talking about
becoming a dad
bob asked his dad jay for advice
since he will become a dad for the first
time
next month
dad are you free now yeah
i’m just reading a newspaper
to be honest i’m quite nervous now
why can you tell me
well my wife is pregnant in the 34th
week
and the due date is coming soon
i’m so excited to meet my baby in person
not by frame but i’m not sure how to be
a good father
um i got it i understand your feeling
actually i used to be too how did you
take care of sarah and me
well first of all you have to accept the
truth
that a new special person will live with
you you should get used to it
having a baby makes your life ups and
downs continuously
you have to sacrifice your time for your
children
you can’t hang out with your friends
every weekend
you can’t go to the gym once a day you
need to stay home
and help your wife because the schedule
of a baby is
different from an adult how is that
different
it depends on each stage of their life
generally they eat at least
five times per day until over two years
old
and they can’t go to the toilet by
themselves until four
you’re scaring me dad it’s fine not to
hang out with my friends
but i must go to the gym and i’m sure my
wife’s ability to feed our boy five
times per day alone
you know your mom and i almost got
divorced when you were born
i used to think like you that the wives
can take care of children by themselves
because
they directly gave birth i made many
excuses to go out for not having to hear
you cry
then your mother was depressed and we
couldn’t stop arguing
how did you overcome that period
your grandfather helped me to realize
how selfish i was
you know after giving birth women’s
health is not as good as before
they have to sacrifice all their time to
be my children’s side
they still do all the housework while
our life has no change
we need to take responsibility to take
care of the child
you’re right since my wife was pregnant
she’s been tired at night and recently
she can’t tie up her shoelaces it’s just
the beginning somehow we can’t help them
smoke much
but they need someone to share their
difficulties to know they’re not alone

jenny and tom talked about the first
time
tom met jenny’s children and how he
became their beloved stepfather
tom tomorrow is our fifth wedding
anniversary
do you want to travel what about you
jenny
what do you want to do i have no idea
that’s why i asked you well
i just want to stay at home i need to
help layla
with her math her exam is coming
you’re so nice tom i still remember the
first time she met you
she said nothing then slammed her
bedroom door
i was so angry but you just smiled
she was nine at that time jen it wasn’t
easy for a kid to call someone
dad when her real dad just passed away a
few months ago
mark’s behavior was even more
unacceptable
thank god you were so patient to wait
for them until they opened their heart
they need time you see now they’re so
good to me
yeah the last time we argued they even
protected you
unbelievable i play soccer with mark
every afternoon and
go to the market with layla on the
weekends
thanks to them i started to learn how to
be a dad
actually it’s not that difficult when we
love someone from the bottom of our
hearts
and i do love them as much as i love you
oh sweetheart you are so wonderful
back in the day you asked me about my
favorite things about
layla and mark you even wrote it down
carefully
then you learned to cook sashimi for
mark and kit a woolen scarf for
layla at first
they didn’t care at all but i know if i
keep taking care of them sincerely
they will love me back indeed they do
you are always willing to listen to them
for hours talking about their friends
their teachers their feelings with their
lovers
i’m too busy to talk to them frequently
like you
you know i want to become a person who
feels comfortable sharing everything in
their life
so they don’t feel lonely after their
father’s death

she’s unhappy with the food
