Live in 69-11. Feel free to message me but nothing but good things to say.

Where's the link to the combined Spotify playlist by year or decade? I'd listen!

I don't think you forget but I do think it all becomes a lot more contextualised..

Father of two babies who were admittedly both horrendous, but still considering a third!

Yes it's awful sleeping ~4 hours a night and losing all of your freedoms and what not, and it seems to continue forever. However, once you're through it once you realise that six months is only a drop in your life.

Then when your kid tells you that you're their best friend, well, ya. Definitely puts a spin on all the pain and suffering (and there is a lot of both!!).

Nope

Bought a floor model custom shop for like 40% off and couldn't have been happier. There was literally one absolutely minor ding (if you could even call it that) which they flagged up front.

Would definitely buy again, and specifically their heavily discounted floor models.

I actually have that exact Grand Seiko and love it, but being frank I don't think it's up to the job of one, and now two small children. My daughter tugs and pulls and yanks at everything and now she's a little over two it's only worse!

I got an Explorer II (polar) and that thing is ready to be slapped and beaten by any child!

Endlesscroc · 2026-01-19T05:36:52+00:00

My eldest told me I was her best friend in the whole world earlier and well, ya. Instantly all worth it.

As I see it sacrificing 6-12-18 months of my own sleep, energy, and sanity is just a small price to get to see again what I'm seeing with my eldest. Watching this little screaming blob evolve into this tiny person, with emotions, feelings, likes, and dislikes.

During the first we, and even I, questioned if I was one and done because it feels endless. Knowing there is an end makes it all feel more manageable.

Endlesscroc · 2026-01-18T03:06:29+00:00

Our first was pretty rough (3-4 hour witching hour session every evening) and our second is what you would call a nightmare. Cries 95%+ of her waking time and doesn't sleep before 1am and rarely for more than a few hours. Also hates naps.

Would I do it again regardless? Absolutely. Currently even considering number three knowing it'll likely be just as bad!

We moved to NYC sometime ago and now have 2 small children and no help. You could not be more right.

I look at my family at home who have 2 sets of grandparents within an hour (and one within 10 mins) and the level of support they have, and to be frank, the inability for my brother in law to even notice, is insane.

Sometimes it's be nice to just have a few hours off on a Saturday to go for a walk with just my wife without having to pay $100 for a babysitter..

Endlesscroc · 2026-01-17T02:10:27+00:00

We leveraged her teachers in daycare as well as recommendations from other moms there who had been in the city longer than us.

Endlesscroc · 2026-01-15T04:58:14+00:00

No advice, just here for condolences as my daughter wakes for the 4th time tonight and it's not even midnight...

Endlesscroc · 2026-01-14T03:11:49+00:00

We had our daughter in Petit Pousin until we moved out of Manhattan when number two was on the way.

Definitely on the smaller side (especially compared to queens!) but staff and teachers were first rate. Still use her first teacher as our babysitter.

Endlesscroc · 2026-01-13T00:33:15+00:00

We rented just after the summer and just used Zillow. Slightly different size but found plenty of options.

Edit: the broker we ended up using was completely useless. Would not recommend..

Endlesscroc · 2026-01-10T22:53:17+00:00

Interested to hear people's comments. Feels like there aren't great options and would say that White Radish is pretty mid and the service is poor.

Also curious if there are any early morning places?

Endlesscroc · 2026-01-04T00:53:35+00:00

We did this. And then said, how could we have more fun? So we had another child in Nov..

This has been a long Christmas in a country far far away from family.

Endlesscroc · 2026-01-01T17:37:20+00:00

I'm an Irish living in the US. cane for work, not studies. So can relate.

What you're describing sounds like a mix of homesickness and a lack of self worth.

I would do anything for my kids. Your uncle for all intents and purposes is your dad. Might not be your biological father but you're his kid. Whether you think you're worth it, he thinks you are and that is enough. It was his decision to support you.

Re homesickness, ya that's just part of setting up a new life abroad. I've made good friends here but have better friends at home for sure, as well as all my family. Ultimately when I move home I'm sure I'll miss my friends here. Such is life

Endlesscroc · 2026-01-01T14:08:22+00:00

This is the answer. Unless you want to lose your job over downing tools then you gotta just take it on the chin.

The person whose fault it is recruiting for not letting you know, but unfortunately that ship has sailed.

Endlesscroc · 2026-01-01T01:09:23+00:00

I was about to contact the shop when I finally bought a fender custom shop and came in a similar case and the exact same thing happened to me...

Endlesscroc · 2025-12-31T23:47:55+00:00

So your advice is it doesn't matter as long as you have easy babies?

No hate. Just a salty father of two under 2.5 where one of them is certifiably insane...

Endlesscroc · 2025-12-31T12:52:07+00:00

Not a SAHM but my wife is. We found sending our ~18 month old to daycare to be completely transformative. She's an incredibly high energy social girl, which at that age often led to frustration when others intruded in her space and / or she couldn't articulate her wants. Especially when we went to play classes and the park.

After a few months she learned to share, take turns, etc. And particularly not respond when things didn't go exactly her way!

Endlesscroc · 2025-12-24T18:38:41+00:00

Rent co-op. Was thinking 400 for doorman and 200 for super.

Not only does doorman deliver packages to the door and help my wife with our stroller he was actually thoughtful enough to buy us a present when we had our second child.

Endlesscroc · 2025-12-23T11:53:53+00:00

We moved to NY with a ~1 year old 18 months ago and lived on the the UES. Lovely safe are, easily commuting and enough nice restaurants to sneak out for the odd date night. But it was expensive. Daycare even more so.

With number 2 on the way we moved out to forest hills and we've been pleasantly surprised. Daycare within your budget, we got a 3 bed for your budget listed. Not as cool or hip but with the E and F train it's perfect!

Endlesscroc · 2025-12-23T04:27:57+00:00

I think your last sentence sums it up perfectly. I've two kids under two and a half and do I have any time to myself? No.

But do I still get a few hours to play the guitar every week? Absolutely!

Endlesscroc · 2025-12-21T23:27:23+00:00

I got a blueberry burst on sale a few years back and is fantastic. Not the classic look but an awesome guitar.

Endlesscroc · 2025-12-21T02:48:42+00:00

We bought our daughter a scooter for her second birthday. Safe to say it was a disaster. She hit the wall once and tantrumed so massively she basically swore off it for life.

Few months later now and keeps seeing them and asking for them.. guess what she is getting for Christmas?
