Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Congrats! Reddit sucks but /r/daddit has a wealth of knowledge and a supportive user base.
So.. for me this is what I did beforehand.
Bought a rechargeable fan that'll hook onto the bedframe at the hospital.
Bought her some cooling packs for her nether regions. Post birth needs a bunch of stuff. Sits bath items, Hemorrhoid wipes / cream. Etc
I bought my own dad bag. So we both were prepared. I kept a change of clothes for all of us in each car
I bought cloth diapers to be used as burp cloths. Buy a lot of them. And don't buy the expensive burp cloths. https://a.co/d/apyEjCv is what I bought.
Additionally they make great rags later. I'm into cast iron and I use them for seasoning rags.
Packing cubes the small ones keep stuff together. I keep desitin diapers and powder in the same container for ease of access. https://a.co/d/4qOrfgW for example
Bought these for powder on the go. https://a.co/d/i1zunEZ Because powder containers are huge.
It's difficult and sucks quite often. but it's so rewarding. One of the manliest things I've ever done was feed my newborn moms milk at 230am while she was sleeping.
Good luck op!
Edit: feel free to dm me if you'd like
Also Go out to eat now. Go to the movies. Watch a TV show. Sit in silence.. Be out and about with friends.
It get a lot more difficult after the kiddo.
