From Party Guy to Dad Guy

Man I miss sleeping in on weekends and just doing whatever I wanted on a Friday night. Now my idea of a wild Saturday is going to Home Depot and actually being excited about it. The trade off though? My 6 year old told me yesterday I was his hero. Never thought those words would mean more to me than a night out with the boys ever could. I'm a completely different person and honestly I wouldn't go back.

I used to feel the same way about losing my freedom, but honestly my favorite Saturdays now are just hanging with my kid doing simple stuff. The wild nights weren't as fulfilling as I thought they'd be.

That shift from party mode to dad mode is real, but you figure out pretty quick that Home Depot and quality time with your kids beats a lot of what you used to do. You'll adapt.

Home Depot trips hit different when you're shopping for your house instead of yourself. That's not boring, that's building something real for your family.
