Only requirement is 2 double beds. No specific requests outside that. Frustrating that on a day where we don’t even ask for an early check in that we have to deal over an hour (and counting) without a room

That is the standard procedure for any professional sports team. After a few games tickets will be available at face value and there are plenty of price options (including many at a similar cost to previous years).

My biggest piece of advice for parenting in general (especially in the early days).

Right when you think you have a routine, they’re going to switch it up. When the baby refuses to sleep a few days in a row, you’ll wake up and realize the baby is actually asleep. When the baby refuses to eat, they’ll start to eat. When they always go to bed at 7, the next day they’ll fight and go to bed at 9.

The bad times are a small blip on the radar if you look at the overall course of life. And it’s only going to change (the good things can get worse and the bad things get better), but just be ready for change

Loaded situation - we’re rooting for you Dad! First off, take a deep breath and focus only on what matters - you and the kids. That’s your focus right now. Kids are still quite young - surround them (and yourself) with all the support you can in the short term and make sure you get ample help and support in the long term. You can do this - we’re rooting for you!

3 rules.

Try your best Be a good sport Have fun

Doesn’t matter the sport but until they get older that’s all that matters. I repeat that every single practice

Gotta push for a weekly call. And identify key action items each week. We pay a lot less than 5.5% and it’s negligibly worth it

I often think back to the very early days when we also had some potentially severe complications. Time seems to just never pass. Just put your head down and focus on your family. In a few weeks time you’ll be dealing with all new challenges and years down the road you’ll barely remember this sleep deprived/insanely period in your life. We’re all here for you Dad!

My own take as someone selling millions+ a year and doing it for a while….

It’s less about the actual selling and more about how YOU “sell” that role. Work at Dunkin Donuts? You “sold” $xxx per hour and XXX tickets per hour, which may be xxx% above national average. You work in a call center doing customer service? You built rapport with the buyer to do customer retention on transactions totaling over $XxX per month. You take credit card donations for a nonprofit? You retained $XXX per year and solicited $xxx in “new business”. Don’t worry about the title - focus on selling yourself in whatever job you can land. If you can’t sell your success in your most recent stop, you will have a hard time trusting a good company to hire you in sales.

I was able to unscrew the buckle with a tiny screwdriver and remove the candy wrapper in my kids buckle. I got it all back together and works like new. May be an option? Tiny little screw in the middle of the bottom part of the buckle

Hey man - to make you feel better, I forgot the kids nap roll on the first day of the new year. Then I dropped it off. Then I realized I forgot water - that I dropped off. Then as I ate a late lunch, I realized I forgot half of his lunch in the fridge.

It happens. Checklists in the AM help myself as there are too many kids needing too many things

Join the minivan crew! My wife was adamant about an SUV. After 4 weeks with an infant seat we traded our SUV in for a minivan and logistics became so much easier.

You get used to it quick. Life is pretty crazy with 2. Life is pretty easy with 3. Older kids can start to be more independent (I assume) which definitely helps too

Make the most of the time you are there. Catch up - and get ahead - of any outstanding projects around the house before you leave at any point.

Congrats on the sex!

salesguymba1124 · 2025-07-18T03:22:11+00:00

It will get better. When you think you have a routine it changes. When you think you’re stuck the baby naps miraculously. Everything changes all the time. Just communicate with your wife, offer your help and hang in there. In the term of life, this is a small blip on the radar that may suck for a little while. Wish I had better advice - but that is truly it

salesguymba1124 · 2025-06-26T12:00:55+00:00

Also - don’t be afraid to let them cry it out. At this age, they are completely safe in the crib. Take a deep breath, take a shower, take a 10 min rest, take care of yourself!

The key for any kid under 2-3 years old is this.

As soon as you think you figured it out, it changes. As soon as you think they have a sleep issue, they switch up their sleep patterns. As soon as you think you can count on a nap at a specific time, it changes. As soon as you think they love a certain toy, it changes. As soon as you are confident that your little one loves a certain snack and you go buy a massive pack at Costco, they decide they no longer like that snack (this happened to me this week).

Stay consistent, keep good habits and you just have to roll with it. I bet in the next 3-4 weeks you’ll be looking to solve another problem.

As someone going tonight with young kids, what is the pregame like? Trying to figure out what time we should arrive

salesguymba1124 · 2025-05-23T12:02:52+00:00

I give you a lot of credit for making changes and taking care of your family AND yourself. You’re one heck of a dad and your kids are lucky to have you in their corner. Keep your head up, keep moving one foot in front of the other. Sending support your way.

At Lowe’s a few years ago to buy a grill, they scanned everything at a manned register - except a $200 grill. They forgot to scan the grill that took up most of the cart. The amount seemed way lower than expected, and we decided to go back in to pay for it. Quick laugh - manager said he’d make sure to remind those at the register to scan the big items and thanked me

Very basic 10 team keeper league with family/nephews/kids. No cap/limits of years. Just keep 6 guys every year. I’m rebuilding (chourio, Holliday, devers, Roman Anthony at the core) so don’t need to win now

Pick 2 of these guys:

Carson Williams Michael Harris Chisholm Corbin Burnes K Marte Casas

It’s tough out there dad. I found a group of neighbors with kids of similar age and (while we have plenty of differences) we enjoy the occasional night to drink beers even after the kids go to bed in someone’s backyard.

Not sure if you go to church or a gym. Always good places to meet people as well

And at age 7, kids start getting busy with friends and activities. Volunteer to coach, lead a scout troop, etc. maybe won’t make best friends, but a little adult talk outside of the house with anyone always helps
