My parents brought my 5yo daughter a bike and it's still in Chicago

So I went and got her one for the house. As she riding thru the store ppl are asking if it's her birthday and she legit confused like nah, my birthday January.

These are the times when I enjoy fatherhood. Being able to get em shit just cause.

I see it as I don't have a choice so ain't no point in thinking about how hard it is. Got 3 kids 4-13, soccer, theater, gymnastics, all that. I volunteer assistant coach soccer, work, etc.

Being in the Navy unfortunately comes with some sacrifices I’d rather not do. Normally I work nights so during the week I work from 3:30 PM to sometimes 12, 1 AM. Kids sleep when I get home so I try to be up in the morning early as I can to spend sometime with them. If they were in public school this year I’d barely see them during the week. It’s kinda the blessing of them being home schooled this year but it’s probably not gonna last past this year. If I have to go on detachment I’m gone for at most a month or so and the very least two weeks.

It will only get worse once I go on sea duty probably later this year (plus we might move from VA again). I try to be there as much as I can but I know it’s gonna be more difficult the next few years.

Whats your rate bro
 
Delicate balance.

Im super involved...cause my pops always prioritized work over all....thats not what mine are gonna remember about me

Them extracurriculars will wear you out tho
 
It can be difficult to find a balance, especially in my situation where I have my first child and I have to balance those hats you know? I have to learn to carve out at least an hour each day during the week for family time and put the phone down
 
One more thing I would like to recommend to all the fathers is that find what is successful regarding fatherhood and put your own spin on it. While you may be in great standing with your circle or anybody you hold in high regard; if they've never been a parent, then you know without me telling you how much their opinion is worth regarding fatherhood. Stay true to what you believe in as a father and be willing to change what's not working
