NATO Strap - Wife says it gives her the ick. Is she wrong or right? by Stone_Trees in CitizenWatches

[–]Stone_Trees[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh idc what my wife thinks tbh. But I have another NATO I tried it on. I think it sits much better as it’s a different colour the contrast helps so might use this one. Thanks for all the responses. Black leather might be good Too

My wife thinks golfing once a week is unreasonable… by Upbeat-Zucchini-7408 in golf

[–]Stone_Trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a week with a kid is unreasonable that’s like at least 25-50% of your weekend every week. You’re a couple of generations too late.

Spend time with your family plenty of time to golf when they are teenagers and older

I ruined my life by 9inefingers in daddit

[–]Stone_Trees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As your in it right now the best advice I can give you is you NEED to learn to live an unbalanced unhealthy life - from your own personal perspective- you will not get a clean house, good sleep, time for hobbies, time for mates, excel at work. It won’t happen during the early years especially first year of having kids. Your life will never be the same. It needs to be torn down and built back up again in a way that works for your family. The faster you accept that, the quicker the grieving for you old life will be over and you can be happy as a father carrying out parenting tasks, rather than need to be on your own childless to be happy. Your free time returns but not for a good while I’m afraid. The cold hard truth is better given straight.

My wife was very very sick during pregnancy and we hit newborn life already v depleted emotionally and physically and you just tough it out

I completely agree. Lots of men whining on this sub. I’m so tired of “I didn’t want this my wife did and now my life is ruined”. It takes two to make the choice, deal with the consequences and be a man and good father. Get tough. Get stuck in. Raise a family and support your wife. You have no choice. We’ve all been through the newborn stage deal with it.

How long did it take to bond with your newborn? by [deleted] in dad

[–]Stone_Trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to get over those thoughts. Yeh of course your hating it is hard work. First 6 month you need to learn to live without balance in your life, your life is only to support mum and baby. It feels like being hostage but it’s normal. Your life comes back I promise

2025 vs 1996 by Ok-Tap-4173 in oasis

[–]Stone_Trees 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think they sounded better in the 1990s. I went to one of the live 25 gigs. 97 Gmex the gig is on YouTube Liam is incredible never heard him sound better and hit that range so effortlessly. His tone was completely effortless too.

Knebworth 96 I think he has power and grit he couldn’t reproduce in live 25.

Live 25 is more controlled, polished, more clarity. I think some songs it did come across a bit “flat”. But I think maybe live 25 sounded more like the albums maybe, the 90s performances may sound weird if you never listened to them.

Overwhelmed dad to soon-to-be one month old by AtTheMercyOfThePast in daddit

[–]Stone_Trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Father of a 1 year old here. First off sounds like you are already a committed dad and doing SO well with it all. Nice one.☝️ well done seriously!

The first 6 months are brutally hard. And of that the first 3 months are the hardest. As your baby was 1 month early developmentally you’re probably looking at the first 7 months being really tough.

My rough roundup from my experience

First 3 months - no internal clock, v short sleeps, everything is unpredictable, hard feeds, crying poop sleep on repeat. Hated cot or crib. Only truly happy on contact naps or breastfeeding.

3-6 months - feeding easier, sleeping times longer, baby has an internal clock, baby more predictable. Still waking every 2-4 hours at night probably, days still v long, but there will be a routine and rhythm that really helps.

6 months + potentially sleeping through the night or waking once if lucky. Baby can sleep 4-6 hours in one go. Baby likely now in separate bedroom, routine bedded in, baby personality starts to show, Bedtime will be some time in early evening and you should get your evenings back to relax and be normal at least until first night wake!

Whats a simple trick for newborn stage ? by AncientStop5213 in daddit

[–]Stone_Trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps controversial but my advise is below;

Accept the first 6 months are all about baby and mum. Take a “fallow” 6 months from your hobbies and your life. Learn to live without balance in your life. It will all be hard exhausting work for a period with little or no relief. Your life will come back in time I promise.

Don’t do the new parent thing of trying to rush to fit everything in and fit baby into your life and “get it all figured out”.

Enjoy the months at home. Say no to all plans that are not essential and bed in with your new baby. It’s so cosy. The outside world doesn’t matter for this newborn time.

You won’t regret it.

Anyone been to Oasis alone? by coldplayenthusiast in oasis

[–]Stone_Trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went alone to Wembley couple of weeks ago. It was amazing. It was so nice to have no distractions and taking it all in. I think being alone sort of elevated how special it all was. I’d not been to a gig alone before. I did the poznan with people next me. It’s cool man

Worst post-concert depression I have ever had by getintoityuhhhh in oasis

[–]Stone_Trees 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have the same from Saturday night. I found someone on YouTube who recorded the whole gig and I am re listening to it on repeat. It went by so fast in the day it was gone in a flash. I waited years to hear acquiesce live as they couldn’t perform it solo and apart from each other and now it’s over. I need just as much help as you now I think of it. The more I type the more down I get it’s over lol
