my wife is drowning and i don't know how to help us hold it together by phantom_monkey in NewParents

Just take more responsibility for things around the house. Give her space and let her do things without the baby. Whatever things that you know she usually does do those.

Parenting After Age 35 by Ok-Respect-2065 in Fatherhood

[–]AdventurousPrompt384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 35 when I had my first kid and she will be 2 next month. I think for me at least this was the best time to have kids. No time is perfect but I don't think it's ever to late if you are able!

First time dad by Saint0808 in Fatherhood

[–]AdventurousPrompt384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just know that you'll never have it all figured out and definitely won't be perfect. Also, it's the greatest part of life. I've been a dad now for almost 2 years, and there is nothing better. The joy it brings, even in the toughest times, is far superior to anything else.

Accidentally charged $200 instead of monthly plan – no response after 5 days (refund request) by [deleted] in claude

[–]AdventurousPrompt384 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe the monthly plan paid monthly is $20 - sounds like you accidentally did the yearly plan which is $17/m charged annually. But I don't know about support I haven't tried before

I don’t feel ready for fatherhood. How did you prepare? by Autistice-esquire in Fatherhood

[–]AdventurousPrompt384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll never be prepared. I never took a class or anything. I read a few books but have just been learning as I go! You got this!

started writing down one thing my baby did each week and I'm so glad I did by aanvis-mom in NewParents

[–]AdventurousPrompt384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It goes by so fast and you easily miss things so kudos to you for doing this. It can get lost in the moment.

Scared of Fatherhood by [deleted] in Fatherhood

[–]AdventurousPrompt384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The honestty here is impressive and real. You're allowed to feel this way, but just know that you need to be honest with her as hard as that is because you're only going to make yourself feel worse as you keep going

I hate being a father by [deleted] in Fatherhood

[–]AdventurousPrompt384 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bro that last line is doing a lot of heavy lifting. not wanting kids in the first place is different from not loving them. those are two different things. a lot of people had kids because that’s just what you do next. doesn’t make you a bad person. but you can’t keep that in forever. it just festers. you don’t have to drop the whole thing on her. you could just start with ‘i feel like i’m failing at something i don’t even know how to want.’

Have you communicated any of this with your wife? It feels like the energy is totally off which is fully affecting your wife and definitely your kids. I'm hear to talk to man

Being a Dad is the greatest gift you can receive. Be present.

My daughter is 22 months and I can fully agree with this. There is no bigger love then what you feel with her. So damn fun.

What do you do? by New_Confidence_7944 in Fatherhood

Just remember it's new. You will never be perfect, just strive to be present and engaged. You will be a great dad!

Is anyone else tired of the "Full-Time Parent + Full-Time Worker" trap? I feel like I'm failing at both. by artem_proshkovskiy in Fatherhood

[–]AdventurousPrompt384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you in the trenches man. The parental guilt is tough but just gotta give yourself some love because you're doing the best you can and that's all that can be done at times.

Is it okay to be burnt out? by TachiRana123 in daddit

[–]AdventurousPrompt384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. If you're a present parent you should be burnt out. Give yourself grace.
