How was your week?
How was your week?
Before: “I know! I’ll tire the little guy out and getting him into bed later will be a breeze”
Later: “I know! I’ll leave him to it, and hobble off for a nap…”
Yep.
About “a month ago” my daughter was toddling around. “Last week” she was at college “Yesterday” she moved into her own place with her boyfriend.
I rarely see my daughter now that she has her own fulltime life.
If I can be future-you to anyone here, make the absolute most of your kids’ time. It really REALLY flies by.

I’ve felt this with other peoples kids even. My colleague had a precocious teenager, and by the time I’d gone done another job, and come back, that kid was working at microsoft.
In my other job, a fresh new colleague had a 5 year old kid. When I left that job, that kid was applying for university.
What the actual fuck.
