10,101 | daddit | I have a 2yo a 1yo and a pregnant wife. My 2yo is an early riser and got up at 4:10 this morning. My 1yo is learning tantrums from my 2yo and my wife is understandably a bit sore/short most days. Send help Edit: also I don't drink anything with caffeine in it due to sleeping issues. |
10,102 | daddit | This is me, but on my commute home from work. 45 minutes of traffic and jamming to good music or listening to a book. Something just for myself before I get home and dive back into the chaos. |
10,103 | daddit | Better make that coffee Irish ️ |
10,104 | daddit | Been there dude. You can do it! |
10,105 | daddit | That face perfectly captures how I feel with a 2 year old and a pregnant wife. Absolute despair. |
10,106 | daddit | I'm right there with you OP, 10weeks to go... |
10,107 | daddit | Lol try 3 am for a 5 am military day shift! I'd roll up and sit on the bed for about 15 minutes. Before that my daughter would wake up at 5 am wanting to play so who was up on duty? Me! Some of the best times of my life. My daughter's 20 now so I started over in retirement. Older son's 26. Now my 5 year old wakes up around 7 with the dad, I'm hungry speech. And I'm overjoyed to get up and cook whatever he wants, then we go exercise together until lunchtime. I've had all the time in the world for about 10 years now, I love it! |
10,108 | daddit | Life is good, my alarm goes off at 530. Coffee machine is on by 531. Quick shower and service and im dressed by 6. Coffee numero uno is in by 605 followed by breakfast. Im out the door by 630 with coffee number 2 and before my wife, 14 yr old, 8 yr old or 3 yr old are awake. The escape work provides is real gentlemen. |
10,109 | daddit | Showed my pregnant wife this. She was NOT amused. |
10,110 | daddit | \*sigh\* Yup. I've got a 7 year old, a 3 year old, a pregnant wife, I work night shifts 6 days / week. I **love** taking care of the kids and playing with the kids and everything with the kids... but *nothing* is getting done around the house. I also do the dishes, clean up, cooking... ... and then it seems like every day the pregnant wife says "ya know what I have a craving for..." and I find myself randomly going out at 8pm at night to Meijer for chipwiches. As a dad, I'm the one "normal" person in the house who then holds down the base and does **everything.** |
10,111 | daddit | Not even being pedantic, sometimes going over the top seems preferable. |
10,112 | daddit | don't forget you have 20-some years of some kid thinking they know more than you about everything to look forward to |
10,113 | daddit | My son will be 2 in august, we are going for baby 2 just to be done with it..... This is how I feel already on the weekends lol. |
10,114 | daddit | Feel the same way. My son turns 2 in May and his little brother is due within a few days of his birthday. It's going to be a wild and crazy ride the next few years. |
10,115 | daddit | Y’all even get to drink your coffee? |
10,116 | daddit | Just joining this situation, found out today, looking forward to the chaos |
10,117 | daddit | Well, you made that happen so it’s fair Bruh. Always do what Love requires. |
10,118 | daddit | This hits hard. Real hard. |
10,119 | daddit | “the terrible twos” can be pretty gnarly. If you ever need tips with getting through to your toddler check out my site. Wishing you luck and resilience! https://toddlerhoodcoaching.wordpress.com |
10,120 | daddit | Grass is always greener my friend. Take from a Dad who was literally in the same boat until a month ago and am now engaged in a custody battle. Goodbye reasons for getting out of the bed in the morning. You are richer than you think. Great meme nonetheless |
10,121 | daddit | You wifed somebody recently? |
10,122 | daddit | Whistle blows... over the top boys... |
10,123 | daddit | You have time to prepare? Must be nice |
10,124 | daddit | Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me? (I'm in them with you) |
10,125 | daddit | Uhhh, who is gonna tell him? |
10,126 | daddit | wait till you have a second one |
10,127 | daddit | Fucked around and found out lol |
10,128 | daddit | I did a job for 11 hours today, I kinda missed everyone today |
10,129 | daddit | [removed] |
10,130 | daddit | Right on my brother in arms ! |
10,131 | daddit | Just wait until number 2 arrives lol that’s when it gets insanely hectic |
10,132 | daddit | You got this, king. Keep your head on a swivel and a rag handy. |
10,133 | daddit | I've been there. At the time it was hard as I'd spend as much time out with the toddler to give pregnant wife a break. I cherish those memories of spending 1 on 1 time with the toddler as its harder to have that with another one now. Enjoy those moments now my dude! |
10,134 | daddit | Same. I wake around 3-4 am just to get some time to myself before hell breaks loose! |
10,135 | daddit | We’ll i got called in to work so I’d rather be at home. Grass is always greener. |
10,136 | daddit | Fuck man. I was up super late getting my son converted to a big boy bed. Got him to sleep in it all by myself. Then got like 5 hours of sleep and he woke me up. I get up and get him breakfast while pregnant wife sleeps in. He throws his coco puffs (that he ASKED FOR , mind you) all over the floor. Lots of time out, tears, and help cleaning up. Now I need something stronger than coffee. Luckily, my daughter is 8, so she helps a bit. |
10,137 | daddit | RIP |
10,138 | daddit | Lol I’m doing this right now |
10,139 | daddit | Gets even better with your toddler and second child.. both under 2 (years) |
10,140 | daddit | Same ship. Cheers my friend! One day at a time. |
10,141 | daddit | Currently living this. Best of luck kind sir |
10,142 | daddit | Hang in there dads, my kids are 7&9 now and I cannot wait for weekends to spend more time with my favorite humans. |
10,143 | daddit | Just wait til the baby gets here. Godspeed soldier |
