Dudescape to Dadscape

I caught this article linked by the fine people of BicoastalBitchin.

Alls I gotta say is that the writer hit the nail right flat on the head.  This was my favorite sentence:

When baby makes three, the abrupt lifestyle change spells an end to these spontaneous expeditions.

Age three is the magic number, and it’s a dad thing, almost exclusively.  Wives and women are cool checking with the singles, adjusting to the schedule, embarking on the same activities.  But for guys, the party begins to end when the baby first comes, as you get used to changing diapers, feeding the baby, putting the baby to sleep, etc.  The party completely ends at 3.  You’re no longer the same person.  Dude, meet yourself.
