Tomorrow is strike 3 for me. First was the 6th, then 20th, and now the 30th I know not to datefag but my mental health has taken a toll, feels like freedom was taken from the world. My wife is having our second child in two weeks time. My 5 year old is noticing me on here way too much. I need to get emotionally back on track. If nothing happenes tomorrow. Thanks for being the best group of people in this world

I trust you guys to continue to fight. I need to make time for my family, I’m addicted to the refresh button
You’re not alone.
But it’s much better than getting hooked on adrenochrome.
Skeletor Celine Dion will testify to that!
HAhaha very true
BTW, baby #2 is notably harder for dad, because while mom was likely already at 100% for baby #1, dad was at 35-40%.
But when baby #2 comes along, mom’s already at 100%, so dad has to get his *ss in gear and do a lot more.
That said, there is nothing like going from 0 babies to 1. That flips your lifestyle upside down (for almost all the best reasons, but still). Where once free time was your own time, it never will be again, for another two decades. So I’m their vein, baby #2? Not as big a change as you might fear. The babies already own you. (And it’s a good thing)
One last bit of advice: however many kids you have, identify a family with more children, so you and your spouse can reference them frequently and sigh together “Well, at least we don’t have that many kids.”
this^^^ is sage advice, lol. though my experience with having a second child is a little different. 1 kid is one. it's a big change but you still have some wiggle room. 2 kids and you might as well have 6. all ur wiggle room r now belongz to baybeez. if you're like me and have a tough time releasing your former sense of personal freedom and autonomy (or the longing for it, rather) it will be difficult. i am in awe of how fucking much i love my kids, but i'm not gonna lie i need a break from them pretty pretty prettaaaay bad after being on lockdown for a year here in Michigan. wife and i are 2 and through. we have fam/friends with 3+ and neither one of us can understand HOW. lol. anyway all the very BEST to you and your family, OP! we'll be here when you're ready to return!
That was an awesome informative reply! Thank you! I won’t be gone long !
You can minimize the window and just use this in Brave ?