10,144 | daddit | Same same bro. Wife just hit 33 weeks with the second. I can hear our one year old fussing at the bedroom door right now for being closed, as i am in our master bathroom for another round of morning “paperwork” for just a moment. |
10,145 | daddit | So glad I found this thread. So comforting to realise other people feel like I do. Need to give coffee hour a go. I find getting up early and going to the gym a couple of times a week really helps. |
10,146 | daddit | Wife recovering from surgery, three kids, MIL staying with us to help. This is me. |
10,147 | daddit | I will include you in my prayers while I'm taking care of my newborn. |
10,148 | daddit | How old is your toddler? I've got a 3.5yo, wife who is 6 months pregnant. Had a blast today - went to the city, walked around (15K steps), little one fell asleep, went to the pub, had a meal (and I had two beers) - epic day. Trying to make the most out of weekends before baby arrives :D |
10,149 | daddit | The war will be over by Christmas. |
10,150 | daddit | Wait till that 2nd one pops out 🫡 God Speed |
10,151 | daddit | I feel you. Have been on Dad duty for the last two days while wife has worked and done some fun stuff with her mom. Today she's sick upstairs trying to sleep it off. Y'all have inspired me to have my 2nd cup of coffee while my 7-month-old and I go to the Animal Fair. |
10,152 | daddit | My Old Dad experience says to spread the timing of kids out a little more to reduce the stress. Of course, if you spread them too far then you get the interesting dynamic of having a college student down to a kindergartner. Switching gears between helping figure out financial aid then helping picking out the perfect crayon color can be just as exhausting as chasing around two little ones. |
10,153 | daddit | Hold strong brother. Soon your wife will be back to normal and you’ll be chasing two toddlers around. |
10,154 | daddit | Sir, I’m detecting sass, should we prepare the foot? |
10,155 | daddit | Fuck man, I miss having morning coffee to myself. Toddler turned three in January. Used to sleep 8pm to 9am, now she’s up at 6:50 every morning, 6 minutes after my alarm. “I no can sleep, it’s morning time, remember?” Feel bad for my SAHM wife, as the kid wakes her up daily now while i get ready for work, but I also let her sleep in on the weekends while I’m still up before 7. |
10,156 | daddit | Hiding on the toilet for the break rn |
10,157 | daddit | You got this |
10,158 | daddit | Try to take a mental memory snapshot from time to time. Just sit and stare at a scene in your day and take it in. Doesn't make the day easier, but it tends to solidify a good memory. I'm proud of you dad. It's not easy dude... |
10,159 | daddit | Lol wait til there are two. |
10,160 | daddit | Brother I feel you. My wife is 39 weeks pregnant and my toddler is turning 3 next week... Good times |
10,161 | daddit | I miss parts of these days. My wife was so uncomfortable that the best thing I could do was take the toddler out for the morning. Go get a donut for her, fancy coffee for me, head to the park for a couple of hours. There was always a ton of shit to do when we got back to the house too, but I miss those daddy/daughter park trips. |
10,162 | daddit | Kids, eh, wonderful. |
10,163 | daddit | 3 and 1 here reporting for duty. Wife and I stayed up until 3 last night. Pray for us. |
10,164 | daddit | Don't worry, they'll all move out eventually! |
10,165 | daddit | lol - just wait till you have 2 ! |
10,166 | daddit | We praying for you homie. |
10,167 | daddit | Just wait until the new baby comes! |
10,168 | daddit | This is me prepping for my 5 year old every morning. And every evening trying to wind down so I can go to sleep and do it again tomorrow. |
10,169 | daddit | My God it's like a live look in in me having coffee at work this morning after a 24 waiting to be relieved. Right in the feels...God speed. |
10,170 | daddit | Me: *seeing this while drinking my coffee and my pregnant wife and toddler are upstairs performing some kind of excorsicm* "I feel you bro" |
10,171 | daddit | Oh boy. Watched this movie yesterday, and my first child is due in August. Hope it’s not THAT bad |
10,172 | daddit | Pregnant wife here, due any minute. This made me smile...and feel bad for my poor husband. Relaxing right now, while he is playing with our 2 Year old. Its gona be tough with a newborn and a toddler. |
10,173 | daddit | Good Lucky soldier |
10,174 | daddit | Now that the weather is nicer, outdoor time. It gets me out of the house and off the couch and keeps the little one busy. Fresh air and exercise for all. It’s almost 1 pm and I only had a crying toddler once this morning. |
10,175 | daddit | Checking in here with twin 1.5 year olds. It's now almost 1pm and I just ate breakfast, thanks for the coffee reminder! |
10,176 | daddit | I feel this in my soul |
10,177 | daddit | I feel this in my soul...that said, as of yesterday it will be, preparing myself for the day with my wife, toddler, and newborn. |
10,178 | daddit | I’m in this with you! |
10,179 | daddit | Are you me? |
10,180 | daddit | Once more into the breech! |
10,181 | daddit | I have never more related to a post. It has been an absolutely brutal last couple of months and still have 2 more to go. Can't tell if she actually hates me or it's the pregnancy. Fun times |
10,182 | daddit | Camus would say you made the right choice |
10,183 | daddit | Feeling this. Newborn baby and wife with big baby blues |
10,184 | daddit | number two will be the next level!! try to keep small things in life to get relief.. |
10,185 | daddit | Ay lad. |
10,186 | daddit | It does last forever, those toddlers will one day be there to support you through the menapause years brother. |
10,187 | daddit | Daylight savings time kicked in last night so the boy waking up. 5:15 became 4:15. |
10,188 | daddit | Me today when the 2.5 year old woke me up at 430 am and I stopped the 5 year old from being woken up and my wife is working night shift ... |
10,189 | daddit | Perfect |
