One week in and having trouble coming to terms with how much of an adjustment it has been going from one kid to two. My wife and I always swore we wouldn’t let having kids stop us from enjoying our favorite pastimes (like recreational sports, hiking, camping, etc) and tbh we’ve lived up to that pretty well since having our first. But the toddler plus a newborn is just a lot, I find myself wondering how people have more than 2 (or how single parents survive at all.) Tried going to a soccer game yesterday and it was so hard on my wife with me just being gone for 2 hours that I’ve opted out the rest of the season for my other soccer and volleyball teams. I know we’ll get into a flow state eventually and of course it’s all 100% worth it, but I really underestimated the adjustment for sure! (Obvious caveat that I love both my boys and wouldn’t change anything for the world. )

it's okay to adjust your priorities and take a break when needed. You'll find your new normal soon, how old is the first

Bro, when they’re both on their feet, it got even harder for us, though probably a little less sleep deprived. And eventually integrating them into recreational stuff can work, but they complain a lot and get over most things quickly. Big adjustments for us.

Once you start sleeping again you can have other hobbies! Don’t worry it happens!

Thanks for sharing. So true. Going 1 to 2 was the most insane transition. We have 4 now. Someone told me when we were expecting 2: one kid takes up half your time. Two kids take up all your time.

That happened to us 3 years ago, but def gets better & easier. The hard part for us is we live on the opposite coast from both of our families & don’t have help. I promise you there will be trying & hard moments but it will get better! It’ll all be worth it because they’ll grow up together. Good luck brotha!!!!

The shift from 1 to 2 is huge. I don’t think any parent can fathom how much will change until they’re actually in it. Life will definitely get easier for you, it’s very early days. I hope you find your new normal soon 🤍🤍

i have no doubt you’ll get into the groove in no time. and you’ll get to make your favorite pastimes their favorite pastimes too. some of my greatest memories are of my dad taking me & my siblings hiking, camping, traveling. just a little patience & fortitude in the interim. you got this 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

My youngest is 15mo now and this has not really changed for me. It why I say no to travel and everyone is like “but into Chris you have to go!” (Farcon, Nouns Town) and I’m like yeah ok I have much more important things to do. In the end you lose (at least temporarily) your own time and need to even more ruthlessly propritoze high value events. I miss simple things too like drinking coffee and reading the news in the morning in peace (let alone walking to the farmers market to get something delicious). But the bright side is he’s old enough to play with her and they do entertain each other at least for 20m a day and I see that growing.

Damn. Thanks for posting this, because it was my fear for sure. Being overwhelmed with one kid sometimes I am not sure a second one would have brought out the best in me (like the first one did)

adjustments have to me made, its ok to "change" priorities and lose a few games, once they grew up you'll have the opportunity to take them to the stadium and transmit your passion and love for your teams! been there, done that :)

Yeah, I don’t think I’ll ever have kids bc I 100% won’t survive as a single parent unless I’m very financially stable (fly to the moon, eth, fly) Good luck, my man
