For the first decade, you don't really.

Decade?
Here I was hoping when the youngest is a year or two older I'd start sleeping again. If it was just the eldest it wouldn't be as bad- occasional all night sleeps.

It's fine, you want to take care of your kids. My oldest, she's almost 14, is way too independent. It makes me sad but also very happy because my GF and I have succeeded into fostering a flowering human being.

I have a friend with two 10+-aged kids. He used to moan (not much though, he has clearly been happy to be a parent) about the time the kids require. Now he is moaning about the challenge of getting them spend any time with him.

Yes, that's me too. The only time they talk to me is when I drive them to their sports actitivities.

My oldest is still there for me, but the change... I can see it coming

I feel like that's around the same time as you become a taxi driver first and beloved family member second, right?

Are you ok, Toronto?

[Josquius]

Just looking at that makes me throw up.

I recall seeing similar about people reading on the train, staying in their own little bubble and just ignoring each other.... exactly as people complain about phones as if its something new.

Awesome. Yeah, turns out people are just people.

Someone tried to burn down the governor's mansion in Pennsylvania.  Shapiro and family are all right.

I wonder what the odds are that it was a "very fine person" vs something that "doesn't happen in a vacuum."

Doesn't appear to be either.

Appears to be a Tsarist. Rasputin back from the dead. Did not see that coming.
