Yep. If you give them an option then at some point they'll take it.
Hoping it doesn't take 6 months for her to start sleeping more at night! I never drank coffee until she was born, now I don't think I could survive without it.
Fixed...
Will get better soon bro....lack of sleep is hard...I was a complete wreck the first couple of weeks.
It's the estrogen talking....lol....
Time for some trt for the shih tzu
Awesome subbed to this thread. We just had our daughter five weeks ago. Whole new world. I love it.
It's something you have to sacrifice here and there. Just make sure the wife is happy and she gets her time, because that'll mean you'll get your time. When we lived in an apartment, I just let mini-me sleep in his carseat/carrier thing in the apartments tiny gym by ourselves while I got a quick 20 minute pump on.
Congrats man! Ours will be five weeks Tuesday. Its definitely harder at first to lift regularly, specially when only gating a few hours of sleep and working. I've been going in the mornings a few times before work, and definitely on weekends when we have more time
I laughed so hard!!!
Right now, my workouts are only 15-30 minutes long. I rotate chest/back, shoulders/arms, legs. One exercise each for 3-5 sets depending on time rostering from one to the other. The last set is always an all-out effort. I get in the gym at 5am at the latest and am out by 530am at the latest. I rotate the days and hit the gym 2-5 days a week depending on the week.
Very much this. It is a time sacrifice and it isn't about you anymore. Make sure your wife/gf knows how important it is to you and to set a good example to your lady and kid. Also, make sure she gets her time too. As a plus, your kid(s) stand a much better chance of leading a healthier lifestyle if they see daddy taking care of his. My wife and I are very active and our kids don't know anything else. It's awesome.
This. I told my wife that I could be asking to go out boozing with friends, or be gone hours at a time doing whatever, but all I want is to just workout and I'll be happy. I make sure to annoy the crap out of her "want to go get your pedicure and walk around the mall, massage, chick flick?" "no? ok well I'm goin to the gym then"
Fir sure, when we're both home she has no problem with me going. I in turn give her some time to go to the mall or just get out for a bit
Give and take.....my wife lets me do my thing, but she does complain a lot...I try to give her some space.....freakin hormones...she doesn't no what to do sometimes.
It took my wife close to a year. There were times when nothing I did was right lol Sucked assGive and take.....my wife lets me do my thing, but she does complain a lot...I try to give her some space.....freakin hormones...she doesn't no what to do sometimes. Friend told me it can take more than a year for her old self to come back

You guys talking about after giving birth? Cuz if so, I'm still there. After over eight months though the tide is starting to turn. Her hormones not only effect her attitude, but have serious impact on her weight too. Even with breast feeding she's had a hell of a time losing any weight post partum. That's even finally changing though too. She's dropped five pounds in the last two weeks and her appetite is returning to normal. Not only that, but the sex drive is revving up again! Yeah buddy!!!
^this.....very cool stuff
Transition? I call it relief lol
Yea, I went back to work right away so I'm used to leaving. Our lady will do the same thing for us with the date nights which is awesome. My Mother in law actually came up on Saturday to watch her so we could go to dinner. It was very relaxing! And I won the bet that my wife would text her mom while we were out checking in. Lol, only took her 45 minutes.
With our first, we went the in home route for the first 2 years as well. The hardest part we had was finding a really good one that we trusted. We interviewed about 20 of them and it is incredible to me the conditions people will leave their kids in for another person to watch over. If you get a good one, it is a great way to start because the extra attention and small enrollment is more comforting (to us at least). We transitioned in by planning our work schedules to allow her to go for a couple of hours and then over the course of the week, added an extra hour each day. We only have ever done daycare part time, thankfully, but that is how we did it.
Both of my kids are in daycare, we started with the home daycare first thinking it was better.. We were wrong, when it's at a persons home there is no one looking over them and they are not following state guidelines. At daycare they are spot checked by the state and they keep all the kids in line with behavior issues and vaccinations.. We caught the home daycare women out blowing leaves with the kids in the house by themselves!!! Never again..at daycare I can see my kids on camera at work
