Totally understand it Y’all! The 1st 5 years were a CHORE with my 2 sons. They’re almost 2 years apart, and now are 26 & 24 (i can’t believe we used to go through the exact same experience). Its worth the ride y’all, you just gotta power through the young’n days. Hope you guys enjoy a nice Adult Beverage, 🍻 Cheers to Family Life 👊🏼😎🤙🏼

Coming from a father of one with number two on the way, this is the most commendable thing you can do. I work long hours, basically from 8am-5:30 hour drive to and from work then work once I get home from 7:30-11:30 some nights. It’s so hard to spend time with the wife and kids, but when you do, it’s all you want to do. People without kids would never understand. The time I get to spend with my daughter is unmatched to anything else.

As a father of 3 and a smaller content creator, I get it 100%. I have a 17,14, and soon to be 4yr old and I end up being up at 3am daily to record and post so that my day is spent doing my normal job as well as taxi service and chef for everyone. You are doing right by your kids. I see so many parents exploit their kids daily lives that I am not sure the kids understand what a normal childhood is when a camera is always on or in their face. I have admired you and the Mrs and how you always truly put them first. Keep it up, they are going to grow up happy and healthy with amazing parents who still know how to be parents and not just their friend which we see too much of these days. Love y'all!

Once they start driving you might get to see your old life again. Your old life is in the past you actually have a new life. Life is not the same it only it gets better and better once the kids start having their own lives. As you will learn your life is not your own, it belongs to your children. You and your wife look like your doing a great job of raising your children. You have earned my respect. I raised my three kids on my own without my wife.
