Summary
In this episode of Father Knows Less, Bobby gives an honest update now that the baby is officially 2 months old: including feeling like he’s not helping his wife enough, hitting the exhaustion wall, and waiting for the moment the baby finally recognizes him. He also talks about whether newborns need nannies, why Nick Cannon having 12 kids makes no sense, and if thank you cards for baby gifts are actually required. Bobby also talks about the baby monitor scare that ruined everyone’s sleep, the surprisingly emotional effect of a crying baby, and the expensive Tim McGraw baby gift they can finally use. Plus, he did his first Baby gift unboxing!

| 0:05.1 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Father Knows Less. |
| 0:08.2 | I'm the Father, I Know Less. |
| 0:10.5 | I'm Bobby. |
| 0:11.4 | However, you're hearing or watching this, it's just me in a room, sitting here, |
| 0:16.6 | looking at notes that I've taken over the past. |
| 0:18.7 | It looks like now about two and a half or three weeks. |
| 0:38.9 | So this is a different kind of show for me because I literally just keep notes of things that come to mind inside my notes app. And then when I hit about seven, I go, hey, we should record another one. Or if I have a friend that is having a baby or had a baby or knows a baby or is a baby, I'm like, hey, why don't you stop in and let's talk about it. |
| 0:45.4 | So that's where we are as of today. I just had two months. Baby's two months old, which is pretty cool, pretty crazy. She got a lot of hair. She pretty much got her rhythms down. But we're definitely in the stage now of, and Caitlin more than me, of just being tired as just a baseline. |
| 1:03.2 | We don't have a nanny or anything. |
| 1:05.4 | But can you have a nanny for a newborn? |
| 1:08.3 | Because like what even would you do is a nanny for a newborn and I know that people |
| 1:13.6 | probably have them I wish we had two right now to be honest with you but I don't think there |
| 1:18.0 | would be enough time because my wife loves being with our baby like all the time and so if you |
| 1:26.1 | had a newborn especially your first one it'd be weird Like it might be nice for like a little bit of rest, but I think it would be weird for us to have a nanny because I don't think that my wife would want time for the nanny right now. That could change. Hey, you hit me up in six months. I may tell you we have three nannies. I have no idea what's going on. But yeah, newborn and a nanny kind of feels not wrong or anything, but I don't know where |
| 1:51.7 | we would use it. I guess if, I don't know, I was just reading this Nick Cannon story |
| 1:56.9 | about him, and he has 12 kids, right right and so they just announced this documentary series about |
| 2:05.7 | him and he has 12 kids with six different moms now he's got to have a lot of nannies i would |
| 2:12.1 | assume also like i feel like at times i don't do a great job of being there with my wife all the time. |
| 2:21.1 | And that's just because of my job, right? |
| 2:22.9 | So I'll go in the morning. |
