One day I was cleaning out my second child’s too small clothes and legitimately thought “If we have another I won’t have to do this right now.” Babies are cool indeed!

That feeling of all the bars being so similar was an early prelude to stopping going out all the time for me. I always thought it was weird that I never missed something I spent 5 - 7 days a week doing for over a decade. When the novelty wore off it was so easy to just never go back.
