    As a man with 2 young kids, yes. Yes you do. It’s an obligation for you to enjoy the free time as much as you can. I rely on my childless friends to fill me in on what’s happening in the cultured world, because for me my life is nothing but Bluey, Paw Patrol, and Cocomelon.


  • We have 2 kids. All property is in my name alone. I am the only one working.

    This situation works out fine, as 1 since I file taxes as head of household, and she files single, we never end up owing money come tax time. If we were married, we’d have a slight tax benefit, but not really much. Also since I technically make enough money to be in the bottom of the bracket that doesn’t qualify for state and federal benefits for the kids. So if we got married our kids would lose state insurance, which is good and covers everything, and instead i’d have to up my work insurance to cover my whole family, which is bad, barely covers anything, and is expensive.

    The benefits of marriage are nothing, and the negatives of it are very damaging. We are barely scraping by as we are, so no marriage.

    if it weren’t for the slight sliver of hope I still desperately cling onto that my kids still have the possibility to have a happier experience with life than I had, I would’ve taken the express route off this ride years ago.

    I was just a few dotted I’s and crossed t’s into finishing a plan when I learned I was having twins. So now I stick around, trying my best to give them the best experience with life that I possibly can. I’m not great at it, my personal life isn’t any better, I still hate everyone in this terrible world, but seeing them happy makes me smile. So there’s that.












  • This is the opposite of Dull. This is one of the most interesting things I’ve seen today.

    First off, building laundry shelves is awesome, I’ve been dreaming of making improvements to my laundry room for almost 5 years now, and I still haven’t done it. So heck yeah man that’s awesome.

    Secondly, that upside down wall mounted dryer is blowing my mind! Like what the heck! I didn’t know you could do that! Does that work? Do you just get used to all the labeling being unreadable? That’s insane! I mean, I get it, it puts the door closer to the ground, but I never would’ve thought that would work. Does it dry better or worse than if it were right side up? Does the lint trap still trap lint as well or do your clothes end up a little more… Fuzzy? Idk how to even tell if one dryer leaves more lint on clothes than others.

    I’m so intrigued.
