My Daughter Cried The Life Out Of Me Yesterday
I was so drained yesterday and completely tired. But here I am up late again. I know. It's my own fault that I'm tired. Well that's old news. Here's to the headline. My voting power is recharged to 100% everybody!!! Just as my body was getting the life sucked out of it, my VP was making it's way to completion. So here's where it gets fun. I am now about to painstakingly go through all the comments you all have posted in the last 3 or 4 days and do my best to upvote the things y'all have shared. This will probably take me all day to do and it will require more patience as y'all have shown to possess in noteworthy fashion. Not one of you has said "Hey man where's my upvote for that comment I made yesterday?" For that I say thanks. I really appreciate all the advice and positive feedback that I got.To give is to live. It is hard to sacrifice as I was learning firsthand when my daughter was crying non-stop. In that moment I was being taught how to sacrifice even more, especially when I was so tired. I am not perfect at all and even I have to learn this. Finally. Here's the snapshot of the week.
@humanearl - Sir congratulations... It took few days, but you did it well.. You stayed patience to get it 100%... Well thought Sir... Now it's time to make a decent amount of profit per day Sir... God bless the way you think Sir... Humanity is not just in words, humanity always in our actions... You have proven it Sir...

To give is to live, indeed. But even God rested on the seventh day. We all need rest, and we also must prioritize where we do our giving, such as being there for our children when they need us, or need hugs, or need playtime or something else.

For such actions as generosity, kindness, help and answers to all - you are appreciated and respected by so many, including myself.
You share what you have and do not ask for anything in return - your karma is pure and it will give you all your generosity
Thank you for what you're doing!

Yes your VP is now 100% and your readers are standing in queue to receive upvotes one by one. But why not make the comment upvotes little competitive, like good comments get little more and spam comments little less, this way the creativity in commenting can be seen and also it will make a healthy discussion over your blog.
Thank you @humanearl and Have a great day.

Hello Earl. I hope things will get better with your daughter. I remember when my little sister did it and the crying got less and less then stopped. One day you will know that peace. :)
Though I have known you only a short time, you've struck me as a person much like myself in the way that you give. There is god in giving (I accidentally wrote GOD instead of good so I'm leaving it in) There is good in giving, and I also like to give back to those who leave a thoughtful comment.
So I'm also waiting for my "manna" to regenerate. I wrote my last post celebrating 500 followers in our family. In the post, I took a moment to highlight you in a positive way and hopefully it finds your approval. The hope is that it will shine a light in the darkness for others to follow. Be well. :)

How old is your daughter? As a single father of a 23 year old daughter, I both feel your drain and advise you to enjoy every minute of it. Up until my daughter was eight years old, I could do no wrong. She had me on a pedestal. Then at the age of eight, when her natural changes began and she started Junior Highschool, she began to become closer to her mother and pull away from me. This is the nature of psychology. Children at some point begin to relate more with the parent of the same gender, regardless of which is more attentive. I raised her as a single father beginning when she was 1 1/2 years old. Her fulltime home was with her mother and even though we were not in a relationship, we both worked together well as friends to raise her equally. Now that she is grown and the natural evolution if things have drawn us apart, I am proud of my contribution to her growth. I tell you this story because, sometimes people can lose sight of the positives when life wear's you out. There will be that day where you and your daughter do not communicate on a daily basis and time moves more quickly toward the future in reality, than it does in your ponderings. I can tell by your attentive generosity here on SteemIt that you are also a good parent. Parenting is the most noble action our species can strive towards and we can only hope to raise our children to become better than ourselves and hopefully raise them to dig deep into themselves to be empaths, instead of the apathetic, which plagues our species today. Your upvotes are not important, but your interaction is necessary, my friend. Do not run yourself ragged, because your health and daughter are more important. I wish you many nights of restful sleep and that all your days and your daughter's as well, be full of joy, brother.

My girl is almost 10 months now. I really enjoy the time we spend together. The hardest part is that I'm with here for about 6 hours with her and then I spend about 6 hours working on Steemit/creative stuff. All that on top of all my other things I do to improve my health. It's difficult for sure so I have to make some tweak to make sure I'm getting adequate rest. Thanks for your advice.

Ah a really young one. It's getting close to first steps. Yes, the first two years are the hardest. After that they learn to walk, talk and use the bathroom by themselves and it gets a lot easier until High School.

@theguruasia Man I'm trying. It's difficult. I used to just hit upvote, upvote, upvote. Now I'm trying to experiment with it. This is why upvotes on the other posts are delayed.
Actually noticed that my daughter has two new teeth coming in so that's why she was crying all day like that. New teeth make them very fussy.

''Resting is one of those things I really despise but sometimes you need to take a break to become better ~ Charles Fuchs ( @charles-fuchs)''
I believe strongly that this quote applies to you @humanearl in two ways
with respect to your health. I. Know you want to work so hard, but when you rest, you refresh yourself to become better. You refresh your spirit soul and body.
with respect to your upvote. You taking a rest on your upvoting gave your voting power the time to refresh and get back to a better percentage.

Thanks for sharing. I visited family over the holidays and got to spend time with my little 9 mo old nephew and it was so much fun to hang out and be entertained by him. The best part was if he started to cry, off he went to mommy or daddy and they took care of him. So I got to enjoy the fun parts of having a little one around, but didn't have to do any of the work. Thinking forward to having kids of my own I find myself wondering if I'm ready to make those sacrifices of time and energy, even when I'm drained myself. Having kids is a huge commitment. You daughter is blessed to have a father who cares so much about her.
Have a great day!

Good to see that you have recovered your VP, but at the same time make an even distribution and use voting weight so that u can not go below 80% of VP. Even within that you can make your readers and followers happy.
By the way are u in discord and steem chat. Thanks

She actually is growing two new teeth. So she has been fussy.
And yes I will try to figure out how best to handle the voting situation. Also I don't get on steem chat or discord much. It's best to communicate here with me.

Occasionally my son would have fussy days as a baby. It was heartbreaking not being able to sooth him. Then someone told me to run the vacuum cleaner. It calmed him down, but drove us crazy. If we shut it off, he cried again. My husband's solution was to record the vacuum cleaner running, so we could control the volume when we played the tape. If I recall correctly, the reason it works is because it is white noise. I know this sounds counter intuitive, to play noise to sooth a baby, but the womb was a noisy place.
On days that I was tired, I napped when he napped!
I hope everyone in your family gets some rest and feels better soon.

That's interesting how the vacuum cleaner worked to calm him. My daughter gets jumpy when it comes one. But something I've been doing to calm here since she was born is to let the water run from the sink and rock her. It's something about the sound of the water that makes here so relaxed. The white noise works for sure.
But also found out she has two new teeth coming out. So this explains her being fussy. Thanks so much for understanding and giving me an example of what worked for yall.
