Breaks my heart when my kids ask if I am done with calls for the day and if we can play. I’ve cut down on work just to make up for all the times I’ve said no to them.

Feel exactly the same way.

I hear you. My daughter asked me when I’m going to retire today. I told her “in 25 years” and she got sad. She’s under 5.

But wfh has helped. I block time to play with my kids in the morning and eat lunch with them. It works out 3-4 days a week. I also make a point to read to them each night with almost no exceptions. I’d rather work at 10pm if needed than miss that.

Spent the pandemic working on myself, got sober, focused on working out, left the music industry and started a career where I can make money and have a steady work schedule. Maybe this isn’t everyone’s version of “growing up” but that’s what this was for me. Now that I’m vaxed and seeing my friends, it’s clear we have little left in common, and honestly a lot of the things they do straight up embarrasses me. I don’t want to lose these long term friends. Has anyone else been in this situation?

I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)
