From bachelor chaos to routine guy and I don't even recognize myself

Got married at 28, became a dad at 30, and now at 35 I'm the guy who meal preps on Sundays and knows the best deals at Target. Five years ago I'd sleep until noon on weekends and go out whenever. Now I'm in bed by 10 because my daughter wakes up at 6am and I actually WANT that sleep. I used to play in a band and haven't touched my guitar in 3 years. I don't miss it as much as I thought I would but sometimes I wonder who that guy was.

The meal prep thing is real. Started doing it because of time management and now I actually enjoy the planning part. Never thought I'd be the guy organizing containers but here we are.

At 35 with routine and structure you're probably happier than you were at 28 running around chaotically. There's something really satisfying about having your life together for your family.

This is me exactly. I used to be the guy who went out four nights a week and now Sunday meal prep is like my favorite thing. It's weird but also kind of amazing how much that shifts when you become a dad.
