My daughter is four and my son is a year and a half. My wife (no pics) and I were thinking about what to do for Halloween and I swear last years Halloween was a month ago. I can remember that whole weekend like it was yesterday.

I’m already counting down the years until my daughter leaves the house. I’m a good dad but definitely can be selfish and regret not being a better one.

Sorry for the downer post, time is just a bitchh. Any advice from older dads would be appreciated

Well, they shut CERN down, so time is going slower (normal) again. Or at least that's what Twitter thinks.

You actually have plenty of time to be a better dad

Hell no. More like I’ll say to myself, “okay fourteen more years. 14 years ago was 2012 and seems like a long time ago”.

Seems the older we get the faster time goes. The 80's seem like yesterday, one look in the mirror says it wasn't.

I’m pretending I’ll get to spend the rest of my life with my 2 year old daughter and she’ll always be 2.

I have 2 children and several grandchildren.
Since you recognize imbalances and your heart tells you…. Put personal time and events on your calendar.

lol ok yeah. I was like bro!

Yeah I’m right there with you. Just trying to enjoy every stage of life with them instead of doing what my wife does and constantly obsessing about wishing they were younger. Someday I’ll wish they were the age they are right now, so i gotta soak it all up!
