Babysitting Jason (ABDL, Adult Baby, Age Play)

---

I am trying to get something of my own off the ground Launching soon! I'm extremely happy I built my online business a couple years ago before becoming a dad. There's also that new parent learning curve. My 3 month old has changed how I look at just about everything in this short amount of time. I will say that with me running an online business it was very nice to basically take off 3 months while she was on maternity leave to figure out this baby taking care of biz together. My young sons like to participate in what I am doing or at least copy what I am doing. Making time and room to help them feel involved is good for me and good for them.

Atlas is so cute. I don't have kids yet as I've always been apprehensive of the shitty return policy. This article helps me realise how it could be with a kid around and also some good business lessons too. My survival strategy was a mix of your 1 and 6 -- have things you do while the kid is awake, and things you do while the kid is asleep. Don't let them cross hemispheres -- e. I can within reason reply to emails, clean the spills, etc. I don't try to do real work when he's up, and I don't waste time on dishes when he's asleep.

And, wonder of wonders, there are some tasks that don't actually have to get done, ever! Laundry basket full of clean pajamas, I'm looking at you! Agree with all the points. Those are the things you don't realize until you really try it - with own kids or at least for a few days as you did, Noah. Experiencing it every day: Sometimes I envy young startup-er, how easy they have it. But then, I believe kids give me greater motivation to move further.

Cause I develop my business not only to do my passion and earn money for life, but to ensure future for them. And that pushes me to think really long-term. I started my first business when my firstborn was two years old Since then, I've had two more children, have started three more businesses, and sold two of them. The businesses, not the kids. I must admit, I take great pleasure in watching people discover the joys of having a business AND a child.

Best thing about you, Noah is - you can share great "Business Tips" from anything and everything you do! I am going to write a blog post, "How I met Noah Kagan? Well, the fun parts to me are how quickly they learn. Both know what it means to have a successful day which they both let me know, 7 and 5 year olds, they had successful first days of school. This really made me laugh - "I realized after I fed him 4 ounces of food that he would fall asleep sooner".

Love reading your stuff Noah, always insightful and actionable. These are the tips that entrepreneur fathers need, tips that help them be engaged and intentional in the role as both fathers and business owners. Too many fathers give into the pull toward their work and away from their kids. Thanks for the positive word toward encouraging young fathers. I am a mother of four beautiful children.

I felt so blessed by having them I know it was not an easy task.. Many have judged me of my busyness or my business.. I just continue in finding ways to meet with our daily needs. I need to triple time so i could provide them That in every proble: Yeah, it's pretty tough once you have a kid to focus on business, but you make a good point about the power of focus.

Noah, the time I quit my day job was the time my wife found out she was pregnant. But working from home as a self-employed entrepreneur dad has been amazing. Yes, it has challenges, and time constraints, but it's so gratifying. And I get to be at home to watch my baby girl grow. As a parent and entrepreneur, my advice is: It might sound contrary to some of your points, but here's the deal. Knowing when to focus on family alone, and when it's okay to multi-task or work extra hours -- that is the key for me.

The value of sleep goes up when you're a parent. Good callout Nate - kids are smart, and generic answers while your head is in your laptop or smart phone will only get you and them so far. My kids teach me how to focus on the important things. I have two kids so my time is limited. I have to focus on the important things otherwise I will miss out on opportunities to make progress in my business.

I try to spend quality time with them when they are awake and when my wife is awake. When they go to bed I work hard with as much focus I can possibly have after working a full day at my full-time job. When you're a parent hustling is doubled! Great post and great comments. As an entrepreneur and father of 7 year old twins, it's been an interesting journey. I wouldn't change a thing well, except for some of the stupid business mistakes I've made but it is demanding.

No matter what anyone says, there are 24 hours in a day, and a limited number of days in your life. Make sure you do what's really important, not just at work having kids and getting rid of our nanny really helped with the prioritization but in life. I actually wrote a post about this in response to Anne Marie Slaughter's article in The Atlantic about "having it all": On a lighter note, one of my funnier moments was when the twins were about 3 months old, getting a conference call with about 20 people on three continents at 6AM, thinking "I'll be up feeding them anyway, and I can just be on mute", then finding out I was supposed to lead the call.

