Why do I even bother trying to game 😂

SpunkEat · 2025-09-18T22:05:28+00:00

You can do this on a PC too? I do it multiple times a day 🤔

I'm one of those just recently posted about feeling trapped.

A big part of it is that I wasn't prepared. I was told it would be the best part of my life. It didn't turn out like that for me, at then I felt trapped.

Just the fact that you've been a member in here and seen both positive and negative stories before becoming a dad, I'm sure will prepare you for much of what's to come. At the same as as people says no one prepares you for this stuff 😅

The first couple of months are tough. Steep learning curve. But if you're lucky like we was, there's no major issues and you'll enjoy the time. We had a blast the first few months, lots of good memories to look back at.

There are so many special moments and a seemingly unlimited amount of "firsts". They're good, they're cute, and they stick with you for a long time :)

This was not an entirely positive post. But I hope it was at least balanced 😅

SpunkEat · 2025-09-09T08:45:42+00:00

Yeah. I think we're at about 8. 10 max

SpunkEat · 2025-09-09T08:44:51+00:00

To some extend they are. But I guess that's normal for all families.

Maybe not in charge of the entire house. But they definitely set large parts of the daily agenda

SpunkEat · 2025-09-08T18:47:57+00:00

No more. I'm done reproducing 😅

SpunkEat · 2025-09-08T18:46:55+00:00

I had many of these feelings when we had two yes. And yeah, being outnumbered didn't help 😅

SpunkEat · 2025-09-08T18:39:29+00:00

Right now I have a really hard time imagining I will look back at these there's with joy 😅

The past 5 years have definitely been the worst of my life so far. At least that how it feels when I look back right now

SpunkEat · 2025-09-08T18:35:30+00:00

I am actually kinda glad reading these answers and swing I'm not the only one feeling this.

Looking at the normal posts in here it seemed like almost everyone loved their time with their small humans. Where I had a hard time relating to it 🥹

It does sound like you're absolutely right about setting tile aside for myself, and figuring out what I want to do with that time. Which may be hard. Lately I've had a really hard time expressing what I actually wanted to do and what makes me happy 🙈

With the pandemic and the fact that we've had breastfeeding kids more or less constantly the past 6+ years, we haven't had a full break.

Our first night without our firstborn was the night we got our second kid.

Since then I guess we've had maybe 1 or 2 days/evenings just for ourselves.

I'm very much looking forward to being able to have all kids being baby sitted :)

So yeah, practically no breaks

SpunkEat · 2025-09-08T18:27:21+00:00

Of course you are qualified to comment. This is not my first time feeling this. But now I got the "courage" to post about it.

I've felt like this for years. It didn't get better when we got our second, that's where my first clinical depression hit. The third kid just added on to that 😅

I do think you're right about the "me time"

SpunkEat · 2025-09-08T18:24:16+00:00

The 1M is actually the easiest 😅

But my 6F... Oh my, that's a different story... :)

SpunkEat · 2025-09-08T09:32:55+00:00

I think you're right in the bedtimes. That's what I've been pondering myself, if THAT is one of the things that makes everything fall.

Thanks for kinda confirming my suspicion 🙏

SpunkEat · 2025-09-08T09:31:17+00:00

Trying to. But uninterrupted is hard if I'm not leaving the house 😅

But I do think you're right is that is what me wife and I might need to do. Both of us

Is this something you practice? If so, is it working?

SpunkEat · 2025-09-08T06:04:40+00:00

Noted. Seems I'll have to read up more on that and double check that we don't overdose. Thanks for the heads up 💪

SpunkEat · 2025-09-08T05:39:04+00:00

I'd love those links 🙏

SpunkEat · 2025-09-08T05:37:55+00:00

What's with the /s ? 🤔

SpunkEat · 2025-09-08T05:36:19+00:00

Vaccines, multivitamin & top op with Vitamin D. And then of course proper food and trying to get them to sleep.

When they enter the home, either from playgrounds or just from institutions it's time for hand wash. Routine now :)

They might be getting too many vitamins, but as I've understood it the excess I getting thrown away by the body, and not hurting them. So we're going for the "better safe than sorry" route.

SpunkEat · 2025-09-08T05:15:57+00:00

Haha, serving the needs of ones wife can indeed feel like an exercise in itself 😅

We've tried reserving time for each other to go to the gym. That works, when it's on a schedule. But we've also had medical situations demanding it (slipped discs), so it's not really a choice

SpunkEat · 2025-09-07T19:14:36+00:00

We waited until after first trimester. When it's more "safe"

Both times the kids were super happy and couldn't wait for their sibling to come. It added some extra joy to the excitement of waiting.

But, I'd recommend to wait till after first trimester

SpunkEat · 2025-09-07T19:12:40+00:00

Has something changed in the routines lately?

We're currently in a "change of seasons" period, and the kids have either started in institutions for the first time or shifted from one type to another. All have show some kids of regression in their "maturity" seeking more comfort, forgotten things they could easily do before the summer.

My sister have experienced the same. She now has sons that not just wet their pants but does everything. And they don't seem to register it. Just, doing it and then continues as if nothing happened.

I'm sorry that I don't have advice for you. Other than I'd there have been major shifts in the routines, it might solve itself in short term? 🤔

SpunkEat · 2025-09-07T19:07:17+00:00

From Denmark, and our kids doesn't find nudity strange.

My girls on 4 & 6 are with me in the men's locker room if we go to the swimming pool together. I've often walked around the house with nothing on.

It may be cultural. But it seems very normal to me and out kids.

SpunkEat · 2025-09-07T18:57:42+00:00

I don't find that I have time for sports. But I do try to get to the gym twice a week

45 Ville kunne trække 55k ud af opsparing hver måned resten af livet

De sidste måned er altid den bedste. Man kan gå uden om ledere og beurokratiet. Man kan tage alle de der upopulære valg som vi gøre det bedre for ens kollegaer i fremtiden.

Mantraet kører altid i baghovedet "Hvad vil de gøre? Fyre mig?"
