as per the topic above, i'm a newly minted dad well more like a few months.. finding it hard to make time to go to gym.. wanna get tips for all those fathers and how they cope ...

bring your child to gym.

hazardous, what if a 20kg dumbbell felt on the child.

My cousin, just told his wife "2 hours, is all I ask for in a day. Please? Honey?" and bought her a new Toyota Yaris as a gift.

Along with the Yaris came, "I don't have to change diapers", "I'm allowed to go out with the boys on Saturdays" and "You'll get up when she cries at night"

He got the gym and the Saturdays (alternate weekends). Others were rejected.

WTF. Bringing up a child is responsiblity of both parent. Throwing everything at your wife is running away from responsibility. Even if you have the money to hire a maid, that is not the point (and frankly...NEVER TRUST A MAID WITH YOUR CHILD...too many freaking horror stories being told and saw on Youtube), being a father is not easy. Both parents must share responsibility of taking care of the child.

Sure it is tough, but your child will have a special bonding with you if you take up your responsibility. This is what we call sacrifices. Don't be a jerk. Screw wan. Take care of the child, dun wan. Don't memalukan the rest of the males!

My five year old son adores both my wife and me equally. And now as he grows older, it is even more fun as i can share more activities with him...like playing piano etc etc. It is something money can never buy.

Clearly you're not from our family tree if you don't know how to read the jokes in between. I wish you well and happy and better tempers and ability to read btwn the lines.

I'll help you dissect the joke.

The car is a gift because she likes the Toyota Yaris. She thinks it looks like my cousin.

He bought it for her. And he asked for 4 things, no diaper change, hangout with the boys (Includes us), no waking up in the middle of the night and gym time for 2 hours.

She rejected 2 and gave him 2.

He said "Bah..."

Now he's an expert in changing diapers and even told us about how diapers can actually break if you don't "tapau" it properly. Don't worry, we're a pretty stable family.

Lol dam random.

LOL

LOL, now weather so hot ar.....but seriously, everybody knows its a joke rite? y he's so panas?

Stick to the topic guise

Any dads around?

im not a dad but here's a general observation though from my gym friends whom mostly are fathers to more than 1-2kids

i) the good dads usually stick to the basic routines and do it no qualms attached
ii) the i dont care dads will stay and play and chit chat and stay around even after the gym closes for another round of chit chat at mamak downstairs until its 12am
iii) usually these dads they'll have experiences in having mistresses since they are in awe of their pseudo good physique and at times will have a fight at the stairs leading to the gym either because of either the wife found out about his other trophy or his new sex partner is not feeling easy cuz he's giving more attention to the wife
iv) the children are idiots cuz they are not being provided with proper care
v) the dads arent properly educated on h&F cuz they are inspired by the so called big and strong young ones in the gym (whom either relied on test or just big cuz of genetics but bench pressed 100kgs with full support)

thats my observation really...but they are still my friends nonetheless

I'm a dad. I ask my wife to take care of my 1 year old son when I go jogging and do some body weight exercise.

ok.. since not many dads around i'll just share my experience first...

my baby is now 8 months.. and we take care of the child at night.. day time its with the baby sitter. my routine, whenever i am able to get away from the office exactly at 5 .30 pm , is reaching gym about 6 pm, workout 1 hour then go home for dinner, pick up the kid about 7.30 and reach home about 8.. giving me 1 hour bonding time before kid is put to bed..

however, a lot of the time due to work constraints and the traffice condition have to sacrifice gym time .. people have commented i'm seemed to have shrunk....

when push come to shove, my kid will take precedence but i'm trying to find a balance and hope get some pointers from other dads in here...

assuming from ur post, the kid sleeps at 9?
Issit possible to gym after the kid goes to bed? but you'll need to find a gym that actually opens till late. i think CF opens till midnight.
FF opens till 11pm.
CF might be the better choice especially if its near your house too.

0800-1800 : Office
1830-1930 : W/O
2000-2015 : Dinner
2015-2230 : Play with kids
2230-2245 : Supper
2245-2330 : Play with kid's mom
2345-0645 : Sleep

This cracked the crap out of me. LOL.

hoho your gym on what's planet bro ?? that's not happening here...

i'm a father of 2 (coming soon, the 3rd one on June)...working in a shift...currently on 3 day split, 1 hour for each sessions...

i fix my gyming time @ 8.30 pm...pickup my children @ 6 pm...squeeze my available time in between with having dinner and check their homework...

you can do it...just need to try harder to manage your time...

p/s : what's traffic jam ?? i am mat rempit...LOL
