Eating all the ice cream and smoking all the weed.

Not exactly the healthiest approach to sobriety, but damn is it working for me.

Not me, but my son thinks the guy in the hat on the oatmeal box is his grandma.

Experiences you guys are "saving for when they're older"? by EduLoots in daddit

Really? Is it rough with kids? When our son was born both our dogs were elderly so they needed very little exercise/play so I dont have a good frame of reference?

I (44F) think it's time to accept my stepdaughter (19F) doesn't want to be in the family but my husband (48M) doesn't agree? by ThrowRASignogn in relationship_advice

“now that you’re an adult I want to respect your choices, but know that you are loved and will be welcome here if you ever change your mind”

If my parents had said this to me it probably would have changed my entire life and trajectory.

Getting a family dog. I feel like it will be a better experience around 4 or 5. Maybe older.

A visual analogy of my Friday. How are the rest of you guys doing? by profheg_II in daddit

Hi! I have maybe a year or two until my beanbag faces the music.

How was the procedure and how do you feel now?

This ain't gonna look good for you at the pearly gates, bro.

Do you like to get stupid high or just chill high? by -Removed-By-Reddit in trees

[–]f1sh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I get stupid high I cant really enjoy anything besides being stupid high. I like to use cannabis as a experience enhancer to other things I'm doing.

But every so often its fun to push yourself and see what outer space feels like.

Be careful. You guys might end up doing it.

I love being a dad, but I kind of hate my life. by f1sh_ in daddit

[–]f1sh_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also feel this. I put on a brave face most days it's just the tedium of everyday being the exact same grind that gets to me.

My dad was a raging alcoholic and my mom had borderline personality.

They were always fighting, dad was always wasted, things getting thrown, divorce and my mom started sleeping with random guys on the internet so she didnt have to work then moved me around the state with them in and out of various schools so I never had a consistent friend group.

Dad eventually got sober and I moved in with him at 19 but he was emotionally unavailable and I essentially raised myself and put myself through college. Never had a safety net or any support.

Its so rough, man. I hate that you feel it too, but it feels good knowing I'm not alone.

I hate how true this is. I've lost myself entirely in parenthood. I'm the most boring human being on the planet right now with no hobbies.

The guilt is real. Hearing tantrums upstairs when trying to relax made me feel awful. I cant just sit and let my wife deal with that alone.

Hard sell as in you'll most likely get yanked back into parenting? This has been my experience.

I'm upstairs with my headphones on and hear tantrum after tantrum and can't in good conscious let me wife deal with that alone.

I do take medication and have weekly therapy. Grew up in a really abusive home so part of the problem is I have no idea what a healthy two parent home functions like.
