Why would I want to be with someone who has been with hundreds of women? I would be afraid that he wouldn’t even remember my name afterwards. If you’re going to fuck a star, make it a hard star to fuck, and make it memorable for everyone involved. Have some fucking pride in your work.

I never said you can’t get ANYTHING done in the mornings, with kids. We still manage to shower and get dressed and drink coffee, which takes more than five minutes of time. I don’t think anyone reasonable would say that taking five minutes out of your morning for prayer is completely undoable with kids. Same thing…

I’m not sure what your point is?

My beef is not with people who choose to get up before their kids and exercise or whatever. My beef is with this idea that “high achieving” people are just better at managing their time than the rest of us plebes, and if we all just got off our asses, we too could invent Google and be bazillionares.

Good point, I have never actually tried any of that, so maybe it is the secret to success after all?!

Maybe I don’t understand something culturally, but saying a prayer to me doesn’t seem like that much of a time commitment.

My six-year-old is completely unpredictable on weekdays, sometimes she pops up and sometimes she fights.  But on weekends?  Up AS EARLY AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE and at our bedside, asking for things.  ARGH.

They usually just drink their coffee and stare at me.  It’s spooky.

Good fucking point.  

It’s all about the schedule. I work different hours than my partner too, (who isn’t “supportive” as much as doing his fucking job as the father of his kids) and I wouldn’t sleep if I tried to get up that early.  I do most of the evening work with the kids and he does morning drop-off, but it’s still hard as fuck.  I…

No, but it’s a good idea! I don’t mind so much, really, I’m used to it and I love my kids (as does my partner, who pulls his weight and more).  Hectic is just life right now, maybe in twenty years I’ll have time for morning yoga or whatthefuckever.

Don’t feed the troll.

I’m glad this works for you for now. I also had a pretty easy morning routine before my older kid turned two. Then it all went to shit. It eased up a bit when she turned four, and then I had another kid and it’s gone to shit again.   Good luck!

These people, if they have children, have nannies to get their kids ready. For those of us with little kids and no nannies, the “morning routine” is either taken up with begging a child to get out of bed or being woken up before dawn by a child you want to sleep in for fucking once.  Then it’s lots of crying and…

Two books by men?  Honestly?

Yeah, like I’ve said many times in this thread, babies are different, I’d never had it happen with a toddler, but on the other hand, lots of people clearly have so I seem to be wrong.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that there aren’t legitimate problems with issues like homeschooling and isolating your kids (or neglecting them).  I would never advocate something as silly as “All moms are right,” because many moms are awful at being moms and actively hurt their kids.  But there is this idea that…

Yes, with babies I have had this happen.  

Because it should have been addressed fucking ages ago.  We 100% know what happened between the two of them and it was an abuse of power and if we don’t address the elephant in the room, they will use it to attack us again and again and again, like they already have been doing.

My son tried to nurse on my husband’s shoulder once, when he was tiny.
