Advice for dads?

Dads are supposed to help contribute for the family, paying for all expenses. But now the wife also contributes. But what if the dad can't earn enough. Feel stress. Need more money. End up working until die, never spend time with the newborn, because busy working. Feel easier to just get an accident. At least family will get life insurance payout

Knowing that you are doing your best and spend time with the newborn when u arrived home. Make a routine to be sleeping or holding the baby before you sleep and after waking up. Look at the baby and think you are working hard for this baby and get energised and motivated. Not only money can support wife. Helping her with chores and emotional support is also good. Be good to wife. Don’t bring back work stress to home. Wish you have a beautiful family.

It could even be 15 min a day or whatever timing depending on what you both agree to

Hugs mum! Maybe you can sit down with hubby and talk things out. Talk about goals and ways how to achieve with both of you on it. Carefully plan your prioroties and maybe lifestyle check? I wish all the best for your family.
