girls. My girls are the best!

Amen, brotha!

 

[seabass07]

Definitely just a change in priorities. Not pussification. Of course I am not surrounded by pink crap since I have 2 boys and a wife that hates pink. I would say the family life has made me lame. No time to hang out with friends anymore and the idea of getting trashed and waking up in strange places no longer seems appealing.

I still can't deal with romantic comedies so I know my nuggets are still intact.

 

[aerialmedical]

I know a guy that can help you out aerial medical, not very sanitary but has loads of experience. I just can’t sit here and watch this happen to a fellow El Pasoan.

PM sent.

If you “gotta” ask “ya” don’t “wanna” know.

I'm in the same boat I got 2 little girls in the house and a crazy wife so everything in my house is pink. The brewing helps me feel manly and now that I'm out of the military my beard helps too. But I have realized married people are just not cool. We all think things are cool that we never would have when single like getting a new knife set or redoing the bath room but we are better people now I think

I hear what you're saying there. I'm raising a boy and a girl (mom left the scene). I have a huge desire to maintain a "normal" upbringing for them so I often have to act as both dad and mom for them. I've always known how to cook, but even more so now. I'm getting pretty good at baking. My kids think my biscuits and gravy are the best there is in the world. I've actually done a decent job of choosing colors for painting the house. And I hate to say it, but I actually did get a little excited when I bought my Wusthof knife set. Never thought I'd see the day...

But as other people have said, I feel justified in my manliness with my homebrew. That and my motorcycle. With loud pipes. In my garage full of tools.

But I still have to say that I have NEVER seen "You've got mail" and "Sleepless in Seattle". I refuse. And I've even left a friends house when his wife tried to get me to watch Sleepless. That's where I draw the line - "chick flicks".

I think your man card just got stamped for extra manliness! Nothing more manly than taking care of your kids and doing it on your own.

 

[paulthenurse]

Why did I become such a puss after marriage and children? My balls shrunk...weren't they supposed to get bigger as I aged, like the flavor of a good homebrew?

Because your name is not really aerialmedical, its really Yeager and you opened up a ghost account so we wouldn't know it's you.

Sorry Chris, I saw right through your game.

[JoeyChopps]

Of course not.....my wife gets taste of home and yes I get excited by the cover and it doesn't even have a chick on it just food

Well yeah dude...I was referring to the foodie-ness and homei-ness of it....not the Rachael-ness of it...haha.

 

[paulthenurse]

You keep telling yourself that...

(shaking my head in slack jawed disbelief)

 

[Flomaster]

If you “gotta” ask “ya” don’t “wanna” know.

if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

My wife doesn't get Rachael Ray's mag. I do love it when her issue of SI shows up each week.

 

[flatrockbrewing]

Good thread name i was wonder the same thing about myself lately. Married 5 years with 3 kids under the age of 5..

 

[jmendez29]

Awww, man. Why you gotta be like that?

No SWMBO at the moment. Got a GF but she hasn't reached SWMBO status yet. And for the record, the only magazines I get each month are Men's Fitness, Family Handyman, and of course BYO.

 

[JoeyChopps]

Don't knock it bro if u live long enough u too will get excited about stuff like that too or get excited about a new set of sheets or a new pots and pans set

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

SWMBO bought me some new pillows this weekend! FTW

 

[IrregularPulse]

Don't knock it bro if u live long enough u too will get excited about stuff like that too or get excited about a new set of sheets or a new pots and pans set

New sheets rock!

But so does the Super Soaker Cannon I got for father's day

 

[JoeyChopps]

I got t shirts and a bar b q cook book and was stoked

 

[HokieBrewer]

I actually prefer that my SWMBO acts like a girl rather than belching loudly and challenging me to arm wrestling matches. YMMV.

 

[El Pistolero]

New pots and pans, yes get excited. But new sheets? Dude, grow a pair.

 

[aerialmedical]

After a gruelling day of brewing, you're gonna want a nice night's sleep, right??

 

[JoeyChopps]

Yeah plus everyone knows u get to break in the sheets

Ever use a stress ball? Shrinking ballage is a side-effect constant ball squeezing or busting.

Only way theyre gettin bigger is if you get kicked in em.

If you have the wife rub them a little, they should grow back...

I read a study somewhere a few months ago that after kids males produce less testosterone. they tried to say it was an evolutionary thing that it wasn't as necessary, they also said womens crying caused the test production to slow down which was to cause males to back down. anyways thats all a bunch of bull-ish.

its cause you wanna keep the peace. its just not worth the fight. b/c they can fight and fight and fight and just never seem to have a problem always being selfish or wrong.

 

[viking73]

I was told we couldn't afford a motorcycle. Now I HAVE to buy it just to keep my testes in their proper place.
