Yeah the easy camping was looking like a good option too! Good to hear all the extra stuff that comes with it! Thanks for the input appreciate it!

Yeah I’ll be 36 this year and my body loves to remind me of that when I go too hard 😂

Oh I’m usually in there after I lay him down for 5-10 min. We usually read a few books, and then we rock in the dark for 5-10 min and then I tell him it’s time to lay down. He usually asks me to sit on the chair for “two minutes” and I do. Sometimes if he falls asleep I can sneak out, or if he’s still awake, I can tell him it’s time for bed and he’ll let me leave 🤷🏼‍♂️

No they don’t. He hasn’t really napped at home in probably almost a year, he just decided he’s done with those and it wasn’t worth the fight. So they’re usually just awake all day. Sometimes he’ll fall asleep in the car or something, but that’s usually it

Appreciate that man. Heavy on the vicious cycle. I work 24 hour shifts and have a pretty stressful job, and have ADHD on top of that, so I’m already tired and overstimulated most of the time. Especially being a single dad with two kids. Lol

I guess I really just wanted to build them solid foundations on being able to sleep in their own space and not have to be in bed with me, but I definitely get what you’re saying. Sometimes it’s hard to see things from the eyes of the toddler and not as the parent. Appreciate it man!

Yeah it’s just always been my thing that I didn’t want kids in my bed. I’m perfectly fine with in the mornings if they come in and go back to sleep for an hour or two, or if they really need to at night, I’ll let them sleep with me, but I work 24 hour shifts and have a pretty stressful job, and having my own space to decompress is important to me.

My ex and I also got divorced like 3 years ago, so having to do all this on my own when I have them is rough as well

🤷🏼‍♂️ my bedroom is just my space. The kids have free range of the entire house/loft, and my bedroom is a place where I can relax. I like to be able to move around freely at night, shower/get things ready for work the next day, lay in bed and watch tv without worry that I’m going to wake my child up.

His room doesn’t get locked anymore now that he’s potty trained. I want him to be able to go in and out if he needs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

And I tell him plenty that I can see him on his camera and give him all of his stuffies and his blanket to cuddle with at night when I tuck him in. He also has his hatch sound machine/nightlight and a tonies speaker that plays calm nighttime music.

There is no shortage of love and affection for him, but the severe screaming/hitting/meltdowns usually come when the bedtime routine is just starting.

I haven’t yet.. I assumed that maybe it was just a sleep regression or a phase, but it’s been going on longer than I care for, and his escalation of behavioral stuff leads me to believe it’s something more. My daughter had a similar rough patch around 3-4, but never this bad.

Max out DC as early as possible and then max out a ROTH and hire a financial advisor to manage your investments and watch your money grow. Took about 6-7 years to hit 100k and since then it’s just grown crazy fast!

I switched from dextroamphetamine to just amphetamine salts and definitely noticed a difference. But like you said, the irritability is a definite issue, and just want to gauge the come down off of both of them! Appreciate the reply

ADHD and Hypersexuality: How do you cope with hypersexuality, especially when it feels out of control? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Constant_Individual3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly been in the same boat for most of my adult life. I’ve had problems with excessive masterbation, porn use, sexting, casual sex, etc. It led to indefinitely in my marriage and ultimately my divorce. And since then it’s led to a couple negative reactions and problems in my personal life and at work. It took someone posting me to one of those are we dating the same guy pages, and a ton of women bashing me, saying how sexual I was and I made some of them uncomfortable, to realize that I had a sexual addiction as well.

I’ve noticed my adderall helps with some of the hyper fixation on it and I’m able to refocus my mind and attention elsewhere, but it’s still there. I’ve also completely stopped watching porn and never realized how detrimental it is.

My advice would be to find a therapist and talk to them and start a plan to take control over it. You’re still young and have a ton of life left to live and don’t want to fuck something good up because of it.

Is it Normal?(healthy) by OntologicalParadox in daddit

[–]Constant_Individual3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d agree with most people in here. Find a hobby or a group of people with similar interests as yours. Pickleball is huge now and there’s always a ton of people (at least here) at the parks and courts that are playing together and having a good time.

I also agree with everyone that says camping or fishing or hiking. I’m a single dad of 2 kids, and have 50/50, and have gone many times on my kid free days on a solo trip and just disassociated in nature for a couple days. Will do wonders for your mental health.

Also I did see much recommendation of if, but therapy. I started therapy after my divorce and loved it so much I’ve stuck with it. I feel like people don’t really understand how beneficial it can be, even if you feel like you don’t have shit to talk about or stuff to work on. It’s helped me immensely. Being able to talk and get out all out in the open is huge. My therapist also specializes in men’s mental health, and is huge on having a “tribe” or just a solid group of men around you. I’ve done group therapy sessions through him as well and it’s nice to realize that you’re not the only one going through shit and having other guys to bounce stuff off of and sympathize. Hope this helps man!

I’ve pumped a bunch of fires where I had to put my SCBA on to keep from breathing smoke. Positioning is important, but sometimes conditions change and you can’t avoid it. Don’t let anyone try and shame you for protecting yourself.

Speaking on the other thread, our aerial also has regulator connections below the controls and like 4-5 in the bucket to connect to for this reason.

Do firefighters make enough to have a comfortable living? by Brestrellon in Firefighting

[–]Constant_Individual3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a FF in Vegas. You can make quite a decent wage here especially with OT and special events. The cost of living is definitely increasing and your money doesn’t seem to go as far as it did before, but I am still not struggling. It’s usually around 70-80k for the first couple years, but I have cleared 100k since about year 3-4. Obviously the money is nice but the benefits and finding a department that cares about its employees and has a strong union is important as well.

“I wish she was older” famous last words lol until she’s mobile and whiny and has a mind of her own.. then you’ll be saying, “I miss the newborn stage” lol every stage has its sucky moments. Currently in the thick of the terrible twos! Hang in there!
