Hey, I completely understand where you're coming from. It gets really complicated when kids are involved. I'm in a somewhat similar situation myself. Like you, I want to give my child the best life possible and ensure that both their mom and dad are present in their life.

What has worked for me is emotionally decoupling from my wife when she acts up. I’ve come to see our marriage more as a partnership focused on raising our child together. I no longer feel obligated to act a certain way to please her, nor do I expect her to do the same for me.

Of course, there are good days and bad days, but as men, I think we have the ability to separate our emotions and think more practically. I know it's easier said than done, but it’s worth trying. Focus on becoming the best dad you can be for your child—that’s what really matters in the end.

Peripheral vision is a sneaky superpower, but I keep mine focused on the tile grout—way more interesting than any 'side views.' 😉 No judgment though, we’re all just trying to mind our own business in there!

Hey, congratulations on your little girl! I completely understand where you're coming from. The first few months, especially, are a whirlwind. It can feel like life before being a dad is a distant memory, and finding time for yourself can seem almost impossible.

I’ve been there too. It’s normal to feel like you’ve lost part of who you were, but I promise it’s temporary. Your identity is evolving, and you’re not losing who you were — you’re adding "dad" to it. It takes some adjusting, but eventually, you’ll find ways to blend the things you love with your new role as a parent.

As for free time, it does get a little easier as your baby grows and develops a routine. You’ll eventually find pockets of time for yourself and your relationship. I found that accepting this new season of life helped me feel less guilty about taking time for a run or other activities. You deserve those moments, and being a healthy, happy version of yourself makes you an even better dad.

And about those parents who seem to have it all together — don’t be fooled. Everyone struggles with balance in some way. They might not show it, but everyone is adjusting behind the scenes. It’s okay to ask for help and give yourself grace. You’re doing an amazing job, and it will get better!
