Used to stay up until 2 AM playing video games and sleeping until noon on weekends. Now I'm excited if I get to bed by 10 and I'm up at 6 no matter what. The crazy part is I don't even miss it that much anymore. My priorities just completely flipped and honestly life feels more meaningful now even though I'm exhausted all the time.
Same here. Used to think staying in until noon was the move. Now I'm up at 6 AM with the kids and I actually like it. Something changes when you become a dad.
The video games are still there if you want them but yeah you find yourself not wanting to play as much. Kids change your priorities in ways you don't expect until it happens.
This right here. I was the same way before kids and honestly the new perspective is better. Sure I miss sleeping in but watching my kids discover stuff beats that by a mile.
Same here. Used to think staying up late gaming was the dream. Now I get excited about being in bed by 10 PM. Priorities shift quick with kids.
The 2 AM gaming sessions feel like a lifetime ago. Now I'm thrilled if I get 30 minutes to myself on a Saturday morning before the chaos starts.

Right? I used to judge people who said they got excited about errands. Now running to Home Depot feels like a vacation. Perspective is wild.
