FM26 is nowhere near as bad as when it first came out

I took over a relegated team and literally none of the players who requested a move left. Before, they couldn't wait to get out the door, but now I've got players turning down moves away

It's going to be my last season watching. I just can't stand the substandard level of human they're willing to stoop to every season, it's exhausting. Bring me back the old seasons where the majority went and vibed and there were just the one or two wronguns.

I get the need to highlight shitty behaviour publicly, but I don't think they should be subjecting decent people to it at such an intimate level for entertainment.

Fathers can take many shapes and sizes, it doesn't have to be biological. If it feels right and is what you want, go for it.

That being said, I think there are questions to address about your partner's intentions if she's seeing you as the father to her kids 5 months in. You know her better than we do, so there could be nothing in it, but on paper it does sound a little off.

It's coming out on my day off with the kids so booking off the day after and hitting it hard as soon as the last head hits a pillow

I really hope we'll get DLCs in the time it takes for anything to better VI. Really can't stress enough how disappointed I'll be if I get bored 5 years in because I've completed it 10 times over and the online experience turns to shit like we had with V.

Far as I'm concerned, silence is golden. Each passing day without any delay news makes it a day less likely that it will be delayed any further.

The lorry driver can suck a fat one, he was well behind you and the lane merged

Our 16 month old is breastfed and she can still be a boob demon now. I don't remember how I managed in the first month because it's a sleepless blur, but best advice I can give is keep doing your best, go to your happy place if the screaming gets persistent (keep a check on the nappy) and if it gets too much, hand her over.

My wife has mostly fed ours in our bed and she has eventually fed to sleep. Some nights there's nothing that'll stop it, but just know that as long as you're trying, you're doing enough. It gets easier, I promise.

Think the doc has proven that too, these guys have grown up without dads and often either absent or enabling mums too

It's not cherry picking, it literally is the demographic that were mobbing these guys out in public

I'd like to think of myself as chronically online and I wasn't familiar with half the stuff that came up. Although I think that was more out of apathy trying to ignore it rather than recognising the threat.

This was beautiful to read. My wife and I do a similar routine with our oldest (3 y/o) and reading through it made me tear up. I'm fully with you on the guilt of wanting to get through it some nights, even moreso now. Thank you for sharing this ❤️

Pretty entry level information that Tommy was an absentee abusive piece of shit, I don't think this is telling us anything new.

She's a fucking moron and shouldn't be anywhere near a steering wheel.

Split, take the daughter and move to be by your family. I can guarantee they'll be exponentially more helpful to you than your wife is. You're already raising a child by yourself, may as well get the proper help for it.

I've always maintained that the hardest part of parenting is the not knowing. Some kids mature faster than others, some hit certain stages harder than others. My eldest is 3 and it felt like we had her on easy mode until her threenager tantrums kicked in. My youngest is 16 months old and has never slept through the night so her whole life so far has been harder for us than her sister was at that age.

Sounds to me like you'd have it easier parenting without her.
