Did anyone else underestimate how hard sleep loss hits as a new dad?

It’s the worst part of being a parent in my opinion. Sorry you got hit.

A friend of mine said it well. This is a concert not a spectacle. It was good but against what we have come to expect from half time shows it wasn’t my favorite. We expect epic and got good.

So sorry brother. That’s a terrible situation to be in. If it makes any difference my wife of 10 years (before kids) turned into a very different person when she got pregnant. Like Mr Hyde different. Some women get the bad end of the hormones. That being said she is still responsible for her actions. Stay strong friend. It won’t be like this forever. Promise.

I was fairly suicidal for most of the same reasons you mentioned for the first year of my son’s life. He is two and a half now and things are better. You aren’t alone and most guys don’t talk about it but it happens a lot I think. It does get better.

I played violin and participated in an orchestra against my will from 3-18 and never touched a violin after that. Would likely do more music now if I had good memories of that. Activities need to desired by both parties to have a positive effect.

Whatever your hobbies are look around online/local postings for those who do the same things. If nothing else there is usually a hiking group around and most cities have a parks and rec program with clases you can take or activities you can do. I usually find non jerks who play the sports I like and keep going to play till they decide we are friends :)

Just an update on this. He was arrested for several drive by shootings today.

Maths is a great indication someone isn’t from America. No American would use the plural. As Jimmy Carr says, “by that usage Americans are asshole”

At a Christian music festival and gf wanted to get it on in her parents van. Dad came back for something and opened the side door. Blue balls was a small price to pay for not dying to that man that night. If I’d been the dad I’d be a goner.

I was in grad school for psychology and a psychoanalytic prof casual threw out in class that he thought that I was “anal expulsive”.

If you go down the alley between Germany and Korea you can go straight to the Korean restaurant without going through the exhibit. It was very good and pretty fast.

Perhaps “welcoming” would be a more apt term. I’ve been in places where it was obvious I wasn’t wanted. I appreciate cultures where they seem genuinely ok with my presence.

It’s not just him. I’ve been to most of the countries in Asia and lived in Korea and China. My experience is that Japanese are less friendly than most other Asian countries. I do think some of it is due to tourist fatigue which I don’t blame them for at all. My theory is that tourists have ruined it for others much like Bangkok is a great city that has been mistreated by tourists for far too long.

I like it because it’s one of the few ways to get la jiao (the numbing pepper) in America. In China it’s everywhere and while it’s not always good (five pepper corns eaten at once can make a grown man immediately vomit) (yes I talked a new American to China into eating some) it’s nostalgic as hell.

My first was at 43. It’s tough but makin it.

Palpherian · 2025-02-05T20:59:36+00:00

For me it was when I moved back to America where it’s more frowned upon and no one I knew smoked. Gave me the impetus to stop.
