I told him I wanted to make sure I was doing fatherhood correctly. He said 'Dad, you lost the instruction manual the day I was born.' Pretty sure he got me there.
Haha lost the instruction manual, that's brutal. My kids hit me with stuff like that all the time and it stings every time. At least you're reading something though, I just wing it and hope for the best.
That's a solid burn from him. Honestly though, winging it is probably the right approach. Nobody really knows what they're doing.
Your kid nailed it. I'm pretty sure the instruction manual gets replaced with pure panic and coffee somewhere around day two. Love the response though.
That's hilarious and also painfully accurate. I'm brand new to all this and some days I feel like I'm making it up as I go anyway.
Kids have the best comebacks. The honest ones hit different. I love that he called you out like that, that's the kind of humor that gets you through the hard days.
This made me laugh out loud. The fact that your kid already knows you're just making it up as you go tells me you're probably doing better than you think.
The instruction manual comment is perfect because honestly there IS no manual that covers half the stuff that comes up. You're doing fine.

That's hilarious and also painfully accurate. We definitely need to come with a manual because nobody tells you anything before the baby arrives. Your kid just roasted you perfectly though.
