I get pissed off when I read about all this cool poo poo that everyone else is doing like sleeping past 7 in the morning and doing things they want to do when they want to do them. I'm a teacher and most of my time not spent raising my children poorly is spent planning lessons or doing work related stuff. Then I have to...ugh...spend time with my wife and family. So there's no time for me to just be alone and stare at the wall like I used to do. I'm curious to see what other goons do. My imagination tells me that everyone here is an engineer or a computer toucher but I know that's probably not the case at all. And well we all know that Jeffrey makes his millions by selling avatars so we don't need to go into that.

I build poo poo


art or engineery bullshit or engineery bullshit that could conceivably be called art or enables different kinds of art


What do you do with the family OP
Teach your kids how to refinish furniture or spin pottery or sell poo poo on Etsy or mine coal or some poo poo. Turn them onto new hobbies that you also want to do

I play with hot wheels and pretend I'm a dinosaur/ghost/car/man (which i am but in this case I am a specific type of man, a daddy man)

have you considered just lifting your kids



I'm hearing a lot of complaining over there OP but all of these seem like solveable problems

What part of "I have a loving family and a fulfilling job" don't you get? Can't you see I'm rightfully miserable?

I'm the best teacher, an ESL teacher. And I get to drive between three different schools everyday, it rocks. The only downside is the planning because I have like 15 different classes which all need different lesson plans and most of them are five days a week so about 70 ish different lessons every week. But no extracurricular bullshit for me, no thank you; I co-led cub scouts one year and it was cool but that was when I was only at one school with far fewer students and didn't have kids of my own.

Also don't make jack in terms of money but the job is fun, kids are cool. Thank god my wife can support us.
