Thank you for this. 🙏🏻

I don't even have children, but the parents I keep coming across on Nostr inspire me to be a better man and move me with their love and dedication every single day.

Parents on Nostr have become one of my favorite sources of warrior energy. Please, more of this!

We ran an opportunity cost when we had our second. For his to be in daycare & my wife to work as a substitute teacher we would be ~200 ahead each month.

Our choice was for my wife to quit be a full time mom and figure out how to save/earn that extra cash. I had 2 working parents growing up they loved me but i spent way to much time away from them.

You can choose your friends, but you build yer family. My wife has been integral to doing this. Biggest choice of my life. As for the kids, theres no “good time” for them

What publication is this?

I will find out, but it is filed under stuff my wife sends me confirming we are moving forward in a good direction

Nice

Plan for happiness for young dudes:

1. Take care of your body (don’t over drink, get sleep, walk and lift and eat well)

2. Get the best job you can that teaches you skills for your future. Don’t worry about pay, worry about what you can learn. Bring value. Always!

3. Meet a good woman. Plan to put a ring on her finger and a baby in her belly.

4. Spend the rest of your life serving her.

5. All the while, stack Bitcoin with whatever excess you have.

agree, but "spend your life serving her" could be misleading to young men caught in the current hyper-feminized culture

"build a framework of security and order so that she can thrive" is a more direct way to word it - don't cater to her whims, build a solid frame of order that will make her feel secure and allow her to be soft

That second to last one has brought some fun times. Memorable ones are the shreds from the paper shredder all over the entryway as snow and a box of baking soda, jug of vinegar, and fire ant beds getting volcanoed 😂. Sometimes saying yes brings tons of joy.

Also, Cheese and I were discussing with Jr how Jr has spent more time with Cheesedad as a kid than Cheese spent with him before he moved out of the house. Breaking the cycle is what we're trying to do, being present in the kid's life so we don't have regrets later. 💜🫂

I have the hardest time saying yes, but i am getting better, growing up i had a rather restrictive life due to my parents anxious thoughts.

It's hard for sure, but the joy that is had is worth the mess.

Why not? Let’s paint the walls!

Something like 85% of all the time you get to spend with an offspring is <12. Think about your own life. You get friends, you go off to make on your own. How much time do you really spend with your parents each year?
