Exciting, congrats! My wife took a leap of faith and started her own online business three years ago…I help her out with some of the work now but initially she was putting in crazy hours to get it off the ground, so to support her in that I was the one to stay home and manage the house and kids. Can be a bit of a struggle mentally sometimes as a man in that role because it’s not really how we’re wired…but I’m grateful for the time I’ve been able to spend with them as youngsters. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.
That's awesome. My daughter's mom and I got divorced when she was 2. She doesn't even recall us together lol. Anyways, I had her 2 days/nights per week religiously. Learned how to use "absence makes the heart grow fonder" as a good thing and make me a better dad. I never missed an event, even though I live 45 minutes away. It was special because it was just the two of us for two days a week bonding and she knew I was always coming to get her.
Haha yeah what is this? Oh yeah, “Around the NHL…” Oilers suck
May his memory be a blessing.
Bingo. And we wonder why we are having the problems we have with our youth. The most precious possession we can have are our children, then we let someone else raise them for the first six years of their life. Boggles my mind.
Don't have kids. Look, if you can't afford to have kids, don't have any. If you can't afford a Porsche you don't buy one, or even look at one. Take responsibility and stop pointing fingers. All you are doing is hurting your family,
Great post.
Wow. That's short sighted and actually offensive. Having a kid and having a family shouldn't be a luxury item. It's pretty easy to make a statement like that when it's a dilemma you did not have simply because of when you were born.
This is a reality and it always makes me happy when older people acknowledge it and don’t point fingers. Things are not the same as they once were. The things you pointed out are a factor and then add in the lie from the feminists that was sold to women…”You can be a CEO boss lady AND a great wife and mom at same time! Why can’t you have it all girl?!” The fact is that you just can’t…and no one should be expected to carry all that weight in the first place.
For high level that definitely doesn't shock me. Even for rec hockey $1000 a season is a ridiculous price.
If you and I can do it, most anyone can. It comes down to priorities. God gives you the best gift we as humans can receive and we say we can't afford them, so send them off to daycare. It takes sacrifice's when one has children. If you don't or can't do that, don't have kids. Why should they suffer because you wanted to go out to dinner, or buy that second brand new Lexus, RV, boat etc.
I went over to his web site and he mentioned that some games were played yesterday. Just letting you all know! But I see some already have life figured out...
I'm more or less talking about a childs first six years. Once in school it's totally different.Add private schools to the list.
I attended one in eighth grade (in Ojai, CA). But not that my dad wanted to get rid of me. There were issues between he and my stepmother at the time and he didn’t want me exposed to it. I don’t think he realized that I was already well prepared to put up with it, because I could have (and wanted) to stick through it.
But…. at the same time the experience was okay. Went to a school that was loaded with kids from well known families or business. Robert Carradine was one, another was the nephew of Barry Goldwater. One was a stuck up prick and the other I played golf with.
Anyway…. Talking with some of the other kids at the school the story was the same. Parents sent them there while they ran off to Europe or some other jet set location. Then there were the ones who were there because no other school could handle them.
The school itself was a good one. Small class sizes and the teachers were great. I never regretted being there, but I didn’t miss it either.
Was at the game, in Newark to go to the season opener figured why not. Barely noticed Fischer, wings rolled 3 lines most of the night. Hughes looked unreal, going to be a rough first assignment for our D tomorrow.
Yeah, I couldn’t watch cause… streaming
I was so wrong about him at the draft, kids a monster. The Devils are very fun to watch too, I hope they dominate the east.
