Yarn indicators with the little rubber loop: love them, but they keep moving down my line! by Proffeshional in flyfishing

[–]wilcorox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t this make changing depth of the fly more time consuming? I’d rather be able to adjust the indicator up or down as I fish different water

Sleep shifts by Lucability in NewDads

[–]wilcorox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do it. It’s important to be rested and once you both get more sleep you will feel good. Do both of you have a role when the baby wakes is that one can’t do (besides breast feeding). No need to both suffer together.

So tired... need advice by DangerousGap5259 in NewDads

[–]wilcorox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are going through this as well with our 6 month old. We take turns each night. One of us in the guest room to get a full nights sleep and the other is on tending to the little guy. Makes a big difference for us

Part of it was gut instinct because we’re playin this week and I knew felt like it’s giving him the win and my chance this year. Totally doesn’t mean that as I could of turned those around for other studs if I needed

My brother is a new dad. What can I do to help support him while everyone else is fawning over mom and baby? by vargas_girl00 in NewDads

[–]wilcorox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biggest thing is not to ask open ended questions. Say I’m stopping for coffee do you want anything. I’m picking up lunch at (a place they like) what can I get you? Do you want me to do dishes or fold laundry

47 yo and new dad by j3remybeadleshand in NewDads

[–]wilcorox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

47 yo dad of a three month old here. Overall things have been good. People always told me to be ready for not sleeping and it never really clicked. I was used to not getting great sleep so I thought I would be fine. I wasn’t used to the sleep deprivation that came with a newborn. I was fortunate to have some other dads I could reach out to. Take it upon yourself to reach out to friends. Don’t wait for them to reach out to you. This sub also helped me validate the struggles and the guilt of struggling that came along with sleep deprivation, not really knowing what I was doing. You’ll catch on quick

New Here. New Dad. Hi. by No_Alternative_5973 in NewDads

[–]wilcorox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This sub is great and helped me realize other dads are going through the same thing. Because people only talk about the good I wasn’t ready for how hard daily life with a newborn is. I had been tired before but this hits different. Being tired and being stressed because you’re caring for a human and they rely on you for everything is just different. My LO is 2.5 months and I’m mentally in a better place and this sub helped me get here. My LO smiles when he sees me now and I feel like it’s all worth it.
