Dads suck butt

[neonblack]

Realized last night I could be sucking slightly less butt as a dad. It's hard to get motivated to get out of bed and make the hour round trip to see him sometimes.

Which is fucking stupid because that's the whole reason I'm here

Depression, y'all!

Parenting on depression feels like constantly trying to patch a dam wall thats about to break and all you have is band aids.
The energy required to be the dad you want to be seems like it will never be attainable in your life time.
Its mostly because the standards you hold yourself to are brutal.
Dont buy into that bullshit you see other parents doing and you think is fucking perfect. Everyones situation is different and sooner or later, you either find them doing some abhorrent, dick thing to their kid, or that their kid is an abhorrent dick.
Either way, do your best and set a bottom floor, like, "at least my kids wore shoes today, and nobody put cigarettes out on them."
Start with a low bar for warm ups, pat yourself on the back and move onto the harder ahit before they can throw it at you.

Im off to attempt to teach a four year old girl to write her name.
This will involve pulling her away from the TV.
Fuck help me.

Having this discussion with my wife about people and their kids on the internet. Which isn't a knock to all y'all that do it -- but it just got me wondering how many of us can fall in to the trap Pope was talking about; every filter and angle perfectly cultivated as if the time spent creating that Instagram pic makes up for everything else.

Just get out there and see that kiddo, neon.

Pope you always have good life lessons.

Depression is a whore.
I want drugs for my broken head but don't wanna talk to a doctor. The worst part is that no traumatic thing even caused my sadbrains. So I just feel stupid.

Too bad silk road died.

Two days ago i talked to my girlfriend and said: "I'm just happy now. It seems like stuff is working out and I can focus on stuff I like. I'm a better musician, boyfriend and employee because I'm not constantly stressed about the future"

It seems like I jinxed my fucking life with that comment.

Yeah, only in the past couple weeks have I really posted a photo. Consent, &c. Feel weird about it...not sure I get Instagram and other forms of new media. Really, I suppose it's the fear of missing out on other avenues to hang out with people, which reminds me of why I never liked being part of communities in the first place. Hmmmm

yeah but you're not cultivating this perfect dad lifestyle. it's basically just, 'here's my weirdo kids doing weirdo shit with weirdo pedlols.'

[Invisible Man]

Wait are you insinuating that I'm not a perfect dad?

[Iommic Pope]

I gotta be honest, I think iman has nailed it for dadding.

Fuck posting on mobile.
Apologies for the typos everywhere, all.

ah that moment on Friday when you're absolutely crushed by your job and you go home and continue to be crushed by your job when your boss texts you to tell you you're gonna have to come in and lay off three people on Monday and then take on their work in addition to the four workloads you already have and oh right you're six months behind on paperwork because you have four jobs and then you can't leave because the place is a fucking blight on your resume and no one with an ounce of self-respect will hire you ahhhh Friday

My girlfriend of four years broke up with me after a very rough couple of weeks. I'm staying at my mothers house until our lease is up and I just can't handle the change. I've never felt so sad and alone. I haven't eaten since Monday and I feel like shit. I'm drunk again and had to rant.

nah man.

perfect dad, 10/10.
