From bachelor chaos to actual routine - 2 years in

Two years ago my life was sleeping till noon, eating takeout every night, bunch of random hobbies I never finished. Met my now-wife, we had a kid, and suddenly I'm the guy who goes to bed at 10pm because I have to be up with a toddler. I actually meal prep now which sounds insane. I miss the freedom honestly, being able to just grab beers with buddies whenever. But I can't explain it - holding my daughter when she's sick or just asking me to read her a story, that hits different. Never thought I'd be this guy and that's kind of beautiful I guess.

The sleeping till noon feels like a lifetime ago for me too. Two years in and I can't even imagine that lifestyle but also sometimes I miss it for like five seconds.

Two years hits different man. You go from zero structure to running a whole operation. I'm curious what hobbies stuck around and what you just had to let go of?

This is wild to read because I'm only 6 months in and still eating like a bachelor half the time. How long did it take before the routine actually felt normal instead of forced?
