J.R.’s First Time Dad Report Card
Today was J.R.’s first time dad report card day. J.R. is celebrating Father’s Day Sunday for the first time. He and his fiancée Kristin welcomed baby Parker on January 27, 2024, so she is almost 5 months old. Since this is the first time J.R. is experiencing fatherhood, we thought it would be a great time to get Kristin on the phone and “grade” J.R. on how well he has been doing these past 5 months.
We gave Kristin 5 questions and asked her to grade him on each. Grades would be A, B, C, D and F, being the worst.
Questions J.R. Was Graded On
When it comes to changing diapers, what grade would you give J.R. – Kristin gave a him a D. She explained that J.R. has only changed one diaper. He learned at the hospital and changed it there, but hasn’t done another one since then.
Getting up in the middle of the night – Kristin gave him an F. Kristin gave J.R. a lot of compliments, but said that because of his job and that he has to get up around 3am to come and do the morning show, he doesn’t get up in the night. He hasn’t done it yet. J.R. also said the baby sleep on mom, so he doesn’t want to get up and wake her, so he let’s her do it.
Helping with laundry, meals and shopping. – He did better on this one and got a C+. Kristin said that he helps out when he can and does an ok job on this.
How good is he at playing with her by himself. This is the highest grade that J.R. received today. She gave him an A. She said that he didn’t really know what to do in the beginning, so she had to teach him to bounce and move with her, but he’s doing much better now.
How is J.R. at staying home with her alone so that Kristin can go out with her friends and have some adult time. – J.R. failed this too. She gave him an F. Kristin said that he hasn’t stayed home alone with Parker yet. She hasn’t gone out with her friends since having Parker. She did say that when J.R.’s mom Carol was visiting, she left him alone with her for a few hours.
Kristin followed up the conversation by saying that J.R. is a good dad and there is lots of potential there. She also said he has great qualities and and he makes them laugh a lot.
J.R. received 1 A, 1 C, 1 D and 2 F’s. We were very generous and gave him an overall grade of a C. Congrats J.R….you’re doing great! Happy First Father’s Day!
