Remember that? 2009, “Obamacare has death panels!” Now look at us. Trump is the two time, citizenship is no longer safe, the law doesn’t matter. MAGA is being loyalty tested with Epstein. We got pickleball & robotheism. Alex Jones basically covers for the CIA & FBI now. Putin still in power.

Such a great time! Oh, and genocide daily!

You mean the nuclear bombs HELP it? :O /s

Y’all both got a lot going on, and yes, should have worked on it before kids, but here y’all are.

1. When we had our first kid (12 now), I really struggled with the emotional connection piece for weeks. It’s common. I don’t think I had a strong emotional connection until she was like 2 or something. I had bad anger issues, dealing with my own depression & BS. But, she’s 12 now.
2. With our second, the emotions for her came faster. I was in less stress, more established career wise, but my wife struggled more with postpartum. She never struggled with depression and finally found herself going through feelings of inadequacy & feeling like a failure. She got on meds, made a big difference, and it eventually worked out with her getting off of them.
3. Our third kid was significantly easier for both of us. We had different struggles, but it wasn’t kid related.

I know where you are mentally. You need to find a healthy outlet for the resentment and then come back to what you have now, someone dependent on you.

You can/could be a deadbeat or absent, but you may be a better parent for a different age. My wife was great with little ones (0-2). I did much better with toddlers and young kids (3-8). We’re both getting used to tweens.

I know it might be a financial strain, but you should both seek therapy. This isn’t a pejorative (as is “You’re so messed up!”), but therapy can help significantly, especially your partner. She may want to consider a psych.

Good luck. For me, the first few weeks were the worst. No sleep, just doing shit on auto-pilot like “why the f*ck did we do this…?” But my kids have brought incredible joy in my life. I wouldn’t want them to disappear now, no matter how much work it is some days.

Call me when he wins anything meaningful. He’s an asshole, an immigrant, and the most he has is fake fans from a website that people still call by its last name.

This is just attention seeking. There was a pole about Americans wanting a third party, but we have some. They really haven’t done much due to the mechanics of our voting system.

Was just about to quote this. Seems like they really read the book. 🤡

“It’s a diamond now, the Oval Office! Look what I’ve done to it! Most respectful EVER!” /s

“That’s a great idea! Who is this guy? Can we get him on staff? I love this guy!”

Tl;dr Mostly false

“We’ll make them in America, I think? We’ll look at the numbers and see, but I think it’s going to be a great time. Maybe we’ll get WWE here next? Linda knows something about that. I’m in the Hall of Fame-“

“Think of this: blood sports. Just like Teddy used to do. Remember Teddy? They called the teddy bears after him, can you believe it? Maybe we’ll make some, Trump Teddies-“

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll get more Old Testament quotes for the next time.
