I haven’t been loving Breaking News as much lately, but this episode had me rolling

Very minor, but it definitely does look better

Why is that?

Making time for yourself gives you an opportunity to be better dad and partner. I understand feeling guilty, but be sure to remind yourself that. Give yourself room to decompress and take care of yourself - don’t put that mental weight on yourself because it makes things harder especially when you’re already doing a good thing for yourself and your family.

Make sure your partner gets that chance too (which you said they do) and you can be your best possible parenting team.

I don’t follow local tv or social media either, but I find the newspaper to be pretty informative overall

What would a victory lap be in this context?

I can’t remember the name of the item, but the bag of beans can make for some proper insanity

Happy to see that Jak is back. I’m sort of amazed they were able to keep enough episodes banked to seemingly have no interruptions in the main campaign

I don’t have much to offer in the way of suggestions, but it is genuinely relieving to know I’m not the only one with this kind of issue.

On top of noise reducing earplugs, I’d also suggest that you try to figure out ways you can reset your stress/overwhelm levels. For me, that can be listening to music on headphones (a predictable noise, which helps settle me) or taking a shower. You can work with your partner (or family/friends/neighbors) to support you in avoiding situations that are triggering (preparing dinner, for me). You can have activities ready to entertain your child while you take care of yourself (maybe an audiobook on headphones for them, coloring pages, sensory play, etc).

The game is about managing things and identifying when you start to get overwhelmed. There’s no silver bullet, but lots of little steps can make a huge impact.

These images are amazing. I really like the descriptions they have for each one too

Everything is looking normal for me on Apple Podcasts and on Patreon. Seems like Spotify is okay as well.

Can confirm this is on bedrock as well
