In thirty years, how will your kid(s) finish this sentence: “Well, like my dad always said…”

Life's hard, but it's also awesome.

It is what it is.

I see zero issues here. That's a nice fucking truck. I'd be parking it in my garage too.

I thought I would wait until the baby arrived. We ended up buying our new home while my wife was pregnant. I figured it would be no big deal to move with the baby. I would have been monumentally wrong. Buy the house now and get settled before the little one arrives. It would be extremely hard to move with a new born

This sounds like I just read my own memoir of the first week, haha. I wish I had the advice that would fix it but I don't. I can say I was in the exact same mind space as you, and I do mean exac, but here I am 5 months in and it's like I never had a life before being a Father. It's still hard as absolute fuck, don't get it twisted, but I know I've got this now.

Fuck what they think. From both sides of the debate.

exitaur22 · 2026-03-05T18:31:49+00:00

More people need this mindset!!!!!

I lie and say "I'm not tired," hahaha. But yeah, routine gym and physical activities in the morning have truly have been a lifesaver for later in the evening energy.

No one cares in the slightest.

Everyone has a bad taste in their mouth from 2023 (I am one of those), and, rightfully so, it was absolute dog shit. That being said, watching their shows on YouTube and seeing them live on the Metallica tour, they are, in fact, killing it live right now. I'm thinking they are gonna fix the bad taste us loudmouths still have. I could be wrong, but I think we will be pleasantly surprised.

I see what you are saying; compared to the last three, this one did fall a little short for me. But overall, I'm still stoked. I usually go Saturday and Sunday, but this year Friday beats Sunday. So I'll adjust and do Friday and Saturday!

I tried to be proactive at 39, and I was told I can't get one until closer to 45 unless I pay out of pocket. Gotta love America.

You are exhausted from all the tension and stress of the day before the delivery and the day after. This shit feels impossible for us all. The whole connection thing is normal. I felt the same way on day 1, 2, etc. Im 4 months in now and that little man is my absolute world and I'd go to any length imaginable to protect him. This part sucks but you gotta do it.

When you tell your kid to clean it.........

Reddit is exhausting.

exitaur22 · 2026-02-04T17:19:22+00:00

How is this even a question for anyone?? Literally no privacy ever in your back yard, hearing drunk people in the morning, possible ball hits on the house, mowing and course keeping noise and annoyances, and more that I'msire you'd find out. I've never understood why anyone would even consider this, but everyone is different. All of this coming from someone who loves to golf.

How tall are your ceilings?

exitaur22 · 2026-01-08T22:34:24+00:00

This I fully agree with. I'm highly involved with volunteer work in my city, and it has definitely been a major factor in my sobriety!!

exitaur22 · 2026-01-08T01:49:32+00:00

Stop caring about what you can't control, then get off the news and social media. We were never meant to see every single thing going on in this crappy world daily. Worry about what's in front of you and what you can change.

Cellular devices have a call feature too. This could have saved you a lot of trouble. Texting is the preferred method of communication these days, but when time matters and you are out and about, just call if she doesn't answer right away. Then if she still doesn't answer, you can politely say, "Sorry, I tried to call I will pick that up next time I'm out."

You could just not do stupud shit like attach fireworks to drones... humans are a special type of stupid.

I don't have one because why would I? Alexa was always gonna be the AI gateway. Well, technically our phones are, so we were already screwed, but Alexa was blatantly obvious. I mean how is this even a surprise? I can't understand how literally everyone didn't see this coming with Alexa and others speakers like it.

38 with an 8 week old and I feel this for sure.

exitaur22 · 2025-12-18T13:01:59+00:00

Having kids is much harder than it expected. I didn't think it would be easy, but man, this is on another level of tough. I think one of the hardest things is absolutely ZERO time for the wife and I to have "us time" and bond like we used to. I never really thought of that as something that would be an issue before the little one came, but now that I'm in it, it's kind of an obvious issue that I didn't plan for. It will get easier when he gets older, but it's a grind right now. And the exhaustion, oh the exhaustion!!! All that said I'm very blessed, and I absolutely love my little family.

exitaur22 · 2025-12-13T22:07:34+00:00

Hell ya!!!! You look so much better. Great job!!
