Comment on Almost done
theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 days agoThis is where i’ve been for about 7 months.
The cracks in my mind are just starting to show. I don’t know if I can keep doing it.
It is different though. She wants me to be a stay at home dad so I left my job of 24 years. First 5 months was awesome. My last day of work was the day before our third little one was born.
She’s in the “cry for nothing until you hold me” phase, so I’m hoping once she cuts it out I’ll be ok again.
I’ve been about to crack though. 4:30 this morning it was bottle time. Mom is working from 4AM TO 2PM at the moment, so that’s just the way it is for now.
I’m so so so tired. I guess I’d be even worse working right now.
I hope you enjoy every minute of retirement.

I remember that time well. Mine are 5 and 10, so I’m moving out of the more intensive child-rearing time. When I retire, they should both be at or near the “too busy for Dad” time, so other than giving rides, my days should be free and clear. I’m really looking forward to it.
Good luck with the little ones!
