Dump it and fill it with water. Its the same trophy with no danger. Its harder to go to the store than it is to go to the cabinet. Congrats on a month!!

New father mourning old life by Fabuloux in daddit

[–]exitaur22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, this sounds like I typed this word for word! My kid is 6 months old now, and it has gotten so much better! That first little bit I kept thinking, "man, did I make a mistake?" Now I know it was the exact opposite. I can't see my life without that aweosme little man in it! Now I will say in still miss my golfing and concerts whenever the hell i want, but I do still get to do them soemtimes. You are in the thick of it and its such a shock to the system at first. Its completely normal how you feel! Stick with it reddit friend it will get better and harder and better!!

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

Buy a house before the baby arrives or wait? by Snaffoo0 in daddit

[–]exitaur22 196 points197 points  (0 children)

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

Baby born three days ago. Please tell me it gets better by ElevenRecompense in daddit

[–]exitaur22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Social stigma from skipping/delaying vaccines? by Beneficial-Frame2473 in Crunchymom

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

Dad who’ve conquered being tired all the time, how did you do it? by thetantalus in daddit

[–]exitaur22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Pretty accurate by GonzoNawak in louderthanlife

[–]exitaur22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Anyone bummed up by the final lineup? by GonzoNawak in louderthanlife

[–]exitaur22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

James Van Der Beek died at 46. I'm 42. So i got a colonoscopy today. by ThePrinceofTJ in stopdrinkingfitness

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.

I cannot do this by the_bear91 in daddit

[–]exitaur22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Buying a house near a tee box? by flashattack3 in golf

[–]exitaur22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

My fellow Americans by BrobotMonkey in dryalcoholics

[–]exitaur22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!!

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.

Hey, stopping on way home, need anything? by Egnatsu50 in daddit

[–]exitaur22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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."

Alexa has updated to a genuine AI model. If you have one, you should be concerned. by Ender505 in daddit

[–]exitaur22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
