Married with three children.
First child: very difficult and stressful.
Second child: Easier at first, but then the terrible twos and tyrannical threes struck home a lot harder than the first.
Third child: Very very easy in comparison . But I think it is more because my life is more accommodating of that, I am very comfortable with quick planning, and have much more energy. Also, my wife stays at home now, which makes it much easier for us to have preparations for free time to do stuff.
But yeah, marriage is not a big change. The big change was when kids come along, free time usage changes a lot. It becomes much about going to events where other kids are around. Less about going out all night with drinking, and more about going to the zoo and parks and stuff.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
