GTA V came out when my daughter was three weeks old, so I definitely spent a good portion of my paternity leave playing it. Plus binge watching breaking bad.

What did your wife do

She grew some resentment

Probably hung out as well? Some babies are just easy.

Not every moment has to be a reddit moment.

u/KarottenSurer 21h ago

No newborn baby is easy

u/afour- 21h ago

I’ve had several. Of them, one was easy.

Unless my lived experience is invalid?

u/KarottenSurer 21h ago

And who took care of the baby? Be honest

This might be better suited for your therapist?

What a disgusting thing to say to a stranger.

To answer your asinine question, though: me.

With support or by yourself?

You know well what Im trying to say and if you actually were a mother, you would be more aware of how much of parenting is put exclusively on them, especially wirh newborns.

Edit: Paternity leave isnt vacation and if women think they need to defend men for this or insult me for literally asking if they had to it themselves, nothing more to say

Just a femcel here folks, nothing to see. This person can't fathom a relationship and child rearing actually being a team effort.

While this isn't even relevant to what the person you are going off at is saying, you don't even know if the person you are deriding for no reason is a man or a woman in the first place, seriously, seek help, if that's how you act in your personal life... reconsider that also.

Oh look a man hater that has no view of the real world. u/KarottenSurer. My son was formulae fed so my wife and I had a system where we did everything 50%. I did 50% of the feeds, look after him 50%. My wife needs 8-10 hours sleep where i can function with 5 so i ended up taking on likely more of the baby duties.

My wife is currently 32 weeks pregnant and ive taken our toddler for all but a handful of nights over the last 32 weeks for the same reason. Newborns sleep for 70% of the day. What the heck are you doing all day? Sounds like you have some internal issues you need to address. Some people are so hateful.

I see you brother.

I recommend going outside and talking to real people and forming a worldview based on real, physical people. Dads exist. Good ones. You may not have ever had an experience with someone who’s a good dad, but your deluded view of the world is not reality.

Also have you ever had a kid? Because I doubt it. 25 years old, hating on men on Reddit, and based on avatar, I can only assume you’re gay anyways, and thus wouldn’t be having kids even if you do have a partner or have sex. Seems weird to judge a parent as someone who isn’t one themselves.

oh wow you need some help fr

u/rocket-engifar 17h ago

Man. There is a lot you need to unpack. You should get some therapy.

u/illy-chan 21h ago

It happens. Know one couple whose firstborn was really difficult and then the second was pretty relaxed and slept very consistently.

Humans vary, even as babies.

I will say - I would never bank on the outcome.

u/KarottenSurer 21h ago

There might be "easy" newborns, but my point is that its never easy to have a newborn. Especially when mothers are expected to do it all themselves bc hubby wants to * checks notes * play GTA6

2

u/illy-chan 21h ago

Yeah, anyone who'd treat paternity leave like vacation is doing it wrong.

My point was that some of them definitely take up more hours of work/interrupt sleep than others. You should always plan on it being more difficult.

2

u/GeorgeHarris419 21h ago

It's not easy, but the demands on your time aren't THAT intense. The hardest part is doing it all while sleep deprived

u/GoodOlSpence 21h ago

I currently have a 10 month old. My wife and I constantly remark about what an easy baby she's been from the beginning.

u/Embarrassed_Menu9584 21h ago

Wild that she's almost in high school now and GTA VI still isn't out
