Have small children. You'll grow to appreciate those moments at times. Not all the time. Like once a month and its heavenly.

This, there is a reason I wait in my truck after I get home from work, 10 minutes just relaxing before walking in the door.

I treat myself to a solo steak lunch then a solo theatre matinee once a week while the wife is at work. It’s one of my biggest pleasures in life.

We don’t have kids though, I realize that’s not feasible for everybody.

or going to the grocery and then realizing I left my cell phone on the kitchen table

I compared canned green bean ingredients for about half an hour

I saw a post a while back for autism awareness and there was a line that had something like “remember how your dad liked to sit in the car for a while ‘just to gather himself’ before coming in” trying to say that was a sign of being on the spectrum.

My first thought was “damn I must be autistic as hell”

When my father in law sold his lake house, my wife cried for the loss of future memories on the water.

I cried because I no longer had a built-in opportunity for the wife and kids to leave while I stayed at home.

Everyone here is polite and whenever two people get to a checkout lane or something similar each person does the politeness dance and insists the other person go first. I shut that down immediately and say that I have two small kids at home and am basically on vacation. Please go ahead of me

I have 3 females in my house. They hunt me down.

If I went to a restaurant to eat alone, all hell would break loose, kid sick at school, flat tire, something.

I've showed them the meme about it's a woman's job that when she sees a man happy they put a stop to that nonsense. They are good at it.

I was that dude for a long time. It gets old. Much happier having a family to go home to now (though I do still appreciate the rare evening of solitude).

That's why I love to go deer hunting by myself sometimes. Don't get me wrong, it's a joy to bring my kids hunting, but it doesn't beat that peace and quiet by myself.

No matter how many times you asked "Do you need anything?" Before you sit down and get comfortable. As soon as you start to look too blissfully relaxed there will be something new to do.

After a long day at work a 20 or 30 minute period with no chaos is damn near essential to retain equanimity

A shower takes me 15 mins. 1 min to clean myself; 14 mins to ponder my life's choices.
