New Daddy's Woes!

My wife just gave birth one month ago and I feel like I don't have a life anymore! I want my guys' night out and soccer time with my buddies. Everything is about the baby now. Is this it for me? How do I tell my wife I need some me time without upsetting her?

I've gave up on all my "freedom" ever since I've committed to my partner. It's really prioritising.

You have to b around helping your wife with the baby. That is how the bond will get stronger

Focus to take care your wife and your son first. Then you will have your me time.

It happens, but do ur responsibility first towards ur baby and live ur life after that

Tell your wife that you want sometimes having fun your buddies and maybe after she recover from birth

All the things you like to do are done. Everything is for the baby now.

buddies night out, soccer games all will happens in the dream while you sleeping 😂

Just bear with it for the first few mo. Then talk to her that you need some me-time too

That is very selfish to think of that way. You gave her 9 months of pain, and she tried her best to endure and all you can think of is "me time" whilst your wife did not even catch a break because she's taking care of YOUR baby. Have some sense for a moment and think. Your wife will be so upset when you get a me time and she doesn't. Try to talk with your in-laws or parents if they are willing to take care of your baby, so you AND your wife can have a breath to take.

It's okay to have some fun. But don't forget you're a father now.
