Diary of a Work-from-home Dad no. 06: “Game(ove)r Dad” (Part 1/2) Played #Warframe in November 2017 before #MHWorld came out but fell in love with everything about it. And if you ever invited me to join your game, I wasn’t being antisocial. I simply couldn’t commit. I’d log out of my solo missions at random when it’s diaper changing time or formula mixing when the wife rests. #DOAWFHD

Diary of a Work-from-home Dad no. 06: “Game(over)r Dad” (Part 2/2) So yes. This is also why I don’t play multiplayer on #MonsterHunter: #World. Soo many close calls but this one sealed the deal. It sucks because some things I will never be able to obtain the award for (like receiving over 50 guild cards) to complete my achievement. Quests like Kulve Taroth siege is such a drag and pointless to do alone, while #Behemoth is the one monster to this day I could never clear solo. But now I don’t think I have even that much time to play #MHWorld #Iceborne 😅 #DOAWFHD

Diary of a Work-from-home Dad no. 07: “Lygo” I’ve always wanted to tell this story earlier but somehow needed to go through the others before I arrive to this. As I was working on this page I realized it’s the Halloween month. How coincidentally fitting 🎃 To give context: at that age, Zayra and I always play sounds animals make; with help from educational books to YouTube children songs. So she describes by making the sound of what she sees if she doesn’t know the name. So for her to do an impression of Linda Blair… #DOAWFHD

Diary of a Work-from-home Dad no. 09: “Parenting Parallel” Sorry guys, I’m not preaching. It’s just a legit reflection I had when I was dealing with my screaming toddler to help me see things above the deafening wave. “If Allah knows [any] good in your hearts, He will give you [something] better than what was taken from you.” (excerpt from Al-Anfal: 70) #DOAWFHD

Diary of a Work-from-home Dad no. 11: “Fight Club” For a first time father without any siblings growing up, I did my homework reading help materials to prepare myself into parenthood. Turns out none of them ever mentioned about the cuts and bruises that would entail. And I thought I had graduated to a ninja after Zayra. But every child is different. Dalya totally brought a different game 😂 If my firstborn is a bludgeon, the second one is a cutter. #DOAWFHD

Diary of a Work-from-home Dad no. 13: “COPING-20 Syndrome” So this page was supposed to be done in conjunction with the Prader-Willi Syndrome awareness month which was in May. I missed it due to the circumstances in these panels. I thought being in lockdown would be a cinch for shut-ins like us but boy even we are feeling the cabin fever. An almost outdated entry as this was written a few months ago but didn’t have time to work on it on top of having to readjust halfway through upon the discovery of Sara’s condition. And now we are almost in the clear of COVID-19! A huge relief, but with extreme caution. Doing the best we can with what we have in the time that’s given to us, as always. Yeah contol 🍆😅 on panel 2. Typo sucks. Too late to change now, grow up! Did I say grow? Whoops! #DOAWFHD #PraderWilliSyndrome #PWS #COVID19 #Coronavirus
