WHEN IS NAP TIME??

When the big hand and little hand are pointing at numbers

[snipelfritz]

God that reminds me of my sisters kids. "Oh they're just crying because they're tired."

Go the fuck to sleep then, don't god damn cry when you can just sleep. I don't understand kids at all.

It's because their tiny brains are not yet fully formed.

[Invisible Man]

Hahaha yeah successfully navigating nap time is the hardest thing I think I have ever done. Every single time I put a kid to bed I feel like Indy swapping out the bag of sand for the idol in Raiders...so tense.

One of them is fuckin done napping (3); the other is a straight-up nightmare as far as sleeping goes.

And yeah, 'go to sleep if you're tired' makes sense if you are a rational person, but these are children, and they thrive on chaos, insanity, and noise. Which is why I like them in the first place.

Oh, and mac'n'cheese. They thrive on that, too.

Also, my mom called Admissions at the college I work for so she could get me to answer the phone. Because I have not been returning her calls...because she is unpredictable and frightening, and I don't know how to handle it. So that was a fun call to work through.

Sir, you have just completed your doctrine in children (early years).
Congratulations.

I hope your situation with your mother comes to a relatively painless point of resolution.
that sounds awkward, dude.

[Achtane]

Man, we gotta find a place to live as soon as possible. The atmosphere here is either outright shitty or I feel like I'm walking on eggshells all the time. I don't even look forward to coming home after work.

[UglyCasanova]

Get out! ^^^

Incoming pedal lost in the mail...Boo!

[jrfox92]

Pretty sure I'm starting to get sick.
I hate that feeling where you're just starting to feel warm and a little ache-y that's just enough to let you know something's wrong but isn't enough for you to actually feel sick, yet.

[Invisible Man]

These kids just will not sleep. Up at 4 every day.

Probably gonna have another one this year.

...aaaaand pregnant.



News doesn't belong in this thread, though.

More voices to send through pedals, right?

Sleeping is some fucking art form shit. We had first round of vacccines yesterday and baby was a tota breeze. Everything was going awesome while I was at work. Wife was like, at 45 minutes I put baby in swing and she's asleep 15-minutes later.

We were feeling really good about having really figured out her sleep patterns over the last few days (as much as a pattern can be discerned at this time).

Wife texts me later, "accidentally waited 60-minutes to put her down. Bad news."

Texted her an hour later and baby was still awake. Got home about 45 minutes ago and the kiddo still hadn't slept. Then of course I get the stress unloaded on me because I'm not a baby. Damn babies.

I feel you broh.

4real. I got to be at work at 9, kid 1 wakes up at 6 then wakes kid 2 up when she starts talking. my partner is -not- a morning person, so I'm up as soon as they are.


sorry to hear the biz ain't working out how you wanted it to Jwar. I know you've been hella committed to the whole thing. try not to dig your head in the ground too much cause I know you're gonna get past this

Thanks man. Unfortunately for me the biggest issue is a loss of a lot of money. I went for a year and made almost nothing. It's not cool and I'm not blaming anyone, but it's time for me to move on. I hoping and praying I can get something back, but it may not happen. Big lesson being learned here though.

I'm leaning towards real estate now and have some properties already and am making about what I did when I work at Whole Foods (40 hours a week). So that's not a bad deal. I want some more though and I am planning on re-launching Acid Splash Designs to help pay for bills and such.

It just sucks. I've been so fucking depressed that at one point I was suicidal and I haven't thought that way in about 8 years. It's a scary way to feel and I'm glad I have such a good support system.

[popvulture]

Aw buddy I feel ya. I've had a fucking depressing week too, similar stuff. I started at a job that I'd convinced myself would somehow save my career woes. Turns out the place was a total shitshow that did work I believed in 0%, so it was actually a giant step backward from the last year that I'd previously considered pretty lame. Anyway, I quit—it was just too obvious that I'd be absolutely miserable there.

So it's back to my freelance ways, digging for work. I'll be ok but I feel like shit about it, can't help but feeling like a total failure. It's indeed a scary experience when you get that sad and everything just seems hopeless.

I too have a great support system though, and I consider ILF to be a huge part of that.

[Jwar]

It's funny because I also consider ILF part of my support system. I mean, I really do care about you guys. Otherwise I wouldn't want to drive 8-10 hours for a meet up! Wish I could meet everyone. Maybe some day.

I just get saddened because I've dabbled in a ton of different stuff and it seems like nothing ever pans out the way I planned. I'm 34 and will be 35 in July and I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. All I want is something stable that will feed my family without the assistance of my parents. Which I'm even more saddened by. Without them, I'd probably be living in an apartment with my family. My dad is wealthy and he has made it so that I can be somewhat successful even if I'm not trying but I'm always trying anyway. I don't want to be that guy who goes through life and doesn't work his ass off. It's important to me you know?

I've got a potential battle coming, so I need to prepare, but at the same time, I just am tired of fighting all the time. I would never hurt myself either. I just don't like the thought even popping in my head. So annoying as I thought I was mentally way beyond that.

[Lurker13]

Hang in there, people, the roller coaster will start going back up again eventually.

1) This sounds like a story problem from math class that I would never be able to solve.

2) Congratulations on giving your child autism, you science-believing dumdum

3) Hope you get some rest.
