Been cogitating on the original question quite a bit since it was posted. It’s definitely made me realise that I am really, really not cut out for the stay-at-home Dad thing that I effectively had thrust upon me. This has lead to an awful lot of job applications being filed, although after effectively 3 years out of work (even if it made logical sense to us), I suspect finding an opening is going to be hard. Especially if it’s in a company I want to work for doing a role I actually want to be doing, and that can be done completely remotely.
General conclusion: Lockdown has been a screaming pile of shit.

Few more children then part the ones you like least out to the highest bidder on the dark web?
I really, genuinely thought my work:life balance was pretty good, with hindsight purely on the basis that it was better than that of most people I knew. As much as it’s been tough and relentless doing the two jobs/homeschool/toddler thing I realise now that we really didn’t spend nearly enough time together as a family.
Having a two year old has pushed it all into comedy chaos territory but at the same time I’m so glad we decided to have three kids and in many ways he’s probably saved things for us- the slapstick midget is a goldmine of laughs and at least one of us is absolutely thriving in this situation which helps us feel like we’re not fucking absolutely everything up constantly.

Really not very good. At all.
Don’t know what to say. But not good.
I hurt a lot.
I’m fed up.
I’m pissed off for so many reasons.
I’m crying.
I hate my life right now. And I can’t see any positives.

There’s not much under the sun that can’t be put right with a cup of tea and a wank

Have you talked to anyone?
What do you think he was doing 7 posts back, duh.
I’ve always thought that it’s really easy to see how a midlife crisis comes along. You’re essentially trapped in your job because you’ve done it for years so are good at it, so nothing else pays as well for you. But you’ve done it for ages so are deeply bored of it. You have a mortgage so aren’t able to change anything easily.
And what is life actually for, anyway? Especially if you can’t afford a Porsche, and don’t live within easy driving distance of the Turan.
