I miss dates

Dates are a big deal. People without kids don't know how valuable dates really are. Nothing against those people, they have it great and I'm happy for them. But holy shit, time to yourself is a precious commodity once the kiddos come along. It changes the game for sure.

When me and and the now wife first met we went out all the time. We rarely cooked, never just sat around on the weekends, and wouldn't be caught dead going to bed at 8:30 P.M. on a regular basis. Then we had two kids back to back........and babies are crazy 24/7 until they reach age 23.

Hi Daddy


Babies are so crazy that sometimes they will hold you prisoner for days on end. Children take up all of your time and then they treat you like shit in return. Babies pretend to be your dreams and then turn into your worst fucking nightmare.

You mother does you know what you know where


Is that a goblin standing over my bed in the pitch black night? Nope, it's my son acting like a freak?

Did the dog shit on the floor? Wait, I don't have a dog, that was probably my son.

What do you mean he finger painted his room??...........mother of god........There are shit hand prints everywhere.

Multiple Choice::::

On a Saturday I would most likely??? (Choose one of the following)

1. Relax for a bit. See what my friends are up to. Go out and maybe party a little.
2. Take a break from work. Maybe see a movie.
3. Sit at my house watching puppets, listening to people cry, and changing shitty underwear.
4. Chill with my boyfriend/girlfriend/ wife/ husband /butt buddy.

No one ever picks number 3. I love my kids but number 3 is bullshit.



So that being said. Dates are very important. I get super stoked about going to the theater just me and my wife. Doing little things just got way more interesting. It's just funny how perspective works. No one appreciates anything until it's taken away. We don't realize what we have until it's gone. We take everything for granted. But not matter what, we will deal with it because our kids deserve it. It's a pretty crazy thing when you can love someone so much that even though they are literally monsters, you wouldn't have it any other way.
