From single guy chaos to organized father of two

2d ago·1 min read

Five years ago I was the guy with dishes in the sink and a closet that looked like a tornado hit it. Now I've got a color coded chore chart, meal prep on Sundays, and I actually care about having clean sheets. My kids have routines and structure because I had to grow up. I miss the spontaneity sometimes but honestly the stability is so much better. Can't imagine going back.

Same trajectory here man. Went from chaos to actual organization because you've got little humans depending on you. Dishes in the sink turned into a whole system. Pretty wild how that changes you.

The tornado closet phase. I remember that life. Now I can barely find five minutes to myself but at least my house isn't a disaster zone anymore. Small wins, right?

This is my life right now. Five years ago I was basically living like a bachelor and now I'm actually keeping my place together. Co-parenting two kids will do that to you real fast.

Do your kids ever call you out on the old you? Mine occasionally asks why there's no old photos of me being messy, like they can't imagine dad any other way.
