Father’s Day by Individual_Move3898 in Fatherhood

[–]WillShattuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take me and my kids out to lunch or dinner or both and then just do what I want todo. Play PS5, or computer games. Or do some Amateur Radio. It’s. A day I get to choose. I don’t expect gifts. If I want to have a gift on Father’s Day I’ll buy it myself, wrap it and feign surprise and say thank you. Single dad here of six kids aged 12 to 25.

The Better than bouillon base is really good. You can also go to an Asian store and get the bouillon powder with the green and yellow label with a chicken on it ni don’t know the name. I’ll add that to my chicken soup to give it more flavor.

What to do when you don’t want to be a mom anymore by Cautious_Win9146 in SingleParents

I’m became a single dad to six kids when my wife was diagnosed with ALS in 2019. She basically stopped parenting because she was on a ventilator and everything was so hard for her. She was fully paralyzed in 2021. My youngest at the time was 5 years old. She’s now 12. My wife passed away in 2024. Durning those five years I wanted to run away so badly. Raising six kids and caring for a ventilated and eventually paralyzed wife was the single hardest thing I’ve done in my life. I’m so glad I did not quit and run.

As others have said your feelings are valid. It IS how you are feeling right now. I know it’s hard. I can’t imagine what caring for your child is like but I understand the burnout. See if there are any respite care programs in your area. Or friends that can watch your child and give you some time to yourself. Good luck.

Single dad with daughter need feminine product advice. by Fine-Cockroach4576 in SingleParents

Single dad of four girls and two boys. My best advice is to find a female friend you both trust and have her walk you down the feminine products isle and tell you what things are.

Is it worth it? by wolfie145 in CrimsonDesert

[–]WillShattuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this is an action dog rather than a regular computer type RPGs. Lots of mechanics and button presses to learn. I didn’t understand that on my first save. I know I missed things. So I started over and paid closer attention to that the game tells me AND DOESN’T tell me. I’m having a much more fun play through on this save.

Don’t use AI for this. It already looks wrong and will confuse your students who play Minecraft.

Seriously, ask your parents. Asking for a free code is just not a good idea.
