[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 10 points 3 years ago (2 children) had to cancel camping trip since Im still crook. Kiddo has hit 4 months so he's not sleeping (plus he is sick too). And when he WILL sleep its only for the MRS so she's stuck doing almost all the night stuff. All is not well in the break household. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] stardustingss@aussie.zone 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) We must have the same thing, I had to cancel my weekend me time plans too.

Yeah fun and games! And every time you think your coming out the other side it comes back and smacks you in the face again. Yeah we'll get there. Gonna start transitioning to formula so at least I can do a bit more of the heavy lifting. permalink fedilink source parent [–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Several dads I know have all spoken of the difficulty of getting their young child to feel as comfortable and relaxed around them as the child's mother. Only one couple I know has the kid prefer to sleep in his dad's arms and that's because his mum is constantly stressed out when feeding him (he has some digestive issues and she has a bunch of health issues himself. Never breastfed kiddo) I dunno if it's just thousands of years of social conditioning and a bit of biology that kids gravitate towards their mum but I can fully appreciate how frustrating it can be for everyone in this modern era. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 points 3 years ago Personally I just feel guilty I cant do more. I get he needs her and its evolutionary and stuff. But man, im looking forward to when he is a bit older and I can do more for him. permalink fedilink source parent
