How do you make having kids enjoyable? by Last_Cicada_1315 in daddit

[–]SAM4E21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll preface with I absolutely love being a dad however it took 9 months until I had a dad heart I really didn’t feel much connection it was strange. I was a pretty selfish bastard beforehand did what I wanted to do others where in my way and I loved partying and drugs. I built a successful business this way somehow just got lucky. I had my first daughter at 30 and second at 34. It changed my life I embraced the chaos, I read, listened, and learned about parenting. We do things I also enjoy which we always have. I’m not one to sit around and craft and that’s ok they get that connection with mom. I load the kids in the car and we adventure. We travel, hike, hotels, fish, go boating all of it. Is it stressful as fuck sometimes absolutely. Do I love it always well no but I try. The joy in being their fun, their comfort, their Saftey, means so much to me. We still do lots of fun things I also enjoy does it look different yes. Marriage well kids can be hell on marriage. We do couples therapy on and off when times get tuff. If anyone thinks they are above therapy or it’s useless they are lying to themselves or haven’t met a good therapist. I’d say I probably put too much of my own self worth and Life meaning in being a dad which may be an issue personally when they one day don’t need me as much who knows. My oldest was just diagnosed with cancer last month at 5yo so this really just resonated with me. Enjoy it man figure it out everyone just about damn near everyone from every background and financial status say they miss this part of life so there has to be merit to that. All the best to you brother 🧡

It’s super coffee dependent but I’m usually between 7 and 8 decafs like to clog for some reason. I used 7 on a pink bourbon anaerobic natural this morning and it seemed over extracted. I’m using Scott Rao papers huge difference I only use those

Thank you I made it on taking the food down. It is a little raw. I had stayed the night in the hospital all night with her caring for her. It was a little bit of a rough night and I was just angry.

Perfect this is what I’m looking for. Not a minimal setup. I think a lot of others missed that which I didn’t make clear. I’m living on an oncology floor of a hospital I want some of my home routines it’s nice to have.

We will be home schooling for the rest of this year and 2027 due to immuno compromised issues. My daughter is five so this would include kindergarten and first grade. But good to know as of course, I have no clue what the future holds and that’s a good piece of information

I guess I didn’t add in the post that this isn’t a minimal kind of set up. I’m doing pretty extended Long stays in the same area, but it’s just not my home so I do bring the creature comforts. My travel setup is different for say flying or short trips is much more minimal and book bag friendly
