The deaths and injuries from people being crushed by overcrowding at Travis Scott's festival in Houston last night is so awful, saw tons of videos and images of kids getting cpr, staff not caring and nothing being done to stop a situation where more people could have gotten the help they needed.

8 confirmed deaths and 300 or so injured. Just awful, ugh.

My wife and I aren’t having kids, for multiple reasons.

My wife and I aren’t having kids, for multiple reasons.

I have a few friends that are definitely not planning to have kids, and a few that sadly may age out of being able to soon.

My wife and I are aiming for 2 or 3, but we'll see how the first one goes before we make a solid decision on that.

How underrated is Townshend? I realize the keyboards in the clip are a recording but assuming the rest is live that may be one of the best performances of any rock song captured on film or video.

Yo will never “be prepared” enough . It seems like hell looking at it from the outside but it’s not as bad as it seems. That and the good faaaaarrrrrrr outweighs the bad.

I had to book some last second travel for work. Trying to fly out of my local airport because it's so damn convenient for me. The trade off is there are never direct flights anywhere. Anyway, I'm going to Arkansas and saw one flight from ABE to DTW to LGA to XNA.

So that is Pennsylvania to Michigan to New York to Arkansas Why would you even present that option?

I'm glad it worked out for you but have met and still associate with too many people for which it has been a nightmare for a variety of reasons.

I've always said after meeting great kids that if you could sign me up for that I'd stop pulling out tomorrow. Until designer babies are a thing I doubt it's in the cards for me.

Adoption however is something I can wrap my head around at some stage.

you can have a great life without kids. In my case, my kids are the only thing (being) I would die for* which tells you sth about what they mean to me. Despite the challenges that may come with parenting.


*so what about my wife, parents, sister, friends etc…think hard think hard… probably not…but my kids no doubt! Interesting question actually who you would give your life for, who not and why. Grab a glass of red wine though to accompany those thoughts

look, just because you met my in-laws at some point and they told you about my wife’s sister is no reason to give up on humanity.

That's what I'm hoping for. I've been told by a friend that having a kid is "not much fun, but a lot of joy" and I hope that's accurate.

We have a 4 year old boy and a 2 year old girl.

Mate, it is the hardest most beautiful thing you will ever do. Cherish the early days because they go so fast.

Me and the wife are absolutely shattered every day, but it is so worth it.

It tends to get easier over time. Maybe you just learn to deal with it. We have more or less rolled one out into the world and he still wants to talk to us so I think we’ve done ok. At some point you learn what’s important to your kids and what you have to do to get them from point A to point B. Just be willing to communicate with them about things that they aren’t happy about. If your answer to their question of “why?” is to say “because I am the parent” that isn’t good enough. Explain the decision. Explain what the reasonable and unreasonable choices are why yours makes sense. No shortcuts when it comes to speaking with them or spending g time with to them on what they like and everything ends with support and a reminder you have their back.

It's our intention to try and explain the reasoning behind our decisions, and avoid lying to him. But I'm fully aware that we might end up doing so anyway just out of frustration or a lack of time. If he's anywhere near as curious as I was as a kid, he'll keep asking why long after I have run out of answers.

Oh New Jersey, I love thee

Eh probably not for here.