Someone should have recorded that for a movie I have been looking for stories from someone who has a day job and takes care of babies at night. Yes, it's tiring just like you say in the 4th lesson. Your 9 lessons are very helpful to me. I encourage all guys who have the same situation to read this post. It might be helpful to you as well. I have a 4 month old, and I have learned these exact 9 lessons, in the exact same order, even.

I've made it work. It hasn't been easy, but it's working! And my little baby boy is rockin' it. We learn great life and business lessons through our children. I have 9 children and gave birth to 6 of them. I had all 6 of my birth children before I was I was blessed with a surprise baby at the age of There are 14 years difference between my youngest daughter and my youngest son who is turning 12 next week. And I homeschooled all my children all the way through to college.

I also have been self employed since I was The main decision I made when I was only 18 finding out I was pregnant for the first time is that I was going to be home with my kids. I was going to work around their schedules. We have done very well. I coach one day a week and make over 6 figures a year working that one day a week. Everyone knows not to bother me on that one day. We own a real estate brokerage also and run it from our home office. My husband does all the running around work so I can homeschool and I do all the marketing and blogging, seo, etc at night when everyone is sleeping.

You learn what are priorities and everything fits around those. I choose lifestyle over anything else. People ask me all the time how do I get it all done. I don't do it all myself. We have a landscaper, I have a house helper, I have a full team of virtual assistants who help me in my businesses.

I love your points in your post! I learned to do a lot of things with one hand! And those last two boys are now almost 4 and almost 3 and I have to constantly guard the keyboard from syrup and sippy cup bombs Kids really do have a way of humbling you and also teaching you to make the most of any situation. I own a Pilates studio and a couple of my employees have grade school children.

Many times we have had all four children playing quietly and happily together in the studio office. At first it was a little disruptive but over time the kids grew in their patience and all the grown ups enjoy saying hello to these really fun loving adorable kids. Not one bad word to me ever about having them in the studio. I give credit to their Moms for making it to work.

I also know lots of young women who wear their infants to their Pilates studios in those cute slings. As a Mom of teen aged boys, they helped us move locations last year. Kids make it real. There is no "balance".

See a Problem?

My family is part of my life. When our kid was about two, we noticed that some days she ate a ton, some days she ate very little, but that if we normalized what she ate over a couple of days, we realized that she'd eaten about the same amount on average. So we stopped worrying about setting her portions and let her handle her own portion control. Some days I work a lot. Some days I have more family time.

As long as this normalizes over a few days and I'm getting the right work stuff done, I call it a win. So nevermind the precise-schedule-every-day-that-allows-for-perfect-time-increments-for-everything. That's BS and is no way to have a happy family and a thriving business. I have 3 kids and have run my own business for 12 years. Kids are worth it, but it's the ultimate, "you can't understand a man till you've walked a mile in his shoes" example.

Babysitting is a great primer for why it's so hard. Nice to see you enjoy the experience and come out with a good understanding. I agree with a lot of your points,the thing my kids have taught me the most about business is that there is a reason I'm in business for myself, and they're it. Without them I could have had a different career, but not a better life. OMG Noah, first you are one of my favorites and 2nd I love you even more as I have 2 small kids and trying to do a podcast and start another business, I do wish others would get it, the fact that I want to create and i can have a nice marriage of 17 yrs and 2 small children.

Yes I am only 38 started marriage life and travel young, but also that it is a time hack because you are forced to do what you need either superass early or naptime or after they go to bed, I really appreciate all you do, I love your business, your interviews on podcasts and your writings. Thank you for always bringing value to me and if I can ever do the same for you please let me know Nic.

Every setback, failure, thing not going according to plan is just another bump in the road. If you're working, then work. If you're with family, then do that. Oh, Dear, Sweet, Noah. I applaud you for taking on the task of caring for someone else's child. When you "zone out" in the car listening to whatever instead of some not high priority it is because you are mentally needing to recharge. I'm glad you understand that your brother does early morning routine so that he can be better for himself AND for others.

Typing one-handed while feeding is a double-edged sword. If you were this child's parent I would tell you to immediately STOP this behavior and pay attention to the cherub in your arms. By double-tasking, you are missing out on precious bonding opportunities that a you will never get back because time flies and b nurture a child in a way that nothing else can. Were you read to as a child? It is time that a child gets to be held, engaged with one-on-one and spoken to in a voice that is often soothing and can be had precious few other places.

