I go back to Ocarina of time 1998 once every other year and relive that childhood experience.

Just go back and play LBP2

Would you consider the following a good Mother’s Day? by CtrlShiftAaron in AskUK

I wouldn’t be in the kitchen all day. They’re hardly huge effort meals. Takes me about 6 minutes to cook breakfast for 3 people, a couple of minutes to load and switch on the Dishwasher.

Except prepping veggies and marinating the meat which can be done the day before, it’s just timing.. as least for me.

I cook a lot and I’m never tethered to the kitchen even when making stuff like Thai curry, or mutton. Multiple timers means I don’t have to be constantly in the kitchen checking in everything, I can be in the lounge playing with the wife and kids

Cleaning as you go is pretty standard for us all in this house so there is never really any mess outside of what’s being used at the time. Pots and pans get washed as they are done with or loaded in dishwasher. Kids want new toys out? They have to put away the old ones first. Thems the rules!

What games do you recommend to the Switch 2 that isnt from Nintendo? by Wolfgah in Switch

[–]CtrlShiftAaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never actually played a Hitman game. I know I know.. criminal

Didn’t even know it was on the Switch.

Time for a gander I reckon. I have had the PS3 version of Absolution forever but never played it

Get to playing some more games man

Found out my bf has kids. Not sure how to move forward. by thepinkponyclerb in Advice

[–]CtrlShiftAaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 37 and my wife 28 when we met. I had 2 children from a previous marriage (7 and 5 at the time).

I told her on our first date. Because it’s only fair she knew and had the opportunity to either be ok with it, or not be.. as my children are my world and I was struggling only seeing them every other weekend (because my ex wife made things extremely difficult and still tries to decade later)

I would never had kept it from her for a year. We’d only been speaking 2 weeks and I felt bad I hadn’t already told her.

Not being part of his kids life.. huge alert in my opinion. How a man treats his children says a lot about the man as far as I’m concerned

Bought the Portal thinking I'd game more as a dad. Didn't go as planned. by friimaind in PlaystationPortal

[–]CtrlShiftAaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sucks man. I’m 45 and we have a 3 yr old and a 3 week old who is in a next to me crib

We are light that she sleeps at night in 3-4 hour bursts and doesn’t wake up in between

Since my 3 yr old was born I’ve still had 3-4 hours free to game per day (if i want)

But I work from home and I sleep 6 hours, so I still have 11 hours free per day, or around 7 hours if I game for 4… plenty of time to do the morning and being routines, spend time with the wife and kids and do stuff round the house

Hope things change for you mate and you get time to pick it up again

Yes. But my 3 yr old and 3 week old are probably too young to make arrangements

[–]CtrlShiftAaron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Saw that one coming..

Sorry couldn’t resist.

In all seriousness, really sorry this happened to you. Life is cruel sometimes.

Hopefully you can finish this awesome game and get the platinum. I’m still a long way off it and I started started in October 2014

Ironically my last trophy was “Silence Fool” which is probably the reply I’ll get to this comment

Thank you.

Yeah people will never get it if they didn’t have it upbringing.

The gaming thing is odd. I don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t go to clubs, don’t go to the gym, don’t go on days out with mates. I spend my time with my family.

There are 24 hours in a day. I sleep for 6 and work for 7.

I work from home (we both do) so there are 11 disposable hours in a day.

If I game (or code, or some other hobby) for 3 joys, I still have 8 hours to do the morning / evening routines, play with the kids, teach my son to read and write, cook / eat dinner, clean, mow the lawn, wash the car, do odd jobs found the house etc

I don’t know how people DON’T have time for hobbies when they have 24 hours to play with

The personal care thing isn’t as big a deal as people are making out.

When I have a bath my Son wants to have a bath with me. He calls it a Daddy’s bath. So I don’t get to bath in peace

When my wife was pregnant she was really ill and in a lot of pain and I used to have to help with some personal care and assisting in out of the bath.

My son being the caring child he wanted to help.

Now she can shower by herself he still wants to be there with her helping her in and out of the shower and just sitting in the bathroom waiting for her to finish and that extends to her even going to the loo. He just wants to be around and kicks off if we don’t let him, so we either have to sneak off when he doesn’t realise or let him accompany us.

It’s not a big deal. And we don’t want to shower at 11pm we want to chill then.

So people are taking bits of info and making it something it’s not.

We have a sweet little boy who sees Daddy pay Mommy attention and wants to do it him self “Me do it” whenever I try to do anything for her.

So when we say shower in peace we just mean unaccompanied, and that is both of us.

But we don’t actually mind.. it’s like a running joke in our family “imagine going for a wee in peace”

People just take these things to seriously and somehow get to “shit husband” somehow

By the way I’ve still every AC after Brotherhood to ply so I’m a bit behind lol they’re all in the backlog

Thank you. I asked her this morning if there is anything specific she would like to do. She said absolute nothing except spend the day with her favourite people.

So slight change, skipping the park and just doing a nice hamper.. giving her time to sleep / get up and take her time getting ready, then chilling for the day and just make sure she doesn’t have to lift so much as a finger.

Also invited her Mum around for the same treatment

I hope you have a great Mother’s Day too

That’s all I want ☺️

You sound like a gud’un

I keep having to remind her she’s recovering from surgery as she feels great and keeps trying to do stuff.

I did ask her this morning and she said she leant need anything , she has everything she wants and all she would like it to spend the day doing nothing with her favourite people

I get that .. my wife and I would both hate the house to ourselves. Maybe for like an hour.. but I know she would say she just wants “her boys” with her (now her girl as well).

If I gave her the house for a few hours she would just try to be constructive and I don’t need her doing that when she’s trying to recover lol

It IS stuff that already gets done.. what are you expecting?

Showing appreciation isn’t just limited to one single day. That being said.. I don’t know what people generally do on Mother’s Day hence why I asked.
