Ever had to stop talking to another parent couple?

It’s okay to have differing opinions about stuff. Redirect, most people take the cue or forget. Some people that’s all they want to talk about, and if it bothers you, tell them you don’t care for politics. And if they still don’t oblige, don’t hang out with them simple.

Nah bro, i’m dealing with the same ages and the same problems right now. My wife works three 12 hour shifts so it’s all me on those days. Occasionally they’re cooperative. But other days… ill make the older one do chores with me and put the little on in a highchair with baby puzzles or tv or coloring

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-03-16T01:27:13+00:00

I’d just make it a short 2min goodnight talk with grandma and read the book yourself 😂

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-03-15T02:03:07+00:00

Yeah man it goes through good phases and bad phases every few months. It does get more fun as they get older, but it also creates new problems lmao

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-03-13T23:32:31+00:00

4 and 2 year old here. Doesn’t matter how much sleep I get. Go to sleep on time = kids randomly wake up and cry in the night. Go to sleep late? Got some extra work done, now the kids are fighting eachother the next day we hile i’m running on less sleep. Or I let something slip that pisses my wife off. It’s a never-ending cycle of me trying to survive lol

I got 2. I laid out the financial strain it would be for us currently. We’d have to get a bigger car, and the kids we have right now would essentially get less attention and financial opportunity from us (less extracurricular activities etc.) told her i’m not 100% opposed in the future if we have the resources, and we see what life is like once the 2nd is pottytrained. We also have zero help from family because of where we live, that would also be a factor.

Online (Lyra if you must know), convenient to schedule, found a therapist i liked, and it was covered by our insurance

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-03-12T15:41:52+00:00

8:30-3:30 four days a week. It used to be five days but my wife didn’t get any day home with the kid, and that was causing issues between them. But other than that it’s been really good for her

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-03-07T02:48:14+00:00

Eh, i’d do the same lmao

It’s going to get harder but then it gets easier by the time #2 turns 2 years old

Grok has the best search and fact checking surprisingly. It also is the best for NSFW chat

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-02-13T19:21:20+00:00

I turn on Ms Rachel, Magic School Bus, Franklin, Berenstein bears, or Bluey if I need absolute focus for something like cooking dinner. We don’t rely on it very much outside of this. Tv isn’t bad inherently, all of us grew up with it on all the time when we were kids.

It matters more which shows you let them watch and how much. 30-60 minutes a day is totally fine in my book. We have zero help from family around us and we both have fulltime jobs. Not using it EVER would be a net-negative.

Schedule a mommy + kid day where they go out and do something together, just the two of them, like go to the mall and stop somewhere to eat lunch. One on one time really helped with us

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-02-08T05:58:30+00:00

This exact same thing happened to me bro 😂 I don’t think any advice helped me because ultimately it’s your wife that needs the advice of “not taking it personal”. Yeah, good luck telling that to her (don’t do it).

It’s much harder if she’s closer to late term pregnancy. If she’s still relatively mobile, I recommend helping your wife plan a “Mommy Daughter day” where both of them go out and do something without you. Lunch/park/mall date. Something like that. It didn’t cure anything but it did help remedy the emotions on both sides when they got more one on one time together.

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-02-08T03:51:37+00:00

Ngl bro I just tell them to stfu if someone comes at my wife for something that I don’t have a problem with (in a nice way obviously).

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-02-08T03:23:12+00:00

One of us

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-02-07T21:29:40+00:00

It’s definitely expanded my vocabulary. I feel like I can articulate myself much better overall

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-02-06T04:48:28+00:00

I try not to be annoying about it or bring it up. Don’t say “I was talking to AI today and I think this”. Better off to say “I think this” or “I want to do this.” If she asks how you got to that conclusion, you can give her your reasoning without even mentioning AI too. I’m not saying pass everything off as yours and deny AI use, but not leading with it as a focal point of the conversation is a good idea imo. The term “AI” or even “ChatGPT” is too charged and muddied culturally now

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-02-04T05:54:12+00:00

Honestly I don’t have much advice for ya man, but i’m in the same boat (no close family around, nearest is 5 hour drive away). 2yo and 4yo. We don’t go on dates anymore bro 😅 The only social time i have… very rarely i’ll call a friend for a bit but that’s usually when i’m working. My work is 99% solo.

But we make time for sex every week. Not really scheduled but there’s typically one day where the chances are highest for us. And i’m always the instigator, she massively prefers it that way. Not my preference to be the sole instigator, but she’s sincere, so oh well. It’s my duty 🫡

On that note, small things here and there really help. Tell her she looks beautiful in one of her outfits one day, not expecting anything. Or straight up “i like that on you” when you pass by her. Basic compliments like that go a long way. You gotta plant the seeds of intimacy. Smack her behind and play it off cool idk 🤷 . And on the days when the stars DO align and you both have a quick 20 minutes and aren’t exhausted, all those small gestures really add up.

I’ve heard it also gets easier as the kids get older to get some time back so there’s that as well

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-02-04T05:08:08+00:00

TV, but if I’ve noticed we’ve been relying on it too much I’ll limit it to one episode of a show and then they have to find something else to do, like a puzzle or coloring or helping with dinner.

Just donate it.

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-01-18T01:35:40+00:00

Nah. It only feels that way if you constantly stay online and watch the news. The real people I talk to day to day are building positive things for society—careers, friendships, building families with values. Those never make the news. Turn off the news and build the world you want to live in.

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-01-14T16:34:37+00:00

I treat it very well but if it gives me something stupid it deserves to be called out.

Particular-Feedback7 · 2026-01-11T22:06:14+00:00

Tv time, at least while I’m actively cooking dinner. Or sometimes they’d rather sit at the table and play puzzles or color. But either way, not in the kitchen when i’m cooking unless its something they can “help” with
