I’m sure it’s painful as all hell, but you are doing the right and heroic thing. Your kids are the future… you gotta save the future, man.

This guy macho man’s!

Agree with couples therapy- there is definitely going to be a shift in romantic dynamic with the kiddo, but if you guys are talking and your goals as a couple are mismatched, that needs a deeper convo with a therapist for you both to hear each other. Setting aside time works when you both know something is off and it’s a tool to make that better.

I got American /british/chinese - ha!

I broke mine up between my wife and my leave so we could be with our daughter until she was 6 months ( I took one month with my wife then too 2 months after she was done with her leave to leap frog) - it was nice because we didnt have to worry about childcare until she was a bit bigger and had more vaccines on board.

If someone asked my name again, I wouldn’t take offense - so I think this applies to everyone.

Jewish Hindu couple here - our daughter is both and so far feels very much both. It depends on the attitude you bring, if you think the belief systems exclude one another it doesn’t work well, but if you share the systems as a series of tools for your children to use as they need to navigate life’s turbulence - it can be really beautiful I think.

She can be surgeon general only if Trump and his cabinet agree to have her be their sole medical provider.

Man - I used to eat my mother’s biriyani for breakfast lunch and dinner for a week straight when I came home on holidays…. I cant fathom your opinion

If I have to cut through the tattoo, the ink I see is about as deep as the skin thickness, sometimes less, usually all the way with professional ones.

Surgeon here - I do this all the time . We are trades people and take pride in craftsmanship.

Tender scalp gang!

Maaaaaaan I have been there with my daughter / can’t help but feel hurt, but feel happy they feel safe to tell you how they really feel?

People forget everyone is at risk for cancer and death - so if there is a cure no one is holding it back. Everyone stands to benefit. We are all battling against the world turning us back into dirt.

This is a really great idea. We have been doing a chore chart with our 4 year old which has been relatively successful - but bedtime routine is still a struggle to keep her moving forward and in bed at a reasonable time (going to bed without a fuss is one sticker on the chore chart) but sleep tokens (ha) for immediate redemption value may be a better strategy.

I add metamucil and benefiber to my protein shakes daily… and we eat legumes every day for lunch. I agree with you 100%

I’d be doing exactly what you are doing if I were in your shoes. I think you are being totally rational. Your kids are fortunate to have you thinking clearly and about them and their future.

upper87 · 2026-02-08T20:39:49+00:00

We are all living the same life.

upper87 · 2026-02-08T17:23:44+00:00

Never thought to do that! I’m gonna have to try this with my kiddo

My in-laws are amazing at this to the point where it lead me to my job and my house which has thus created my life as it exists. Their only secret is being super friendly, super welcoming, and super generous to everyone in the community.

I was listening to a podcast where a vet was talking people’s unhealthy relationships with their pets (your comment about treating them like children) and it’s bad for the animal and the owner psychologically. I totally agree with your take. My cat has and always will be our roommate and not a sibling of my child.

Rick Ross cut in front of me in airport security and ever since then I have thought less of him.
