  • I scheduled two weeks off for the birth of my first child. Not paternity leave, just vacation time. My wife became a SAHM a few months before. I was bored and went back to work after 1 week. I couldn’t imagine 12 weeks.

    The kid is just not doing that much. Feed, poop, change, sleep. And the child doesn’t recognize you at that stage. It’s all stimulus response. If he was crying and I picked him up, he didn’t care. I got zero emotional reward for the interaction with the child. Emotional bonding all happened around 3 months old and beyond. Before that the benefit was more in the shared experience with my wife of learning how to take care of a newborn. But really, it’s not that hard, and after one week it was old hat.



  • No, it’ll be worse. Trump will use this as a way to remove all sanctions from Russia. He will basically try to reinstate Putin as part of the world economy. After this war of aggression, after all this destruction and death, Trump wants to brush Putin off and put a Halo on it.

    Fuck that orange shit stain.
