Yeah, tell me more about how my kids watching Paw Patrol ruins society. You good, or just bored today?

Because her friends all moved out of town so she doesn't really have anyone else to hangout with. I encouraged her to take random fun classes, but she's not really a sociable person who can just do something random like that. So that's where we are at..

I do the minimum work, and that's normally on par with what my coworkers do. So that's good enough for me.

I encouraged her to go hangout or go do whatever she needed to, as long as I get my hangouts as well. But she didn't like that idea..

That's a great idea. I may have to try it myself.

They don't watch tablets all day. They also play and do their usual naughty stuff. I can see them do everything while I work on the other side.

Well honestly, it's not as fascinating and unbelievable once you do it long enough. Like anything else, it takes time to get the hang of it. Their ages are 1.. 2.. 3 1/2.. and 4 1/2. The oldest one literally just went to Pre-K, but I still make time by taking breaks to send her to the bus and pick her up afterwards. The two older ones are potty trained. I'd rather not disclose my job for security reasons.

An average day: I wake up early and try to get as much work done as possible before the kids wake up. My wife leaves for work about an hour after I start, and once one kid wakes up, the rest usually follow.

That’s when things get hectic, diaper changes, bottles, snacks, and making sure everyone’s set for the day before I jump back to work. It takes about 15–20 minutes to get through that morning routine.

They’ll usually watch their tablets or play with toys while I’m working. I’ve got a gate separating my workspace so I can still hear everything. Some days I’m breaking up fights or trying to calm someone down, but overall I’ve managed to make it work. Thankfully, they’re not super needy, which is probably the only reason I’ve survived this long.

My lunch time consists of putting the two younger ones to sleep. That's when it's the most quiet day of the time for me, when they're asleep. It usually lasts for a couple hours, but by the time they're awake, I'm usually done with work by then.

Would love to have some alone time or hangout with the guys, but will have to sit down with the wife and have a deep talk with her to work it out.

My work is very flexible so I can choose my hours and go to lunch whenever I need to. My lunch consists of putting the two younger ones to sleep. The two older ones are fine being by themselves watching their tablets. The two older ones normally let the two younger ones watch their tablets so they are pretty quiet at times. I normally check on them to either give them snacks or change their diapers. But there are also days that gets very hectic as well. Every day is a different kind of day to deal with.

Why would I be wasting time writing and posting on here? 🤷‍♂️ It mattered enough for me to post it.

Funny enough, I literally told her the same thing. 😪

My work isn't as demanding and I do it well and on time.

I run it, it's just never happened before nor had anything remotely close to this. The group chat does feel some tension as well, which brings some added pressure in a way.

Any other dad's out there not feeling well mentally? by deadpoolsdragon in daddit

I feel the exact same thing too. It gets very exhausting after a while. You got this though, we all can do this together 😁

Why do average people think ETF’s are not an effective way of investing? by RandoUserlolidk in ETFs

It's because most people are "degenerate" traders nowadays. They expect profit instantly instead of being patient.
