I’ve let my kids stay up late the last two nights so we could play board games. On Saturday we played Scrabble until it was an hour past their bedtime and then I decided that we’d have ice cream and watch TV for a while. They were thrilled. This time I spent with my kids wasn’t a “sacrifice” or a burden I heroically shouldered for their sake. I like hanging out with them. They’re smart and funny and fun to be around. Sure they can be annoying sometimes, but anyone can be annoying. I’ve annoyed countless people in my day. Including my kids.
If you hate being a parent and actively resent your children, it’s either because you categorically refuse to get out of your own head and put in the minimal effort it requires to develop a real relationship with them, or it’s because you’ve done a really crappy job raising them so now they’re hard to be around. Either way, it’s a you problem. It’s your fault. Not theirs. It’s your responsibility, then, to pretend you don’t hate it.
Yes, pretend. Yes, suppress your true feelings. Yes, put on an act. Maintain the facade for your kids, because it’s deeply scarring and unfair to saddle them with your personal issues. And maintain the facade for the public, because frankly we don’t want to have to deal with your narcissistic nonsense either. Your “true self” is unsightly and off putting, and you shouldn’t force anyone to bear witness to it.
So fake it til you make it. Act like the kind of parent you should be, until you actually become that parent. Shoulder the burden of your own narcissism silently and with dignity. If you do that, after a while, and by definition, you will no longer be a narcissist. One day you’ll look up and realize that you’re actually not faking it anymore. You really do enjoy giving your time and yourself to those you love.
At least that’s how it often works. I don’t know if it will for you or not. But either way, whatever you do, don’t take your failures out on your children.

Timeline of Cam Skattebo’s WILD off-season.
-Claims CTE and asthma isn't real.
-Apologizes for the lapse of judgement.
-His mother said that Skattebo had asthma as a child.
-Tries to buy Knicks courtside finals tickets for $500. Tickets were going for 200x that.
-Backflip #1 at a charity softball game. Impeccable landing.
-Backflip #2 of the summer. Skattebo pulls up the right leg of his pants to reveal the surgery scars. He waves off the scars like they are a figment of everyone's collective imagination. Adjusts his cap presumably to make sure he isn't dreaming. Goes for a backflip and completely stacks it, falling back in slow motion like a grand oak that has just been fell before brushing it off, clapping twice and screaming.
-Followed that up by saying that 'I'm just going to keep being me. If they wanna say I'm brain dead, who cares'.
-Went down after colliding with Arvell Reese in camp.
-Played his first game last weekend.

A lot of fantasy football drafts come down to being willing to disagree with ADP.
There are quite a few players this year where I just don’t agree with the price.
Jaxson Dart is going as QB7 after averaging 22.6 fantasy points in his 12 starts last season. He had eight top-10 QB weeks and did almost all of that without Malik Nabers. Dart also ran for 487 yards and nine touchdowns.
Nabers is back, and the Giants added Isaiah Likely and Darnell Mooney.
I like Dart this year.
Kyler Murray is QB17, which feels too low to me.
Before last season, he had finished as a top-12 quarterback in fantasy points per game in each of his first six seasons. Now he gets Kevin O’Connell, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson.
At QB17, I’m in.
Kenny Gainwell is RB32.
In the 10 games where he’s had at least 14 touches, he’s averaged 18.6 fantasy points. Bucky Irving missed seven games last season, and I’m not sure Tampa Bay’s backfield ends up being as one-sided as people expect.
There are drafts where I’d rather pass on Irving and take Gainwell much later.
Terry McLaurin is going as WR23 after a season where he and Jayden Daniels both missed significant time.
In 2024, McLaurin finished as WR7 with 13 touchdowns and more than 1,000 yards.
WR23 works for me.
Then there are the guys I’m looking at later.
Jalen Coker got a three-year extension after working his way into a bigger role with Bryce Young.
Blake Corum averaged 5.1 yards per carry last season.
Cam Ward played his best football late in his rookie year and costs almost nothing in 1-QB leagues.
None of these guys are secrets.
I just think they’re going later than they should.
I wrote about my favorite draft targets at every position, from the early rounds through the guys I’m looking for late.

Pairing fhe ELITE WR1 ceiling of Amon-Ra St. Brown at 1.08 with two Top 12 RBs feels like CHEATING...
🧵Here’s my Step-by-Step Hero WR Blueprint to DOMINATE your 2026 Fantasy Football Draft from the 1.08 ⬇️
god gave us worse circulation than a small yellow pill provides
big pharma took that as a challenge and created a miracle:
cialis (tadalafil):
- increases nitric oxide mediated vasodilation
- improves nutrient delivery and micro circulation
- improves endothelial function and arterial compliance
- improves heart health and lowers risk of cardiovascular events
- associated with a 44% lower all cause mortality among men taking it
- shown to downregulate aromatase, the enzyme converting testosterone to estrogen
- improves testicular blood flow
- optimizes your hormonal profile by decreasing estrogen and raising free testosterone
- exerts systemic and local anti-inflammatory effects via increased nitric oxide bioavailability
- lasts 36 hours
2.5-5mg daily.
the ideal human existence is permanently on cialis.
not medical advice.
