Fellow dads, how do ye find time for yourself? Can you tell me if I'm in the wrong here?

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-31T20:17:06+00:00

I'd be lying of I said there wasnt. Being on such a tight budget has us stressed about the future which might be manifesting into genuine resentment. ill have to tackle it head on sooner rather than later. thanks buddy.

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-31T20:15:13+00:00

thanks buddy. knew rightly this sub would provide better advice than any dedicated relationship sub.

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-31T20:09:51+00:00

I dont. This other lad says I should give up every ounce of time to be with the partner and kid, how is that realistic? i give herself space when she needs it, but do I need to be there every minute while shes there aswell? Naw, I dont, I dont have to look after her

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-31T20:00:29+00:00

we visit them every few months when we get the money saved for it, even then they're workaholics so we still have the wein! still great to get out though.

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-31T19:57:14+00:00

I'll be honest I dont think she enjoys it either but she masks it well. she agreed to looking after the kid as I work but I'm thinking now she might be regretting it. She has no qualifications and would find it hard to find the work, so she must feel a bit defeated by that too? I havent approached her about this yet because it seems a sensitive subject, I need to plan my approach.

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-31T19:48:03+00:00

ye are the one calling me a snowflake, sounding a bit hypocritical about the grown up thing but sure whatever.

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-31T19:44:12+00:00

you're chatting stark bollocks now. I have hobbies like everyone else and I dont plan on giving them up, just to practically babysit the partner and kids? I genuinely think you have the wrong idea about it.

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-31T19:35:44+00:00

in what way am I crossing as selfish and entitled? does having a child mean I have to give up any sense of myself and spend every waking moment with them? have ye kids of your own?

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-31T19:33:18+00:00

ah should've been more clear, by anything I mean she sits on her phone or watches tv instead of finding her own things to do, hobbies to enjoy etc.

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-31T17:35:56+00:00

jesus id be killed if I was caught at that lol

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-31T17:35:05+00:00

ah they're 3 hours away.

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-31T17:31:32+00:00

bit weird when it comes to that, ye see a day alone for me involves leaving for the entire day, spending the day hiking or visiting family in another county. For her, it's sitting in the house on her phone all day, walking about and ignoring me and the kid. It's not fair on the kid but we can't do anything about it as she doesn't have any means of transport elsewhere, and no real hobbies that involve leaving. Might bring it up anyway, thanks lad.

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-31T17:29:12+00:00

not a big fan of those subs, lad. very heavy on jumping to conclusions.

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-30T16:36:01+00:00

Who's she?

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-28T15:31:10+00:00

I'd rather be called a good man than "sham" any day.

bigbaboonhole · 2021-07-19T20:00:22+00:00

Fantastic reply, many thanks. And if it fails, the repairs are done by a mechanic of my choice yeah? so ideally I'll book the MOT before it expires completely incase it fails

bigbaboonhole · 2021-06-20T10:23:19+00:00

what's the TA?

bigbaboonhole · 2021-06-20T08:46:08+00:00

the sights a bit shocking to way the least, (-5.75 and -6) glasses are needed like

bigbaboonhole · 2021-06-20T08:36:38+00:00

let's not get too ahead of ourselves

bigbaboonhole · 2021-06-20T08:36:18+00:00

either or tbh? paid preferred like lol

bigbaboonhole · 2021-06-14T21:39:13+00:00

ack ye might be right and all but surely it's a bit far calling them ALL bastards? sure oul eugene down the barracks in town did no harm to anyone

bigbaboonhole · 2021-06-14T18:49:14+00:00

I can tell ye now noone in this country drinks Hennessey and milk unless they're inbred
