I've felt very conflicted and concerned about halo in this regard. I can tolerate the spamming, I can give him props for looking great, but the kid thing really confuses me. I don't know if he's a masterful troll or an utter piece of shit. And I hope it's not the latter.
Funny thing, because just last week was my last day of work. I normally work a full work day, cook for my family and students and spend every other moment with my daughter. She's the love of my life and I always knew being a father would be something I would enjoy. That's why I came off the juice, stopped fucking around for more than a year and withered down to the lowliest twink status so I could work overtime and save make tons of money so my daughter would have the best environment to thrive in once she was born.
I'm on paternity leave and loving every minute of it. The baby went to school with my wife this year, but she can't go with her during practicum so I worked overtime to save up and take the summer off. I stay up at night and feed her every couple hours when she wakes up. I get up early in the morning and play with her. I cook healthy meals for my wife and family, and even make homemade baby food while she sits on the counter and smiles and makes baby noises at me. This is what you do when you have a baby. You guys may laugh and call me a domesticated house husband, but I'm loving life and living for my offspring. Whether you wanted a baby or had a whoopsy-baby, it doesn't matter. You brought it into this world and you'll do everything in your power to nurture it and foster their development.
These early months and years are critical, and you might not appreciate or understand how much of an impact these years make. But they do, and you will look back and feel like a piece of shit for not taking them more serious. And if you don't, then you're already a piece of shit who may never have the moral integrity to feel shame and wrongdoing for neglecting your child. If my girl was in the hospital, I would know the names of every doctor, nurse and health care assistant on that floor and their shift pattern. I'd know every drug being administered, the doses and every bit of the disease or the condition. I'd be on my laptop or tablet reading all that I could about that particular ailment and wouldn't leave her side for a moment. But then again, that's just me. You're free to handle the situation however you see fit. I just hope that you are grounded in reality so you can make the proper decisions.
TLDR - Smarten up and take care of your fucking kid. You don't even work and have more than enough time to commit. I take care of 5 students, my own family and my ailing stepdad and have plenty of time in the day to workout, eat good and relax. There are people who do 20 times as much in a single day, so there are no excuses whatsoever.
