You know, there are two people who they came together like, who, you know, their parents and the parents, like they're a generation where like they didn't have, they had so little modeling of like, not only did they not have modeling, they didn't have like the consciousness that we have now around, you know, relationship dynamics, like listening and I'm saying, I'm sorry.
You know, like these things didn't exist. You know, they just, they like, it's amazing that they stayed together long enough to have me and that they were like, yeah, and also let's keep doing that. Like, I don't, you know, they don't have a good answer for it. They, yeah.
Yeah, well, actually, so this is, I think, at least for boys, I don't know. I know that it's not just me. I mean, I actually was... Because I was starved for many kinds of intimacy, the one kind that I understood, didn't understand it, was... sexual and romantic intimacy.
So, I mean, I think as soon as those, I was gonna try to think of a word other than juices, but you know, those chemicals were flowing. That's when I just craved that, I mean, you know, and again, show me a teenager who doesn't really, I mean, I think it's of course quite typical, but I think particularly for people who grow up in homes where there isn't a lot of intimacy, I think what they crave
is that you know you crave what you see on the in the notebook or whatever we didn't have that demo you the titanic you know i'm not a romantic movie or romantic comedy person at all but but see but the titanic or no it's a titanic isn't it it's not the titanic so titanic um like i loved and i didn't see it a bunch of everybody did but i just thought like Good Lord, I wanted that.
Love comes in so many forms. So many forms. And it's actually tragic for us all that we have conflated it so completely with just sex. But, you know, I mean, from a very young age, that's what I wanted.
The juices. The juices. Let me just go ahead and reach over here for my tea and bring it on the long trip around.
This is I'm going to go right there. I want that thing.
Yeah, well, it would be just the it would be the. the vibe the the there's the saint calling it coldness i feels a bit unforgiving to my parents it's it's not because it that sounds like there's um intent behind it you know and awareness but it's just uh just uh there wasn't a lot of life at home there wasn't a lot of life
I mean, yeah, there's, of course, plenty of nuance in there. But the basic principle you're pointing to is what I was saying. Like, that's all it is. It's like you're constantly, as a parent, you're constantly being brought in touch with, oh... Yeah, I didn't have that. I mean, you know, I've said this elsewhere a few times.
But the first time that I needed that I felt that I needed to say I'm sorry to my now four and a half year old, I think he was three, maybe freshly three. It was a minor moment. He would not get in the car seat, as any parent knows. Anybody who hasn't had kids is like, oh, shut up about the fucking car seats. Yeah. Is it really? Yeah. It's like, yeah, it can be hard.
It's really. And by the way, it's reasonable for them to not want to get in a car seat. They're strapped in. And if they think it's going to be two hours, to them, that's a lifetime. That is a lifetime. You see how many phases a kid, a three-year-old goes through in two hours. You want them to sit strapped in the entire time.
I mean, so I'm with three-year-olds on this, but I had to get him in and I, and I started to get impatient, you know, go figure. And, um, but the key thing to remember were for me, like fatherhood, parenthood until about two and a half, it was like, In terms of losing my patience, it didn't happen. It didn't happen. I'll lose patience with my wife. Hi, baby. Sorry. Love you. Love you so much.
But with a child that small, I mean, they're just like, what are you gonna do? So I noticed that I was losing my patience in a way that was like, I was speaking to him in a way that I'd never spoken to before, which is kind of short, you know? Like a little dickish, you know?
Dick of the century, okay? He was being crazy.
You're the adult. Yeah. So I was starting to take it as though he's not three. And that's what we all do as parents. Eventually, you lose perspective and you're treating them like somebody who's much older. And that's not fair. That's not fair to them at all. So I was being really impatient with him. getting him into the car seat.
At this point, I don't remember what, I think I definitely wasn't being like, you know, I wasn't doing that, that's a bit rough, but I was speaking in a way that was just, you know.
And then I think I realized that as I was doing it, because it was a new thing. And I just said, I'm sorry. I'm being really impatient with you, aren't I? And then he just went, yeah. And it immediately broke. And I said, you're right. I don't like the way I was speaking to you.
Yeah, and I was like, would you still gotta get in the fucking car seat? No, no, no.
No, it was really, it was like he relaxed.
