What’s funny, is the part of me that was worried before kids that I was gonna miss going out to bars, partying with friends, and being able to just travel without a ton of pressure and the like — I just don’t miss those things anymore. It’s not that I don’t get to do them, it’s that I don’t really want to as much anymore. And we still go out all the time, travel all the time (it’s more work of course), and get to do tons of new things, and it’s all way more fun because there this little kid with you who is seeing it all for the first time and he’s fucking STOKED! 🤣
You ever have that feeling where you make a new friend and find out they haven’t seen your favorite movie? Remember how much fun that is to watch? Having a kid is like that, but basically every day. Everything is more difficult and frustrating at times, but also way more fun and it all means a lot more, imo.
