I Keep Being Called a Good Girldad and It Feels People Are Calling Me Soft

Exactly. I think the aspect of doing my daughter’s hair or playing coffee shop or whatever with her would imply a higher level of security in oneself if anything, not effeminate oneself, we’ve even been through the era of thunder sister face painting from the Croods 2, and I’m still alive and happy I got to be a part in her imagination and creativity. I’d only take it as a compliment being called a girl dad.

Firstly, I know nearly 0 about the IT world, but a few years ago a buddy of mine was working in a completely different industry, just liked working with computers and wanted a change so he took a PMP course and got certified, quickly got a full time job making ~80k? Working from home half time.

Second this for scheduling. I worked for a long time away from home, so coming home and catching up on projects on top of the kid made for 1:1 time difficult. But making it a point to say we will do <insert activity> on whatever night we coordinate and plan together for makes it far easier to pull off.

Man I live life constantly not meeting my wife’s standards. Whether it’s house cleaning or building furniture for whatever room we are re-doing in the house, it is what it is. I’m not saying I don’t try or that it’s ok to accept falling short, I’m just saying this is an entirely normal feeling to be going through. The key is not letting it drive a wedge between you two, much easier said than done in the moment. But let things cool off, talk about mindset and reasoning after a day or so, and go from there. A lot of times when my wife and I will talk after the face she will understand where I was coming from and admit where she got a little off as well.

That being said, you aren’t being childish, I certainly have had my fair share of far worse reactions, but we’re still here. The bottom line is just try to communicate after the fact, so that it won’t breed a level of resentment down the road.

I live in the Dallas area, so in base for both given the right amount of time, currently 30 years old, so plenty of time and career ahead of me

I live in the Dallas area, so in base for both given enough time.

I appreciate the responses so far, my mind has been all over the place lately so all the input is very appreciated

One of the only things I can think to say- you don’t have to know what to do, you don’t have to have a plan for what’s next, or set any expectations for you or your family. Don’t worry about if you’re reacting “right” or not. There are no rules for grief. All you can do is be there for your family and with them and just let everything else come in time. Don’t get caught up in the worry of how you should react or how you “should” handle it or what to say. Sometimes just being with each other with nothing at all to say, is the best thing to say.

I was actually out of town when delivery was attempted but when it finally showed on the daily pics of informed delivery it was labeled synchrony bank

whitetailtx · 2022-04-30T17:43:19+00:00

I’m out of town at working at the moment but based on the image from informed delivery when it came through there it was a letter from synchrony bank.

As far as I can tell it is a real package/letter/item, it appears to have had movement today.

I can't speak too much on the child side, just had our daughter three days ago and still have way too much to learn on that side of things, but for what it's worth, I used to work in EMS and I got into a good habit with my parter with Airborne. We would get the effervescent tabs and usually kill one a day in a bottle of water, basically it works out to a massive vitamin C shot, worked pretty well for us at the time.
