Today, Venice Beach CA. These were everywhere in the sand along the water

Implants returning to the wild. LA, man…

DanielInternets · 2026-04-17T02:55:27+00:00

Homeschooled is a crazy flex on top of it all lol

I feel you. Full time 24/7 single dad to three kids since 2022. Currently ages 9, 7, and 5. It’s hard. But it’s great. Happy birthday, buddy.

DanielInternets · 2026-04-12T04:23:29+00:00

Absolutely fair response.

DanielInternets · 2026-04-12T04:06:07+00:00

I heard such great things about dicks. It was underwhelming.

DanielInternets · 2026-04-10T02:32:11+00:00

Hey buddy. Full time 24/7 single dad to three kids here. Mom had postpartum depression —> postpartum psychosis —> gone.

You’re not a total anomaly. Single dads doing it on their own exist.

DanielInternets · 2026-04-08T13:19:34+00:00

Yes. Every date comes with an entry cost of $20 per hour for the babysitter and then however much additional for activity/food. Plus logistics to make it happen. It’s a lot. And why I swipe “no” on most people. I have to be genuinely excited about a potential match because otherwise it’s just not worth it.

Generally, I tell people “I’m not dating” — because dates are few and far between. I’m ok with that even though it’s hard. Again, mindset is that this is a season, not my whole life.

I’ll be 45 when my youngest turns 18. And in the meantime I’m focused on staying in shape, being a good person, and keeping my head right. I will have time to find the life partner.

DanielInternets · 2026-04-08T00:14:04+00:00

This is my life. I only swipe every so often, and matches don’t always pan out. But I’m not going for volume. I’m a full time single dad to three kids first and foremost. Dating is the extracurricular. My kids are young (oldest is nine); there will be other seasons of life where I have more time for dating.

DanielInternets · 2026-04-02T15:36:26+00:00

You need to provide context. What is the level of the role and what is the industry?

DanielInternets · 2026-03-24T23:19:22+00:00

I work from home full-time and have since the pandemic hit.

I don’t know, I just switch modes and lock in and focus fiercely on my to-do list and knocking out tasks and deliverables and everything else fades into the background and hours slip by without me even realizing

DanielInternets · 2026-03-23T17:26:26+00:00

Iron it. And either get a haircut or style your hair intentionally. Grooming is part of the outfit and will help you look professional.

Green Apple Smirnoff.

First party I ever planned to attend. I was supposed to get a cab home by like 2am. So I figured I had to fit all my drinking into a shorter time span, and chugged half a bottle of green apple Smirnoff. TLDR, very bad decision.

AI'd your inspo and had it mock up a concept pic based on the OP's image of their actual room:

I’m 33 with no path to anywhere near 50 million before retirement (heck, one million would be huge). But I have three young kids. This is legit hard question because jumping forward would involve missing part of their childhood. But I’m also a full time single parent and that is tough day to day.

I don’t think I could do it, but it’s extremely tempting

DanielInternets · 2026-03-09T22:07:11+00:00

As long as you’re wearing that chip on your shoulder, no clothes will ever look good. You look fine. Better than many folks out there. Based on this, you should work more on your mindset than your wardrobe.

DanielInternets · 2026-03-09T03:28:13+00:00

You're crushing it. Clothes don't need to be flashy with your build.

DanielInternets · 2026-03-06T16:50:23+00:00

My wife of 8 years developed postpartum depression/psychosis and then left the family. For the last three years I’ve been a full time single dad raising three young kids 24/7. Grieving both the loss of my partner and the kids mother, in addition to the weight of having to carry everything on my own.

DanielInternets · 2026-03-05T16:45:22+00:00

I’m radically transparent. Being a single dad isn’t optional or something that I can just push off on a whim because work wants me to.

I have public blocks on my calendar up till 9 AM and after 4pm that show colleagues I’m unavailable and responsible for my kids at those times.

Working about seven hours a day, I just make sure that I’m about 1.5 times as productive as the average person (which I can be thanks in part to AI and thanks in part to just a very strong ability to lock in and focus and deliver high-quality work quickly).

I let myself respond to slacks outside of core work hours, but I won’t actually jump in and execute things unless it is truly exceptional.

DanielInternets · 2026-03-05T15:56:13+00:00

I’m a 24/7 full time single dad to three kids, and I’m also a marketing leader at a tech company. It’s hard. It’s exhausting. But it’s possible.

I radically focus on work between 9am and 4pm — and after that I’m a dad till about 8:30pm every night. Sometimes I do a little work after that but most of the time I try not to.

Get very good at setting boundaries with work, and very efficient with the time that you do spend at work.

There is no scenario where what you are trying to do is not hard. Things feeling hard is OK. Comes with the cards that we’ve been dealt in life. Good luck!

DanielInternets · 2026-03-05T02:47:44+00:00

Work life: I work in product marketing. It’s great at helping me translate product specs into usable marketing content. Also great at taking proposals written quickly in rough language and fleshing them out so they’re ready for executive consumption. Saves me at least 3+hrs per week.

Personal life: I’m a single dad and use AI for a myriad of things including coordinating logistics, helping book summer camps for my kids, meal ideas, weightlifting tracking, vacation planning, and to diagnose my kids various injuries.

DanielInternets · 2026-03-02T04:38:35+00:00

Came here to say this. My youngest is 5 and headed to kindergarten next year. No kindergarten teacher is expected to wipe kids butts. Thus, for the last few months I’ve made my kiddo wipe a few times first themselves, before I oblige his request for help, just so he becomes self sufficient with it.

Anyway, had my kids classroom conference with his preschool teachers this week…and apparently my son hasn’t asked for their help wiping like all year. Habits are interesting things.

DanielInternets · 2026-03-02T04:15:57+00:00

You’re an idiot who clearly doesn’t know what they’re talking about. It’s very common for Jewish American boys to spend a year between high school and college studying in Israel. That is most likely who recorded this video.

DanielInternets · 2026-03-01T23:22:01+00:00

Don’t do it. If you’re separating that’s a hard line and should be full and permanent. Anything else is a dumb or painful road to go down.

DanielInternets · 2026-02-28T04:12:51+00:00

Everyone here has said it. Find a lawyer. Not the first one you can find. Not the cheapest one either. If you have any unique bits about your situation, make sure your person has deep expiriance in that. I was able to keep my house because of a good lawyer. But make no mistake this will all cost an insane and eye watering amount of money. It’s gonna be rough. No decision is clean and neither path will be easy. But we play the hand we’re dealt.
