It’s never ending
Not well.
I’m really enjoying it, the husband part not so much. Separated now, it’s just my son and I, and life is pretty close to perfect!
I also get to WFH while I hang out with my toddler and it’s pretty amazing.
I am extremely lucky and fulfilled!

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.
I love my 2 to death. But god damn we are struggling
In terms of the grind or money
So funny seeing all the negative that is somehow overshadowed by kids. Fuck that. I'm enough of a mess I don't need kids on top of that shit. About ready to get my DINKLYFE license plates.
Pretty good! Baby only wakes up about once in the night now. Which I’ll take vs multiple times per night. He was sleeping through the night for a few weeks but then his first tooth came along… maybe we’ll get back there again someday.
the regressions are tough, it feels like it’s every 6 weeks but you’ll get back there!
I am enjoying it!! It is hard but my kids are great. I am happy.
Existence is pain. But I wouldn’t give my kids up for anything
My parents, as immigrants in 1994 were able to save 30k working minimum wage jobs within 6 years to buy a house.
I, having lived here most of my life, gone to college, was supposed to be better off than them. Am broke AF. In debt. Only have a house and kid to my name but again, broke and in debt barely scraping by.
It's not even better for the now adult immigrant children.
I am 33. My parents had saved tens of thousands of dollars by the time my mom was 33.
BUSY
It's fun now, but it was harder when they were little. I have four, spanning from teenagers to a first grader. My spouse and I both work and my two older kids are really involved with sports, so you can guess where we spend most of our weekends (sports parents, iykyk). It's nice coming home to little people who adore you and it's an honor to raise them. It's very expensive. Sometimes I fantasize about how much money my husband and I would have if we were dinks.....but given the chance, I'd never change it.
Fine. 2 kids, 10 and 4. Bought a house in 2017, then our current house in 2021.
Not doing too bad, our daughter is 4 so we only have a year of putting a mortgage payment into daycare left. She is such a blast to be around and I love being a father though. We are fortunate to have skimped early on in our marriage and bought a starter home before the market went wild and managed to pay it off before covid. We were so lucky to have made the "right" decisions. If we had made just a couple wrong choices we would be struggling.
Crushing. Life is good.
I enjoy my kid so much. They are in hs now and so kind and smart. I also enjoy parenting intentionally and breaking the cycle of yelling/punishing/etc.
Doing good and cut down on childcare expenses by working less. Only around 3-4% of our gross income goes towards childcare. Working on upgrading into a larger house here in another year or so
Depends on what day you ask me 😂 I’m a (32F) hubby is a (47M), we have a 7 year old and I am due any day with our second. I’ll tell you what, parenting is so different than when I was a child. The sass that comes out of my daughter sometimes gives me whiplash. I hear her mirroring things on tv, her friends and peers at school, so I know it’s not just her! Some days it’s so much fun, she’s like my mini best friend. She loves art as do I and playing outside! Then, other days, I want to rip my hair out and sip a glass of wine in silence 😆
Both. My 4 year old has digeorge syndrome and needs a lot of therapies which my wife takes him too while still trying to do her job whilst I go to mine. Lot of added pressure that leaves little time for anything else.
I’m loving parenthood. She’s the best thing to ever happen to me. We’re six months in and it’s been the best six months of my life.
It’s expensive. Really expensive.

SLEEPY
but prepared
POOR
but also rich
Pretty good, had my kids very young when I was 20 and 22. Thankfully don’t need daycare anymore as my spouse and I both work three days a week on twelve hour shifts so it’s easy to always have someone be with the kids. With the way my job is we get a few weather days every now and then where we get to go home with full pay so I still get to spend some time with the family on those days.
No complaints really. They’ll both be out of the house before I turn forty or if they need a little more time at home they’ll at least be functioning adults.
I felt like it was better to have kids young so I’d be able to actually vacation and travel when I’m older and have actual money to enjoy it better.
It’s the most fun and the most work I’ve ever had

If I had a dollar for every time I seen a millennial with/without kids post Id be able to retire soon.
