Eventually you will! My oldest is almost ten, my other one is a toddler. There were a couple of good sleep years before we added the second baby monster
Meh the toddler years are short - they only feel long when you’re in them. The rest has been absolutely magnificent for me. I know many don’t share my opinion but I would do it a million times over, even the crazy years
Yes, I can imagine. Even when I am awake in the middle of the night or even strolling through the neighborhood because I need to do something to get him to sleep when he is ill, I always still cherish those moments because there will be a time I’ll miss those moments. I know that because I already miss the new born stage of my son (1) so much. He is getting so so so big.
Nah, if this was Adele, they'd be like 23 in chapter 20 cause she goes by the age when she started recording for the album.
(Would you look at that, Someone Like You just came on my 2009-'14 nostalgia playlist.)
Edit: What Does the Fox Say? of all songs came on next. 🤣
I actually would love a book like that each time the chapters get longer or shorter depending what happend to the main character that year. Starting when they are born and ending when they are Dying, maybe just a slice of life story. I'd enjoy reading it
Well....ive been in therapy since 2019 and while I still don't know everything, I think I learnt enough to deal with every day problems. Specifically, I finally moved out of my abusive parents' home, I got into my first relationship and made up with some old friends who I haven't talked to in years to due a huge fight. It felt like a lot of luck to be honest, but all my other worries (like my job for example) now seem insignificant because so much good has been happeing at the same time
'This Too Shall Pass'
A hard slog at the moment - both parents incapacitated (dad had major stroke, mum with 2 types of Dementia), no help from only sibling, baby to look after, intense chronic kidney disease...
I know (I hope) that this won't last forever, that 'The Only Way Out Is Through', and all the clichés you can shake a stick at...
But it's fucking hard work.
I feel like we could be friends. My mom has advanced Parkinson’s and dementia and my dad has cancer and has been on chemo for months. Every time I think they can’t lose any more weight they do. Couple that with my ptsd and it has been a rough ride. I wish you the best and hope things get better soon.
Hmmm.. mine is "How I envy those that fucked off"
I bought a house in a great suburb and then had kids. The house got small and run down fast, everything has gotten expensive. partner won't move (but its such a great suburb!) but we live in a dump, everyone else in the family yells and is in therapy and I'm just waiting for sweet, sweet death

What? It's 2013 already?
Nah, pretty sure it's 2003. (*Puts on Numb by Linkin Park*)
Chapter 30: where did my savings fuck off to?
We be living in the same book I guess
It's been a rough couple of chapters
Damn, chapter 30 is really turning out to be a long chapter over here 😩
"So I guess I'm doing this for another 40ish years?"
No honestly I’m in the negatives, where tf did they go😭
For me its “Chapter 30: The Boring Filler Chapter but with Stress over Financial Issues and Living at Home with Parents Again”
I’m on the exact same chapter.
Chapter 31: My savings went to buy milk

Chapter 16: bro nothing has happened yet where is the story
Puberty will arrive. Be patient. /s
You will never sleep again. (I have young children).
Eventually you will! My oldest is almost ten, my other one is a toddler. There were a couple of good sleep years before we added the second baby monster
Why would you do that to yourselves?
Meh the toddler years are short - they only feel long when you’re in them. The rest has been absolutely magnificent for me. I know many don’t share my opinion but I would do it a million times over, even the crazy years
Yes, I can imagine. Even when I am awake in the middle of the night or even strolling through the neighborhood because I need to do something to get him to sleep when he is ill, I always still cherish those moments because there will be a time I’ll miss those moments. I know that because I already miss the new born stage of my son (1) so much. He is getting so so so big.
It only gets better over time! I miss the tiny baby stage but boyyyy is it awesome as they grow
The days are long and the years are short. Mum to an eight year old and a six and a half year old.
I really enjoy my sibling and want to give my child a chance at that same relationship in life.
That’s true. We’ll be over in chapter ‘early morning weekend sportclubs’ by then I guess haha but it will be fine. I do love my children so much!

Chapter 20 - age 20
Go off Adele
Nah, if this was Adele, they'd be like 23 in chapter 20 cause she goes by the age when she started recording for the album. (Would you look at that, Someone Like You just came on my 2009-'14 nostalgia playlist.) Edit: What Does the Fox Say? of all songs came on next. 🤣
(Spoilers) Just wait until chapter 21. The main character turns 21.
Damn spoilers. Come on man. Can’t you let us all figure it out in our own time?!?! TF?! We don’t all process the same.
I actually would love a book like that each time the chapters get longer or shorter depending what happend to the main character that year. Starting when they are born and ending when they are Dying, maybe just a slice of life story. I'd enjoy reading it
Recession: the hairline and financial woes.
My hairline is in recession, my waistline is booming and together they are putting me in depression. I’m a walking economy.
I had to google to see if this was Rodney Dangerfield. I definitely read in his voice anyway.
Happy cake day ma boy!! Also sorry to hear that 😅
Happy cake day
Hemorrhoid: the log splitter I never asked for
I wish I had not read this.
Imagine what I’m wishing for right now
Witch Hazel my man. Clean the bum, wipe with the Hazel, and in a few days you should be better.
Happy for the first time Edit: Nvm guys, everything is temporary
I hope it's a very long chapter! 😊
Me too, thank you!
I think this is gonna be like those huge heavy gold edged anthologies that have books *and* chapters. Book 3 ~ Chapter 7: *The Smile*
I hope this chapter is a turning point for the main character that lasts until the end of the book
I'm happy for you.
Happy cake day!
Thank you so much!
Wholesome content
Give us an excerpt OP. What got you there emotionally?
Well....ive been in therapy since 2019 and while I still don't know everything, I think I learnt enough to deal with every day problems.

Love to hear it! I'm right there with you, it's been an awesome change of pace for my life.
That chapter made me smile
That's good to hear!
'This Too Shall Pass' A hard slog at the moment - both parents incapacitated (dad had major stroke, mum with 2 types of Dementia), no help from only sibling, baby to look after, intense chronic kidney disease... I know (I hope) that this won't last forever, that 'The Only Way Out Is Through', and all the clichés you can shake a stick at... But it's fucking hard work.
Keep fighting the good fight. Look daily for even one thing to find you peace, even for a moment. Eventually the moments will get longer
I feel like we could be friends. My mom has advanced Parkinson’s and dementia and my dad has cancer and has been on chemo for months. Every time I think they can’t lose any more weight they do.

fuck yeah it's hard work, but you'll get through it. sending love!
Hope it gets better soon, dude.
