From party guy to dad who gets excited about nap schedules

1w ago1 min read

Five years ago I was still going out 3-4 nights a week, sleeping till noon on weekends, living pretty recklessly honestly. My buddy called me yesterday to see if I wanted to go to Vegas for a bachelor party weekend and I actually turned it down because my son has his first soccer tournament. I don't even recognize that person I used to be. I miss the freedom sometimes for like 2 seconds, then I remember feeling empty a lot back then. Now I'm genuinely excited about little stuff like watching my daughter nail her alphabet. It's weird how fast your priorities just flip.

From party guy to nap schedule guy, that's the dad evolution right there. You're not alone in this change, and honestly it sounds like you're crushing it.

That transition hits different. Five years ago me would never believe I'd be excited about bedtime routines, but here we are. Your buddy will get it someday.

Ha, the nap schedule thing is so real. I'm six weeks in and my daughter knocked out for two hours yesterday and I was genuinely thrilled about it. Welcome to the club!
