Lost my job as a lead at Costco because of false theft accusations, they proceeded to let me because I wouldn't throw my coworkers under the bus. Started working two jobs and got really fatigued, while dealing with the doctors telling us my wife had a tumor in her ovary and we may never have kids.
I had hit a breaking point and yelled out that I'm tired of living and I'm a failure, and kept saying I wanted to end it. My wife counseled me and said I need to find a career that made me happy. Decided to pursue my culinary degree I put off for so long.
Its been a year since I've started my culinary degree, I had the opportunity to work Super Bowl 50 as a chef and Pebble Beach Pro Am as a chef as well. Prior to this my wife had the tumor taken out and we got pregnant within the second month post surgery. My new drive in life is being the best dad for my baby boy.

Always hold on to the silver lining.

As a Chef at a Michelin Star restaurant, I applaud you for doing what you want, because it makes you happy. Just make sure
foodsexdrums
You spend as much time with your family as possible, and don't ever let the little things get you down. Kick ass and do what makes YOU happy
JPElneko
Thank you chef
MissyESmallchange
Well done! Make the best of life, congrats on the little one. What a blessing
myhappyanonplace
I'm glad you overcame those challenges. Congrats on the baby! May he be healthy and happy =)

I think worse than sadness and copping out to your problems isn't as crippling as realizing you're never actually happy. Enjoy the family

My dad committed suicide when I was 9, I can tell you that your wife will never forgive you.
ICouldUseANap
I am sorry you lost your dad. Your message here, however painful, is very very strong. Thanks for sharing it.
myhappyanonplace
Sorry for your loss

When I'm suicidal I can convince myself that my kids would be better off if I was dead. Thanks for reminding me it's not true.
tricksypixie
Both my grandpas killed themselves when I was a kid. My parents have never been the same. I assure you, no one is better off after a suicide

Hang in there, Chef. We're counting on you not to drop the eggs. Or burn the scallops.

Sometimes we go through tough shit in our lives and sometimes it's damn hard to man up. Congrats brother. You are lucky because of her!

thekidwrites
Struggling with mental health issues and now you want to become a chef? You'll fit right in!
JPElneko
Its ironic how true this is. I'm pretty normal compared to the druggies and basket cases I've met. We had a girl kicked out of pebble 1/2
JPElneko
2/2 beach pro am because she was getting yelled at by the sous for being slow, so she said "at least I can have kids one day unlike you"

Congrats on the sex... And food

'We' got pregnant. Mate. You're not pregnant. 12 pounds of baby asshole isn't going to tear out of your genitals. Come on, now.
LukeIsSkywalking
Haven't you seen all the effort this guy went to towards raising a family? Give the guy some slack.
JPElneko
Absolutely right, my wife reminds me every day when I say it lol.
UltraVioletFlamingo
The guy is pretty involved too if they say it like that. It's not just the woman's baby...
Cowmatt
Geez let the guy have his moment.
westicles01
How about this: fuck you. Its an accepted societal norm to use we. Stop being that asshole. Most women it seems appreciate the sentiment.
HereComesAutism
Here's one woman who doesn't. If and when I get knocked up "I" am pregnant not "we".
Mtumbe
Then go ahead and do what works for you, and let these guys do what works for them.
Mypaycheckisshort
Yeah, then wait to pass judgement.
ColinSS
My contribution to 'our' pregnancies was about 3 minutes each
Krylo
Jesus, man. Work on your stamina. At the very least I hope your foreplay game is on point if you're only lasting 3 minutes in.
ColinSS
After 11 months without success, it got a bit perfunctory.
ICouldUseANap
Are you refering to baby making sex?? It's the worst!!
ColinSS
Yeah, both our little miracles took a lot of effort but I'm always grateful it happened naturally for us.
