Did you cease? Desist? Both? Neither!?

There are laws preventing someone from jacking up the prices of necessary items during emergencies. But I think the law of supply and demand is the only thing stopping you from selling a baseball hat for $20,000.

A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman soundtrack.

This package of bagels I bought expired on a date that doesn't exist. (i.imgur.com)

I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.

Great question Mr. Satan. I’d probably say the poop flavored chocolate, simply because it is chocolate and not poop.

My second is now 2.5 months old. The lower back pain from the hospital chair/bed remains.

Seriously though, congrats! Happy things went well!

Good morning.

It's 7:15am and we have been up since 6:30am.

Indeed. You will be finding that glitter until the end of days.

I feel this. My wife was mostly on bed rest toward the end of her second pregnancy. We also have a toddler. I was basically taking care of our toddler, our two dogs, and the upkeep/cleaning of our house all on my own. Plus working a full time, very stressful job that pays most of our bills. The stress was real. And I was exhausted.

Keep your head up. But just know that after a C-section your wife won’t be able to do any heavy lifting, driving, and other things for at least 6 weeks afterward. If you have family or friends that you are able to reach out to, it could be good to do so. I don’t necessarily mean having people hang around your house all day. No one wants that. But maybe people can drop off some hot meals for you? Deliver groceries to you? Simple things that can save you a lot of time.

At the end of the day, and as much as your wife needs the help, remember to take some time for yourself. I found myself getting unreasonably frustrated at times, and I internalized that a lot. We can’t be good fathers and husbands if we are drowning.

Keep reaching out here if you need to vent or need advice!
