Select letters from the mail bag. As a new parent, I yearn for all the old wives tales, hints, religious laws, and semi-fascist breast-feeding-fanatic remarks I can find (just in case Paul Reiser did not include all in his holy writ).

letter 5
Clean out the garage. Install a satellite dish on the garage roof. Buy a big new TV and hook it up to the dish. Buy a fridge large enough to hold all the beer you can drink. Hook it up in the garage next to the recliner. Put a strong metal door on the garage and don't give anyone the key except your male buddies. When the baby keeps crying or the wife keeps nagging, go immediately to the garage, lock the door and enjoy until she threatens to serve divorce papers.

letter 4
Mom is going to drive me crazy with asking if you have popped?

Kathy

letter 3
Scream at your Dentist! Child rearing is still a mystery to me (after 6, and countless grandchildren). I'm good with dogs, cats & other furry creatures, if you need advice in that area, feel free to ask.

Congratulations,
Mickey

letter 2
Don't take parenting advice from others. Do it your own way. It is never wrong when delivered with love. Besides, soon enough, your kid will tell when you are screwing up.

Phillip

letter 1
You might want to consider the consequences of raising a daughter in Los Angeles CA. She might become a streetluge maniac or get into jetski racing out in the ocean. You just never know. Kriminy is the only thing that comes to mind when I think of all the possibilities.
