>>8127690I make good money and I spend a TON of time with my kids. It's almost 9:30, and my kids' bedtime is 9:00 on the weekends (yes, I'm still making them stick to a schedule during quarantine), so why would I get off the internet to go to bed 30 minutes after them, to end up waking up at 6am, when they get up at 8:30am.
I cook them breakfast every morning, I've been homeschooling them every day during quarantine (I used to be a teacher before I changed professions to make more money to make sure they were well taken care of), I spend time with them outdoors, I play games with them constantly, I nurture their interests (my oldest loves science, so I do a lot of STEM activities with her, the youngest is very creative and artsy, so I encourage crafts and literature).
Yes, I know I'm taking the bait, but since quarantine I like talking to adults more and more since I'm literally stuck with my kids all day long (wife doesn't interact with them much).
You must not have kids. I don't regret them, but I do regret the choices I made when I was younger. My marriage sucks, and they're the only good things to come out of this situation. It's a shitty catch 22 because sometimes I wish I never met my wife, but then that would mean I would never have my kids (who are literally the only 2 people in the world I love), so it's a cycle of "I wish I didn't do this, but if I didn't do this, I wouldn't know real love, but then I'd never know that I wouldn't know real love, etc.".
I'll stop blogging, but just out of curiosity, what makes you think I'm a shitty dad? Is it the fact that I have a shitty relationship with my wife and wish I hadn't married her?
