Life Update: The Joys and Horrors of Parenting

Been a while, there's lots to catch up on.

This is the most personal, raw KZbin video I've ever seen. May putting these very difficult emotions out there turn into something more positive in the long run!

It almost made me emotional a little when you said your son has OCD and he feels happy because you share that in common. The love of a child is something I will never know because I didn't think I was fit, so I understand what you are saying here. Also the amount of angst in an overwhelming love or the desire to over protect...anyway, what a sweet thing. To be happy for OCD...bless him. I don't know you, of course, noone here does, but I would imagine any child of yours will have a treasure trove in you for all the thoughts, intellect you will share. Thank you for sharing them with us. I hope everything keeps moving up on the graph. ❤

20:16 Welcome into the world Henry ! Surely, you will have wonderful times and memories soon 🥳

As a father of 2 young children, just through the baby phase and wondering how I survived, this had me emotional. I deeply sympathise with some of those feelings you experienced. It is such a challenging period of time in the moment, I wonder how anyone gets through unscathed. Best wishes for you and your family, stay strong and keep talking about it!

Sailor, your videos have been helping me, so, with the nothing that I have to give back, I wish you to live through all the emotions and be positively changed in the end. My mother is a single mother, my dad left us on the day I was born, so she was dealing with everything on her own ever since. She has told me a lot and one has to be strong to go through it. But in the end, it will be so worth it. I wish you and your family great health! Henry will make you proud everyday ✨✨✨

Henry is a beautiful name, my grandpa was called like that :)

15:18 Funny you say that 😋 I am not a parent myself but I recalled when my brother and I were visiting our godson once a year (since he was a baby until 14yo now). My brother surprised me when he recently said that he finally enjoys seeing our godson because the child is old & calm enough to discuss about anime they commonly watch... Before that, like you, he couldn't really bond with our godson 😅 In contrast, as a girl, I enjoy seeing my godson since the beginning but I see him more as someone within the extended family circle rather than my "special" godson x)

18:20 Big ups to the wife indeed !

Yeah I think we focus too much on diagnoses. I listened to a heartbreaking documentary about a girl that was falsely diagnosed as autistic and basically ruined her life or made it almost impossible for her to get a normal job. Lost of people (in Sweden at least) wants to remove their diagnose bc they don't recognize themselves in them anymore. Doctors were handing out mental disorder diagnoses like candies and still are.

20-year-old music school student heading back home for holiday break, and I’m on hour 8 of my drive. This video is one hell of an accompaniment to a completely empty highway in pitch black darkness, especially considering I’m driving away from one of the roughest semesters of my life. When you talk about your receptors getting gunked up as you age, it terrifies me. I want to mitigate regret in my old age, but I guess I want to experience bliss to my own upper limits. What do you recommend? You have years over me, and have done a lot more reading on the human condition it seems like. Should I work my ass off now and put indulgence aside, or should I still let myself experience it when I’m most sensitive to things like dopamine? Thanks, love your videos

I wish I was a person who has optimism.

17:40 Don't worry about that ! Personally, I'm grateful for your work as it helps me a lot when I had difficulties to sleep and when I needed a good laugh So, you should focus on your health, that's the most important !
