I used to make fun of my dad for falling asleep on the couch. Now I get it.

When I was a kid, I thought my dad was just lazy.
Every weekend, he’d come home from work, sit on the couch with the TV on, and pass out in like 5 minutes.
Now I’m grown. Working full-time. Paying bills. Trying to be “on” all the time.
And I fall asleep the same exact way.
I don’t think he was ever lazy. He was just… exhausted.
I wish I’d known back then. I would’ve let him sleep in peace.

    One of the reasons I won’t have children. I like collapsing on the couch and watch TV in silence without having to worry about kids
