Factor? It's fresh made ready meals, basically like meal prep but someone else does the prepping. Then you just heat it up. You could each choose your own meals.
Or tbf, you could do meal prep on the weekends. One person takes the kid for a walk and the other just cooks for an hour or two and puts everything in the freezer.
The only experience I had was Hello Fresh back during lockdowns. I also found myself taking longer to cook the dishes than they quoted. Hopefully someone else has more experience and can add some suggestions, but while looking around I saw that there are some services that are more 'open and heat up' than cooking. Maybe that could work for the busiest days of the week?
You also might have already come across this, but I browsed this article on pc mag to see what's out there now.
I'm the Mom, but I - er - the kid got Dad a personalized book to celebrate the fact that it is a first father's day and then Dad and kid went to the local children's science museum to explore together and make memories. I'm with kid nearly 24/7 so having dedicated dad-and-kid time is rare and a rare gift indeed. Thanks capitalism for that set of circumstances.
Congrats, dude. It's a fucking wild, exhausting ride, but I wouldn't change a thing. The hardest part, by far, is finding time for your own interests.
Remember: the standard is that you show up, and you try to be a good parent. Anything over that is icing on the cake. You don't need to compare yourself to anyone else. If you're there for your kids, and you're trying, you are fucking killing it and don't let anyone say anything otherwise
That's a great setup by the sounds of it. I'm a remote worker, so I can be dad-on-demand if needed, but I do have to focus on actual work most of the time, so my kids are in school/child care.
I try hard to be a decent human; I've had the misfortune of dealing with a lot of shitty individuals in my younger years. They served as good inspiration, I suppose. I'm fortunate that only the caustic sense of humour from that cohort has seemed to rub off on me, and nothing else.
My day is going quite well, too. Thanks for asking. Hope yours is going great.
I think yours sounds like a good setup as well; I'm sure there will be a point where I'm thinking "I can't wait till you start school"
I try to be a decent human
All of this sounds very familiar and I will say I'm a fan of the work you've done that's led to who you are. Seriously, I'm glad to have met such a rock solid individual
My daughter is still very young but I'm seeing other families give their kids tablets and phones to play with at as young as five years old. We don't allow any screen time but I know that as time passes it will be increasingly hard to hold her back.
My nephew plays COD. He is 8. He sleeps with his iPad.
The nieces are are 6 and 11. They are obsessed with tiktok.
My son is 7 and goes to school with kids that have iPhones.
And my son only watches screens when we are supervising. He watches a lot of TV and plays Switch games though. Never phones and we don't have a tablet or any of the streaming stuff.
My daughter will turn two in a couple of months and it is finally getting to the stage where we can entertain each other and I can actually enjoy some of her activities with her.
Hang in there till then!
Remember when the ontario government spent millions on updating the sex ed program to be more inclusive (and include new information about online safety). But because some provincial conservative party members didn't like the new sexual orientation/gender education Ford ditched the new program in favour of the 1998 guidelines?
