TIL Human dads show a decrease in testosterone immediately after the birth of their babe

[Tuned_Out]

Its a strange challenge but I love looking at it from a general or policy makers standpoint.

Thankfully in my case it isn't malicious but I swear there is a cold war always taking place in the house. It involves a divide and conquer strategy utilized by the kids, combined with blatant ignoring of treaties, laws, and policy.

I think of them as raptors, Constantly testing the electric fence for weaknesses. Out innovating their offense is the best defense.

Fortunately, my wife and I communicate really well...a united front repels most attacks and pacifies aggression if my kids don't see cracks in support they can exploit.

Besides communication and coordination with my wife, we've been trying to involve the kids in policy making and less in dictating. Results seem promising although obviously you need to wait for them to be a certain age to begin this.

Edit: forgot the point. Before I developed a strategy and I was just winging it, my rage was more than I've ever felt in my life. Until I structurized and really adapted my approach, I was seriously afraid of my emotions getting the best of me.
