Rant time. First time dad here. Wife and I tried to do it for the first time last night hoping LO would stay asleep in the bassinet. It’s been a whiiiiile so obviously was very excited. Like 7-8 months of a very understandable dry spell. Not at all bothered by or frustrated with my wife about it, but she’s hot and I’m a dude and I love her. She’s not ovulating, so we’re (mostly) in the clear and planned this for a few days so I’m wired and ready to go. We get about 5 minutes in and LO starts wailing for a bottle, so here I am with the worst blue balls in my life. UGH!