Please don't multi-task when you're in a place feeding, reading, bathtime, etc that direct eye contact, intimate conversations and genuine bonding can happen. If you don't pay attention, neither will the kid later on. Remember, nonverbal communication speaks loudest. You learn to better manage your time when you have a child. I thought I was busy before I had my son, but I realize now that I wasted a lot of time before I had a child. Having less time definitely makes me prioritize and use my limited time better. I get my side business work done between pm.

Also podcasts and audio blogs are so invaluable to me. Man, tell me about raising kids. It's all consuming and overwhelming. I always say someone who has a child but stays with the significant other and someone who raises a child are two different experiences Otherwise they truly are adorable, but a lot of hard work.

Anyway thanks for your observation and we can learn from your thoughts. We don't have young children anymore but these days I still have to be very focused with my time. My 1 lesson from being a business owner and a new dad 9 month old - have an amazing partner and be an amazing partner. It's much easier to manage businesses and babies as a two person team. After my daughter was born, I took two months off and my partner ran the business with little help from me. Now my daughter is in daycare 3 days per week - I stay home with her one day and my wife stays home with her another day.

I'm lucky to have an amazing business partner who's understanding and supportive. Many dads don't have this opportunity. You are so funny Noah! Great post again and spot on! I have 3 kids and am working on starting my business so I can relate. My children are my main motivation. I want to set an example, to be able to say: You can do almost anything in life if you put your mind to it.

And have some extra money so we can all travel the world together! You forgot to mention the stream of illnesses kids give you, sick days, and mortgage-equivalent daycare costs. You have chores after they go to sleep too, especially if you want to feed them real food. Chronic illnesses and ailments aren't uncommon by parenting age either and that further complicates matters. It can be done but you and your spouse need to be on top of your game. Otherwise, it's not practical until the kids are all in public school.

My kids were the reason I started my own business. After coming home again and again miserable I looked at them and asked myself "If my kids were doing this to themselves what would I tell them? I realized that my actions were telling them "working and doing something you don't believe in is okay. Dude this was awesome and so true!

As a dad to a newborn I can totally relate to this. I wrote a post that was sort of meant to be funny but ended up becoming quite helpful called "5 Steps To Writing A Blog Post While Feeding a Newborn Baby" - you might like it for next time you watch baby Atlas It was born out of the same frustrations that you mentioned. I have a seven month old, and he was 'launched' at the same time my site was birthed onto the world.

If that wasn't enough, I'm also the CEO of a staffing company with presence in two states. Much as I love my commercial challenges, and my gorgeous startup, nothing comes close to the joy of holding him, feeding him, playing with him, and yes, changing his heavy diapers. The best line in that whole blog post I don't encourage having a child just to increase your productivity" But kids will teach you a thing or two about priorities and time Hillarious but serious at the same time.

Babysitting an Adult Baby (ABDL, Adult Baby, Age Play)

I am a grandpa and we are babysitting our 3 year old grandson few days a week, and oh my gosh what a bundle of energy, so working on my stuff takes a new meaning. You are so right on point that It's a must read for everyone. Awesome lessons about lifes and productivity. Like you, I knew most everything about child rearing before I had them. Now I'm on my apology circuit like a step program. Two things that I've learned: If I woke you up in the morning and tried to get you to watch TV with me instead of sleeping - how would you answer?

If no, then bed is a better choice. It surprising to me how affordable it is to hire an excellent nanny. Now our house is getting cleaned, laundry is getting done, and our kids are getting a bi-lingual upbringing. Do the math - if your time and sanity, and relationship is worth more than you'd have to pay - get help!

Noah - You don't know shit yet about changing diapers. Go visit when your nephew is 2 years old and you essentially have to don a hazmat suit and turn the garden hose on him to get him sanitized. Reminds me of the first time I watched both my grandchildren at the same time. Taking care of a 9 month old and running after a three year old, no easy task.

