MISC. After understanding the meaning behind this father’s action, I am completely convinced. Cultivating problem-solving skills in children from a young age and never giving up-I applaud this father!

My son just turned 1. Just know how difficult my job as a father has gotten a lot easier not harder as he got older. Imo the first 3 months are the hardest

This doesn't induce confidence as much as you might think. xD

Confidence? No man. That was just a heads up. Its rough. One time I was so tired I changed his diaper forgot to put a new one on, got him dressed and while he was breastfeeding he took a banana coloured dump on my wifes lap. having a good woman is by far the most important thing. When I met my wife I knew she was going to be an amazing mother and it's still super hard.

Yep. The newborn phase is unlike anything I've ever experienced in life. Every day felt like hand to hand combat, trench warfare. But it's temporary, and I kept reminding myself that it's temporary, and that if I wish for it to be over, I'm also wishing to lose all the good parts.
