I’m only 26, but I can tell you one thing: there’s never enough energy no matter the age.

Right. Hahaha. I became a dad at 30 and it was such a challenge until now.

Reducing alcohol, sugar and having more protein and men’s supplements helps to have more energy, it’s physically daunting

I’m in my late 30s and my youngest is a toddler.

I feel more energetic as a parent now than I did when I became a dad at 29. I’m also highly caffeinated.

There’s biological age and there’s physical age. I’m committed to not slowing down.

Pick your moments to be active. You’ll never be able to fully keep up but if you can give them a few “moments” they’ll appreciate it. Also, don’t overeat, etc., but that is obvious

For me I’d say first 6 weeks, then around 6 months when teething and fussing begins and also around the time I can’t use my kid as an excuse for not getting work done or spending quality time with my wife

Don’t let the job own you. Make it a regular job then stay fit to be able to be at full speed regardless. One thing I did was make my life easier for working out and bought a Tonal. Stupid expensive but worth every penny to keep me in good shape.

Stay fir and healthy. Reduce alcoholic and smoking habits or even cut it. You are gonna need all the energy in the world to see and guide your kids growing up.

I'm only 27 and I don't have enough energy. Cutting back at work and giving more time to my family seems to help though.

Anyone here adopt a puppy during the infertility struggle? Husband and I considering it to have something positive throughout this situation and thinking the extra companionship would be helpful. I work from home. Husband has had many family dogs and lots of experience with it, I’ve had a family cat before. But not sure if it’s actually a good idea - wondering if it would truly help make us feel better and keep our minds off of the struggles or if it would just add extra stress. Thoughts?

How do i find out if I will be happier divorced or more unhappily staying married. 2 kids; 2 & 4 YO. They don’t hear the arguments after bed time and don’t understand the bruises yet but I know it’s just a matter of time. It would be so much harder not seeing my kids everyday than living with the pain, loneliness and lost friendships. But I’m tired. And so sad. Lost. So alone. Does anyone have something that turned it around? He changed? You changed so he did? Ayahuasca retreat maybe?

Hi Fishes,

Any info on how is claranet company in terms of WLB.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
