  • I replied elsewhere, but I’m gonna stick it here as well for visibility:

    NOAA Weather Radios go off like alarm clocks when warnings are issued. Loud as hell. We hear ours 1 floor away through closed doors with a fan and a white noise machine. This camp absolutely should have had not 1 but 2 of these in separate locations.

    I’m the emergency manager of a camp. We have redundant alert and notification systems, a full All Hazards emergency plan and drill routinely for sheltering and evacuation.

    No less should have been done for these kids. This is 100% on the hands of the leadership of the camp. Full stop.

  • Honestly, I read it like OP wanted pity points.

    I’m typing this as my 15 month old is falling asleep in my arms for the ‘night’ (she’ll wake up in 3 hours for the midnight snack).

    OP, get yourself some counseling. If you didn’t feel like you wanted kids, you should have been up front with your wife. That child is now brought into the world and you need to nut up and put your wants and desires on the back burner.

    Like others have said better than me, get your village helping you. The first several months are rough, and your wife and child need support, and so do you. Then, when things ease (and they will), maybe you can get out for an afternoon. But don’t whine about how your wife isn’t doing anything.
