my life was gone. Movies, sleeping, long showers—all gone. We became slaves to this tiny new thing living in our home..

What a self-absorbed POS. That poor kid is starting out in life with one strike against him.

Let’s see...I don’t get to see R-rated movies anymore and I can’t take long showers. In return I get to see my son’s and daughter’s eyes light up whenever I come from work. I’ll take it.

Sleeping is overrated.

Wait until this d-bag’s kids start playing sports or doing dance or scouts or piano or whatever. I haven’t had a Saturday “off” in 7 months and I couldn’t be happier.

Fehh, you still get to go to movies after fatherhood - they are just 2 hour long toy commericals.

The thing is, none of those things go away after becoming a parent. You just adjust to a new schedule. Seems to me he wasn’t willing to assume the role of head of his house, and defaulted authority to his wife. Instead of working WITH her, he caved in.

Shoot, we’d get babysitters so we can still have a dinner & movie night once in a while. We take turns with the kids so the other one can have some ‘alone’ time. Divide and conquer, you know?
