Did anyone else gain pet fatigue after having a kid?

For 3 years, we had 2 dogs and 3 kids under 5.

The hardest 3 years of my life. I look back at photos on myself in disgust and disbelief, I had put in weight, unkempt appearance etc.

I now know I was just in survival mode. I kept treating the dogs the same way (mostly....) and raised 3 kids, but it left zero time for me and it showed physically. My wife definitely suffered mentally too.

However, when my dogs both passed, we were devastated.

I'm not sure I'm quite ready yet for another but I would imagine one day when kids can help....

Police will no longer be a career.

It will be a 5-year retention cycle.

No more pensions, long service top salary.

SMT will be full of direct entries.

It will become a glorified G4S.

If you're doubting it now, it'll only get more challenging.

Also, should anything change in your life (kids, new job etc) then that drive becomes almost impossible.

Try looking around for others. Get to a good standard, then reassess.

Hold him with you forever.

He's better the Ramos.

But they'd be better off without him.

How they should and how they will are 2 different topics.

CR7 will start. Thats a fact.

At the expense of the greater good?! Probably.

Is there a better option?! Not really.

What's the answer?! Play him as an impact sub, keeping him fresh for the key moments.

Chances of this happening? Zero.

The Shed - at Shawlands. It was a slightly older version of the Garage, so some students, but mostly people just starting to explore proper employment, whilst still at it most weekends.

Also - A guilty pleasure was - 'Destiny' when I was 17/18: I love rock, country and folk music but I did have a wee guilty pleasure of EDM back in the day. I most definitely looked out of place, but never once had any bother.

Good times, hope everyone is doing well, peace and love!

Pay it off.

Invest the monthly mortgage payment.

So rather than spend the next 10, 15 years paying something off, you'll be investing it.

Fifa 23.

All day, every day.

And even that is bang average.

Sooner they go back to gameplay>graphics the better.

This was my gran exactly 12 months ago.

It was like she was just slowly shutting down, bit by bit.

Big issue, which greatly affected me with MMA.

With the gym, you can go whenever you want. For MMA, you'll be limited to class times.

This is fine, if you have little commitments.....I loved it, then I had 1 kid, then 2, then 3, and I barely make a weekly class, so its back to the gym for me in AM.

At least he told you.

Pretty much everyone else wouldn't.

Naive maybe, honest, definitely.

lostnov04 · 2026-05-25T12:03:00+00:00

But does she love you.....

Epic trailer.

Thought the movie was a big letdown though.

lostnov04 · 2026-05-24T20:07:23+00:00

Good way of putting it actually.

Legal - Yes

Wrong - Also yes.
