[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really hard. Some parents make their SN DC their hobby, some dissociate, check out, and/or divorce. Some focus on their own lives through work, social or hobbies. What do you like to do? In a perfect world with the time, money, and energy, what would you do? In the real world with constraints, how can you make it happen, to whatever extent?[/quote] OP here - in the ideal world, my kid would be able to integrate in my hobbies and things I find joyful. I've had to mostly toss all of those aside to deal with the kid when we are not at work. For example, I have not worked out in the gym in over a year. I'm not getting up at 5am when I already sleep like sh#t to work out. My kid won't play with toys or keep themselves occupied while I work out; they need constant stimulation when awake. We have cut basically all screen time, as that was leading to more tantrums and dysregulation. Kid can't handle screens responsibly. [/quote]