It still was a lot of fun. Her research suggests these cultural practices fail to support the maturation of the vestibular, limbic, or nervous systems and leave primitive reflexes uninhibited past optimal developmental timetables. Not only should we not give a child more milk so he would sleep longer allowing us to get more done but ignoring the fact that the child has their own set of biologically determined needs It does not end well.

All that said, having children near by as you run a business is replete with positive lessons for both the child and adult. And, a 4 day babysitting gig is unlikely to render any lasting consequences. But as an advocate for children and families, as well as entrepreneurs, I know that we hope for successful outcomes in our families and our businesses. Historically, the care of children had been considered "women's work," and therefore devalued and unworthy of much study or attention.

Now we know that this work is foundational to the future of humanity, as our population grows, and technology and globalization become increasingly complex. Noah, if you could learn as much you did in watching a baby for just 4 days, imagine what you might learn given even more time: My husband and I are raising four children while running a major company together. We have it all worked out now, but the early years were crazy hard. The sleep deprivation associated with having a newborn around makes everything about 50x more difficult. You're right though, you learn to prioritize FAST, because your windows of opportunity are narrow and you're unbelievably groggy.

I have three kids from , and I started working for myself when my oldest was born. I love your list. The thing I'd add is juggling kids and work has taught me to have a sense of humor. Kid scribbles on my "important" papers, trying to do a phone interview with a kid suddenly yelling, "I have to go poo-poo! I still maintain a professional demeanor as people are paying me for professional results, but sometimes life gets real and you have to just embrace it. I left my job this year to go out on my own as a designer and consultant and currently work from home.

My wife home schools our 5 yr in Kindergarten and 11 year old in grade 6. I've been learning that interruptions will happen and can't been seen as a bother but rather as their desire to connect with dad for a momen during the day. When I keep focused on my work they continue to show up looking for affirmation but hen I genuinely connect with them for a few minutes their emotional tank is filled and they go back to their school work or play time.

I left my job to free up more time to be with them and now I'm learning each day what it takes to do that. Patience Love Understanding One handed typing A big magnetic board for all the Kindergarten projects Willingness to ignore my self imposed timelines to gain impactful moments in their lives. I've got an almost six month old daughter. I get up super early, do my meditation, do my physical therapy exercises I just had shoulder surgery I work during the weeks away from home, late, but spend a huge amount of time with my wife during the weekend. I very, very rarely compromise on this.

They will be there when everything else crashes and burns, and to Maggie my daughter , time playing Peek-a-boo is irreplaceable. There is a linear function for time spent with family and return on that time. Coming from the Army, I know what is and what is not a real emergency. Why, hello, Fiverr and Odesk. Where have you been all my life? For most of us, nobody is trying to kill us, although for many of us, it feels that way. Have Gratitude for your safety, what you learn from mistakes and the help kind people give you and compassion for people struggling.

Curiosity will help you learn where to place the other things and keeps things interesting. I learned a significant lesson from my 11yr old. She's quite handy on the iPad with photo rendering and manipulation with various apps. She started up an Instagram account and started posting photos of her favourite band up at a high frequency, always putting up something new. This only started a few months ago and she now has over followers on Instagram.

Persistance and passion for what she was doing drove that figure up. People pay significant sums of money to get an audience on social media and an 11yr old did it for free with just a bit of passion for what she was doing and knowing what her audience wanted. And thanks for the props. I own two businesses and have a toddler, so many of the things you mentioned really hit home.

I remember just before we brought baby home we had a conversation of "Do we really need a sitter? He's just going to sleep all day, right? How hard can it be? You had no idea how hard it would actually be. The biggest key to my sanity and productivity has been to outsource more. Before kids, I was too cheap to outsource. I would always find excuses for doing it myself. Now, I have a virtual assistant, someone who cleans once a week, someone who mows the yard, and we eat out most nights instead of me cooking. Without these support systems in place, I would have panic attacks from not being able to handle it all.

Plus, to your point, it's freed me up to spend more time on revenue generating activities so I can afford all these awesome services and actually enjoy my life. I'd add that the only thing more challenging than being a working mom is being a mom who stays at home full time. I tried that for about six weeks and it was by far the hardest job I've ever had.

