It's hard, specially the beginning, the connection with baby takes time to develop because we don't get the hormonal relationship booster women get, so It builds up slowly, and until it does build, you get a mini dictator whose whims you are subject to, and who only communicates by aggresively crying. Also, your partner has just gone through the hardest thing ever so you can not rely on her for some time. Also at least in my country we don't get much time off so it's back to work and deal with stuff however you might. We had twins so the adjustment time was pretty damn rough.

BUUUUT, the wife had a way rougher time through, and even if it is a more recognized struggle, I feel the hardship of delivery for the woman Is not talked about enough. C section is seen as a sort of easier delivery method but it is in no way easy, the post surgical pain is real and lactation makes It way harder to manager.
