That chick I married is leaving town tonight through Sunday. I am left with my offspring and have to fill 3+ days with her. Is the petting zoo still a thing

get a cage and throw a bunch of cheerios in it. Maybe throw a bowl of milk or water in there too. She should be fine for a week I would assume.

Have you thought about peek-a-boo? Try starting with that.

what do you like to do? I'd suggest doing that, the 8 month old is too stupid to complain.

Get a jumparoo (it's a real thing), and set it up next to the TV, but face the kid so it's looking at you, not the TV. Then, play video games and watch TV the entire time, but while talking to your kid in a soothing voice.

This works. Very, very well.

Some of the best parenting advice I've ever heard was a dad I knew who was trying to watch a game and his kid at the same time. He had something like Dora DVR'ed, and if the kid ever tried to leave the room, he would just play the Dora intro to get the kid back, then flip it back to the game.

stupid kid fell for it every time.

Having two little ones the best things you can do are baths and plenty of breast milk. Baby will sleep all weekend. Fuckers love sleep at that age

I remember tons of crap from when I was 8 months old. I still yell at my dad about it. I mean he didn't do the worst job, I just feel there could have been some improvements.

Do you have friends with kids around the same age? Go over there let the kids entertain each other/let your buddy's wife take care of your girl because she doesn't have a girl and really wants one. Sit back and pound beers with your bud.

Not bad, but you'll have to refresh the milk bowl from time to time. Don't want the 8-monther to be chugging down sour milk. Also don't substitute Life cereal for the C'Os or you'll be changing diapers every hour.

No bad advice given.

AppleJack have you thought about cruising P&L and picking up some babes with the little guy?

I'd probably drop the kid off with my mom and go to the bar.
