New Daddy's Woes!

You have to sacrifice some of your happy times. I play semi-pro American Football but when I my child was born, I have to be on hiatus to help my wife. But as the kid grows older, I'm having my happy times back. I'm now getting ready for the next season and I'm shaping up. I run, I box, I play basketball and hit the gym to keep myself fit again to bang bodies in the league! Just be patient my friend. That too shall pass.

If you are just asking for 1 night out and there are other family members around and willing to help, discuss with your wife and also offer to give her time off to rest or when she want to meet with her girl friends. No doubt it’s overwhelming for all if there are no help, even more if you are leaving her with a crying baby often. But I believe your friends will be understanding and work out a day or time to meet.

if u miss your single life, what r the purpose of build a family at first? this is the perks of being married. either u want it or not. this is wat we call sacrifies bro. ur wife do more than that.. her physical having changes n more. the baby is just a months and u act like this.. huhuhuhu... dont u think she also need her girls day out??😂😂

well i will try to talk to hee nicely . If not i will try to avoid such problem as my wife just give birth and she might feel weak at this moment and the time needed by ber side is more important than those me time. What's more growing up stage being a dad is more about wife and kids instead of me time. If not wait a few more months when everything is stable talk to wife nicely and have some me time

hang out with friends is totally good...but in your case? seriously?it can wait your soccer games chatting with your friends...it can wait right now enjoy being a father to ur newborn baby have time to your wife who just gave birth..and if you show more affection and time..one day your wife will tell you "hon have some time with your friends go out..im okay here"goodluck on your journey...

Its only been 1 month. I play football on a regular basis with my neighbours and friends. After the birth of my son, I put it on hold for half a year. Everybody in the family is tired and bored after taking care of a newborn. What about your wife? Every now and then, on game night, when my wife needs me, I screw my game and accompany them. Think about your priorities.

It's a cliché, but with a new life comes new responsibilities. Your wife has already (and will continue for some time) given up a massive part of her life to bring your little one into the world. I'd suggest having a chat with her and maybe picking a night a month with the boys - and allowing her the same privilege with the girls, but your life will be (and should be) very different now

Hey daddy! Chill out... You deserve and need it. It's all understandable. After all we have different threshold which should not be compared. I suggest to talk to your wife. Tell her how you feel. Or try to get an alternative for someone to care for baby whilst you both have your personal self care. This is not a marathon to see who finish first. It's a journey and a never ending one.

you're not the only one facing huge adjustment. your wife is also human like you, she also want to have her own time and all. but she sacrifices her own 'me-time', for the baby. why can't you do the same? is your soccer and your friends more impt thn your baby? really? this is responsibility. the baby is not only hers. please think for her when you think of things like this.

Seriously... I would not even try to avoid "responsibility". At this period of time, Wife really needs the attention and care becos everything has changed for her. Having that time out alone may not be an option to escape but u might want to start by going out together without the baby given that your parents can help babysit for a good few hours
