Plans hella change everyday for me. Parents that say ,”oh no my kid will go off my schedule, I’m not going to have them rule my life.” Um yeah fucking right !! that doesn’t really happen. Regardless of what schedule you might think you might have for the day it could change from one moment to the next. And sometimes it won’t even be because of the kid.

Take this morning for instance.  I go to the gym at 6am 3 to 4 times a week. Somewhere during the night my wife gave me the baby to ease him to sleep and he just happened to stay in my arms the whole night. I wake up with him cuddled in my arms and I just couldn’t move him. Not because I didn’t want to go to the gym but because I wanted to spend just one more hour with him before I had to start my day. During the week I see him maybe 5 hours a day so taking advantage of some extra time here and there to me is worth it. Plus I go running everyday after work so it’s not like I won’t get in some physical activity in.

The point is you have to be comfortable and okay with things changing day to day. Yes a schedule is nice it provides stability for the family but those moments where it’s out of your hands or you just want an extra hour of bonding time in the morning don’t beat yourself up over it.
