What's the difference between a new father and a tired father?

About three months. I'm currently at the 18 month mark with my second kid and I'm pretty sure I've lost the ability to form complete sentences. Had to leave a work meeting yesterday because I forgot what I was talking about mid-sentence. Pretty sure everyone just thinks I'm having a stroke but really I just haven't slept more than 4 hours straight since April.

Three months feels about right but honestly the tired father phase never really ends, it just becomes your baseline. My oldest is 8 and I'm still running on fumes most days.

18 months in and you're still conscious enough to make jokes about it? That's the real victory here. I'm at 2 kids now and I think I've forgotten what sleep actually feels like.

Dude I'm only at 3 months with my first and already feel like a zombie. How are you even typing coherent sentences at 18 months?
