And here's the final result of all that hard work. Hopefully she'll like it. If not then it wasn't for a lack of thought and effort. My wife was neon green yesterday, warned her she wasn't getting to sleep early and had a good porn star quality s…

Here's, an intentionally, blurred photo of how a few of the pages look. I'm pleased with how they've turned out. Hopefully my wife will feel the same way.

So, today's lessons learned are: 1). Stick to poster paint when it comes to painting a kid's hand (for a hand print). I used water-based acrylic paint on my son's hand and whilst it came off easy in small amounts, I had to use a micro-fibre cloth t…

And here's the Xmas present from our kids to my wife. Once the paint has dried, I'll spray a laquer on the calendar pages to protect the paint and then I'll run a couple passes with the water-based varnish over the handprints on the clipboard. I'll …

The coaching is REALLY worth the money. $150 for an hour video chat sounds like a lot, but the insights and takeaways will give you a clear focus on where you need to improve yourself.

I'll leave it two days as the paint seems to take longer to dry in my cold garage. Then I'll apply one coat of varnish Thursday morning and another Thursday night and a final coat Friday morning. I'll then wrap them Friday night.

Aaaaaaand, after a LOT of moaning, chart two is also finished and now drying.

One down...

Get a fucking room you two..

Fuck. Just, fuck. Now I know what it feels like to be on the other side of a closing forum. God damn you Karma! Haven't I suffered enough! *shakes fist* Looks like @Athol_Kay just Phase-six'ed the whole forum. I can't believe just how awesome thi…

Appreciate the insights and feedback everyone. Truly. Been a hugely exhausting week, very little sleep with stressing over this and the kids waking up in the night. Athol asked me if I believed if I was seeing much of a return on the huge energy an…

@Adam_S Sounds a bit like my wife! The apple never falls far from the tree! The joys of being the Captain eh?

Indeed, or she might retaliate and send an unwanted photo back...

@Adam_S In all honesty, whilst I fully appreciate status and power's place as a brand of attraction (and how it speaks to the lizard brain of providing comfort for a woman and her kids), it still seems, to me, a fairly shallow reason if it's your *m…

The saga continues (it's like a fucking high-paced drama series in my life this week!). My wife came into our bedroom and said in passing that she doesn't want to fight anymore. I asked her to sit down on the bed beside me and I explained that, no …
-
So... Had that conversation with my Wife and she tried to Darvo the absolute fuck out of it. Said that he and her were "two lonely people who got on well". She said that I was never there for her (which WAS a fair point that I told her I had already…

Another alternative is looking at the bodyweight program on the Athlean-X website: https://athleanx.com/xero Not free, but something you can do in the home (or anywhere really) and you can do it with your son. Allowing you both to build up a solid…

CartB4Horse said: You've got this @IrishGypsy. Your eyes are wide open now and you are setting limits. She's resisting your MAP, resisting you growing a back bone. KEEP IT UP. He said that it was a good thing I told her I was uncomfo…

So, just had my 1-hr call with Athol. Summary of take always are: * My new job marks my entry into Phase 2 of the MAP, as the increased income balances out the financial contributions, reducing stress from her and also removing my dependency on her…

Another couple of great kid-friendly/bonding workouts are either: * Goblet Squats: Hold your kid under their arms (hug their waists of they're too tall) and make them count the reps. If they're cheeky, they'll miscount and make you do more. Suck it…

MAPing is a fucking HUGE energy sink. I totally get how you feel. Ive, finally - and thankfully, put sex at the bottom of my MAP. My wife once said something very insightful that has stuck with me and is helping to keep me sane right now (see my MA…
-
How old are your kids? If they're not too old, you can ask them to get on your back for some challenging pushups! I do 10 reps with my daughter on my back every morning when she wakes up (and she returns the favour with 10 starjumps for both of us).…

Thanks @frillyfun I'll keep that in mind thanks. Just booked a 1-hour call with Athol for tomorrow. Looking forward to figuring out a way to Captain our family through this.

I've sent the contact form off to request the 1hr call with Athol. Hopefully he can slot me in for an hour before Xmas rolls around. @Adam_S I know she's gone a bit mad on Xmas with £80+ toys for the kids. She's also spent about £100 on food for Xm…
