If you're going to have a baby, remember that you're also going to have a human.

#letsbefrank, Iโ€™m aware that you babes plan your weddingsโ€™ on pinterest boards. You also dream about the twins, triplets or perfect child youโ€™re all going to have. But, a word(s) of advice: take it slow. Below, a list of all the things you want to do before you get hitched and have little ones.

Marriage. And babies.

Remember that time I talked about that time of the month? You seemed to like howโ€ฆ frank I was.

Pardon the pun.

So on behalf of all men, Iโ€™m entering un-trodden ground again.

Babes, seriously?

I donโ€™t get what youโ€™re all hanging out for. Diamonds are great and all but so is being single.

Exhibit a) you can buy whatever you like without someone looking over your shoulder. And spend that marriage budget on whatever you like, too.

Exhibit b) you can eat as much kale as you like without being made fun of.

Exhibit c) you can stick with your girlfriends who can in fact, read your mind.

Exhibit d) you wonโ€™t have to look after a thirty three year old whoโ€™s dying got a cold.

But if you must get married, make sure itโ€™s the last thing on your to scrub do list. Thereโ€™s a whole life to be lived before you live it with someone else.

And finally, make sure your wedding is a love party, ok? Just like @sticksandstonesagency did. We all know that oneโ€™s company, twoโ€™s a crowd, and threeโ€™s a party, after all.

To babies.

Iโ€™m one of those guys who think that the carriage doesnโ€™t have to come after the marriage. #letsbefrank

Whatever floats your boat, really.

But if youโ€™re going to have a baby, remember that youโ€™re also going to have a human:

A 7-year-old with attitude.

A 16-year-old with attitude.

A 33-year-old with attitude.

A 55-year-old with attitude.

Babies arenโ€™t temporary โ€“ theyโ€™re even more work than puppies. Theyโ€™re also not a Band-Aid.

Find a guy whoโ€™s so great โ€“ almost as great as you โ€“ that you want to make a miniature version of you and him. And raise it with the following:

Manners and patience.

Kindness and generosity.

A bath and a shower. And a scrub.
