Just chiming in real quick, don’t have much time to write, i’m a father of 2.

It gets better my dear stranger. It actualy gets only better and better, it still amazes me.

3 weeks is just really the hardest part. But you have dedication (kudos on the breakfasts in bed) and you are not a violent person (how many times I have wanted to rip their head off lol) so you are already a great parent.

Parenting is just gross shit and hard work, but that’s what we do, so let’s do it really well. We owe it to ourselves. Keep on keeping on

So much good advice here. I came to say things that felt important and I actualy just read through the comments and learned.

I’d add just one important thing: it is a constant struggle, but it is should not be a fight between partners. It is so easy to just blame the special other and pick a fight, but it is wrong, plain wrong, not only morally wrong. No matter the composition of the family, even without kids, taking care is a job that we collectively give too little credit to, yet it is THE most necessary, in the many forms caring can take.

You writing this post is already a lot of care, am I right? Keep this up <3