I've been raising infant twin girls they're 8. In that time I've been thinking about the parallels of child-rearing and entrepreneurship. To your list I would add: Whether it's getting that baby to burp, finish her bottle, or go the F to sleep, you have to just keep after it until you're successful. The same is true with testing your concept, building your product, or testing marketing techniques. Just stay after it. Our girls were waking up sweaty and cranky. So we invested in a ceiling fan and that problem went away.

Especially in the beginning, we tracked their formula intake and sleeping schedule, and tried different things as they grew. With the startup, we monitor our analytics and customer feedback to make our site and customer experience better. As soon as they showed signs of being able to sleep through the night, we committed to sleep-training them. Even though it's doubly tough with twins who cry and wake each other up, it yielded dividends after a week or so and my wife and I had our evenings back to ourselves.

I have done a lot of reading with a kid in my lap or playing on the floor. I have always heard that if you want something done give it a busy person; they understand that they are in a time crunch where as the person with lots of time on their hands will naturally procrastinate. Here are some other lessons for those with multiple kids. Our 4 year old is often asked to go get the diaper for our 8 month old, or to gaurd duty to keep her out of the kitchen or to be the entertainer for a few minutes. It gives him a chance to have a sense of accomplishment.

Give others a chance to be part of the success. The 4 year old helper does a great service but also learns responsibility. In his feeling of self pride he is enthusiastic to help and wants to take on more challenges. Never let others share in your defeat. If the 4 year old helper is not successful and feels he is the cause of the failure he will be less likely to be as helpful, take on new challenges. The 4 year old can be a great helper but for only a certain amount. Anticipate that attention span - employees are the same, they work for you for the money, you work for you for the dream.

They are not as emotionally invested in your success. Their own lives will always invade the days thoughts, this is normal; find ways to not let it be too much of a distraction; or perhaps a way to incorporate it in the days events Never for get why you are doing this. My wife and I have an incredibly busy life. I work over seas month on month off and communication is difficult at best; on top of that I serve in the military - my reserve life is busier than most On top of that we are starting a business while raising a 4 year old and 8 month old!

I think we have started scheduling time for sleep.

Every day I look at the I am motivated to keep going, if successful I will be able to spend more time with them in the end. My husband and I started a business together 22 years ago. When we started we had a 2 year old. A week later I discovered I was pregnant again. It's been quite a ride…we started a project management company in the basement and now have a staff of 50 serving the pharmaceutical industry from an amazing heritage building we renovated.

Not only are we still married, we have shared the same physical office space for 22 years. There were endless learnings on our journey, but having seen our two kids grow into successful adults at 22 and 25, I think we did a lot of things right. Here are some of the things that building a business, family and marriage at the same time have taught us:. Focus on now If you are with your kids or your spouse, focus on them, not the email you forgot to send.

Forget perfection Our house hasn't be spotless for 2 decades. Friends understand that friendship is more important than a show home. I've used time that I could have been cleaning the same kitchen counter and floor over and over to spend in my garden, which responds to my attention as a beautiful sanctuary and sanity. Even the kids learned that if they wanted to ask for something they should wait until I'd been in the garden for half an hour because then I was more relaxed and open.

For my husband, it's cooking up a storm and not worrying about the dishes. The meals he makes more than compensate for the dirty sink! Involve the kids Ours have done everything from licking stamps and shredding paper when they were younger to fixing computers and doing FB posts when they were in university. They learned a lot. I grabbed a wipe and cleaned up around his cock, then grabbed his legs, lifted his bum off the floor and pulled the soiled diaper from underneath him.

I put the new one under his bum and rubbed some of the diaper rash cream in to his surprisingly smooth bum cheeks.

A little dusting of powder, some readjusting, taping and more readjusting and the fresh diaper was on his bum. Jason had been well behaved whilst I was changing him and had hardly made a sound, if only it was always this easy to change a diaper. I looked down at his innocent face and suddenly leaned forward and blew a huge raspberry on his tummy. Jason screamed and giggled with delight, his legs and arms flailing around, but never came close to hitting me. I blew another raspberry on his tummy, he had a cute little giggle. I started to snap the poppers on his jump suit back together but noticed that it had some milk on it from when I'd fed him.

I grabbed the wet diaper and wrapped it up inside itself and placed in the trash, I then walked back to the dresser and found another adult sized jump suit and took it back to Jason.
