I have a kid’s birthday party to attend. That’s about it.

My two kids are here. So I guess I don’t have full brain shutdown. But, I’m not working. So I’ll take it.

I live near the beach too, actually. This vacation is only about 5 hours away from where I live. But, without work I have some time to enjoy the sand and a drink in my hand.

Happy cake day! Didn’t even realize I missed mine by two days. Oops!

Time flies when you’re having fun.

I have been counting down the days to my weeklong vacation. And we’ve almost arrived! Tomorrow is my last day of work before taking a very much needed break.

You may have seen me talk about my upcoming vacation here and there. All I can say is that vacation is now two weeks away, and I desperately need it.

I’ve been a little under the weather the past couple days. Today will be a work from home day as I try to just push through to a 3-day weekend.

That accurately describes me. I have two kids. My older one will be 3 at the end of the month.

Great! I’m not much of a poet, but I can imagine it’s a great creative outlet.

I also feel that my brain has been uncooperative as of late. But I blame that mostly on lack of sleep, stress, and burnout.

For sure. Responding is the natural thing to do. But, for me at least, I end up reading every response and deciding if I’m safe to just remove the first reported comment, or every child comment, or a mix.

Maybe some mods just delete the parent comment and all children to keep it simple, but I try to weigh each response fairly.

You’re probably better off not interacting with the content that you’re reporting.

I’ll second this. Responding to the problematic content usually just leads to a lot more problematic content that the mods need to sort through.

Yeah, I think I even suggested that awhile back on one of those communities. It might be worth me reaching out to each of the mods to try and coordinate that.

Congrats! There’s a bunch of dad-based communities on Lemmy. None are as active as this community, unfortunately, but definitely join some of them and reach out if you need any advice from other dads!

It’s been a busy week. 6 weeks until my vacation, and I’m counting down the days.

Really enjoyed this! Looking forward to the AMA!

“You think you defeated me? You think I did not know what I bought for my Wanna?”

I have a kid’s birthday party to attend. Beyond that, I’m hoping to find a little time to tidy up the house and relax a bit.

I’ve been a dog person my whole life. I always felt that cats were pets that stayed hidden, and only proved their existence through poop you had to clean from a bucket.

However, living with two high-energy dogs while also raising two young kids has made me see that perhaps cats aren’t so bad. I’m currently undecided on my loyalties.

Disclaimer: I would never get rid of my dogs, and, at the end of the day, I love them. Just saying I now see the appeal of cats.
