Thats how we do it. I sleep all night.
Train two mornings a week and two nights a week. Help out every other evening where I can.
Its actually a tonne of fun!
Tim.
dude, that sounds good for you but I bet inside your mrs is seething, gone two mornings and nights a week!!
the guys have it easy new borns are hard fucking work, they require your full fucking attention. At least I get out of the house for 10-12 hrs a day.
Got that fun coming in August.
Plus going to have the inlaws here for two months then my mum down for a few weeks.
Going to be interesting as the inlaws barely speak any English and my Chinese is fairly terrible.
........second fittest if your at my kids pool!I still plan to be the fittest dad in the kids pools this coming summer
Don't know anything about you except from what I just read above. I had my 5th girl 11 months ago and all is great. Look at this in a positive way, and the proof that you are doing so already is the fact that you've posted this thread. By that I mean this new baby has got you to think of an alternative way; a better way, a smarter way to train perhaps. Have you considered the fact that you can activate all your muscles with about 4 exercises! Two days for weight training and the rest for a much needed dopamine hit, released via that ancient (and natural movement) we call walking.Have my second child on the way next week and no doubt lack of sleep will be a factor. I am doing Tough Mudder in August again so need to keep up the strength and fitness. Problem is the extra duties to take care of.
I normally run around 4.30am but can't see that happening after sleepless nights. I have a small window to get to work and be out of work to be able to pick my son up from daycare and then doing the dad duties when I get home.
Weekends are usually the rest period but I am starting to think maybe I could fit in my big workouts on these days.
Anyway got any tips on working out with limited time?
Congratulations on your second child.
Mmmm, eh,..what TV!! Hahaha, yeh they're wonderful girls, I'm truly blessed!
Fadi.
I will side with big mick. If your wife is a stay at home mum you would reasonably expect they do most of the house chores while they are home. That's why they are staying home. If they say they don't have enough time they are talking out their arse. Stay at home mum is a pretty cushy job.
Depends on the age of your kids, newborns are insanely hard work, I had our 8 week old for the day today and there was no way I could do shit. If I wasn't giving her my full attention she was crying, she would sleep but only if I rocked her, she has colic so every feed was followed by an hour of solid crying.
Utmost respect to my mrs who who has to put up with this 12 hours a day 6 days a week while I escape to work. Fucked if I'd swap with her.
I ain't complaining, I'm loving been a parent it's insanely rewarding, but babies are a special kind of hell at the same time.
school age kids and she's still home well unless your making heaps that's just a piss take get the bitch back to work.
Depends on the kid also.
Know a couple with a new born and she says that she is bored as. Kid just sleeps all the time.
Another couple. The kid is a pain. Just cries all the time.
Yeah I couldn't look after kids 7 days a week. Blow my brains out. I can't stand em.
