  This might just be my situation or my interpretation, but I found it hard to not be 50%+ of the parenting percentage of Absolute Love From My Child over the first year or so, As best as I could want or try It's obviously The Mother who takes the greater percentage. My shit male ego needed to adjust to that.

  I felt I had a right to more of my child's focus, but that only comes in time. Sometimes it can feel hard to not be absolutely central to something you've put so much love in to, and if you're not a shit person, you will not believe the wave of absolute love that will swell across you when you have your kid.

  I envy your journey. I wish I could take it again, as far too late as it is now for me.

  Also, again, sleep now.

  • Thanks Nairn. My wife is amazing so I'm not surprised the baby will crave her more than me. Give it a few years and we'll ride bikes together me and him.pseud
