Welcome to fatherhood ... Lol it'll get betterAnyone got some newborn advice?
She sleeps great during the day, but come nighttime and she won’t stay sleeping for more than an hour max, pick her up and let her lay on me and she knocks right back out…. And then as soon as I try to lay her in the crib again it’s back to crying.
Right now, my significant other and I are taking shifts as far as staying up with her…thought I had her calmed down in her crib where I could catch an hour and a half nap or so, and then as soon as I lay down she starts crying again.
I know after 3 months they sleep a little better, is this just my life for the next 3 months? Lol
Do y’all think marriage or parenting is harder?
My kids are 11 and 7. Marriage is way harder. I’d have said parenting when they were babies
I get that for sure. Part of me feels that isn’t ideal for the long run (putting your own **** and friendships last) but sometimes we just gotta do what we gotta do to make things work for the short term.It honestly depends on the day, but maintaining a healthy balance is equally important. If I take my attention away from one because everything seems to be fine, the universe has a funny way of humbling me. The result has been putting both above all else and placing friendships WAY at the bottom.
No doubt. My thing with the kids is that they are only young and impressionable for a relatively short amount of time before they think they know everything. There’s only so long that you’re their hero and the most important person in their lives. I’ve never heard any responsible parent say they regret spending so much time with their kids and wish they had focused more on their job, friends, hobbies, etc. Quite the opposite, in fact. Thankfully my wife and I are on the same page and it doesn't cause any strife.I get that for sure.

I get that… there’s a lot of info out there suggesting parents put themselves and their relationship ahead of the children… which I agree with to a certain extent. I guess it’s more complicated than that. I’m not sure if you’re on that page or not. At the end of the day the parents need to be healthy, happy, united, strong, etc in order to lead, provide, influence, and love their kids in the best way. I’ve seen parents who always put their kids over all their needs, it’s very selfless, but their health, happiness, and marriage fall apartNo doubt.

I have been successful using the phrase "bathroom time is private time." Originally was used to keep them from walking into the bathroom together while one had to use it and the other talking. Came in maf clutch when the gang wants to join me in the bathroom and talk about nothing.Or ****ting in private

My lil one was 4 months. She cried which was expected but she did good. My fiancé couldn’t be in the room cause she didn’t wanna see her in pain.At what age did you guys get your girls ears pierced?
my little one 8 months today but I’m still indifferent cause I don’t want her in pain.
my girls were young...infants stillAt what age did you guys get your girls ears pierced?

3 or 4 months I can’t remember exactly. Our thinking was to get it done before she is grabbing her ears and messing with them. She screamed when they did it but after that they didn’t seem to bother her at all.At what age did you guys get your girls ears pierced?
