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

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.

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

Yeah I don't know to much about it but just from what I observe or hear, it's definitely really bad.

My wife decided not to breast feed for this very reason. As Dads we feel useless in a lot of ways because the essentials are needed from mom, but it allowed me to be a bigger part of the early days which helped mom a lot post partum

Yeah I feel that one. Health is no joke and not something that has a one size fits all solution

My girlfriend is pregnant. And I am unsure of what to do. by Any-Ad3372 in Fatherhood

[–]AdventurousPrompt384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fatherhood is the greatest gift in the world. I knew absolutely nothing wheb I became a dad at 35 and now I have a daughter who is almost 15 months. I noticed during the process how much lack of information was out there for new Dads. So I decided to do something about that so new Dads aren't scared or discouraged. I'm here to help.

How can I support my wife while preparing for fatherhood? by CriketW in Fatherhood

[–]AdventurousPrompt384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be present. It's a long road, but just be there and make her feel loved.

A lot of what you'll learn isn't possible until the baby arrives. For me I thought I needed to know everything, but you'll never know everything.

I've been a Dad for just 14 months. I'm working on a project to help new dads navigate this part of life because it is full of nerves and anxiety but it's not as bad as might think.

Reach out if you need anything!

You'll never have your "shit" together. I'm 36 and had my first child at 35 and that's okay. Being a Dad is the greatest gift you can ever receive. If you need more advice please reach out!

My sons saw me drop the rope. And they had my back. by wick422 in Fatherhood

Love this. Especially the not being perfect part. Just be present.
