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?

As a mom of a 14-month boy, I assure you that caring for a newborn is easy-peasy. Once your baby is mobile and can walk, you need to keep your attention on him all the time. But based on your problem, talk to your wife about your issues. Marriage is not only a give-and-take but it also means sacrifices and compromises. Maybe both of you can have a "me-time" by asking your in-laws to take care the baby or by having a baby-sitter.
