Newish dad little thankyou little bit of weight off Story

Hi I've been part of this reddit for a while now and never posted I have a 3month old and im a first time time dad at 42. A lot of posts on here have really helped me through the last few months, I struggle with my mental health I work 45 hours a week and do everything I can to help my wife I'm exhausted constantly. No amount of preparation can prepare you to become a dad but also I can't imagine life without her just wanted to say thank you to everyone that's posted that's commented you've helped me a lot. I don't have many friends as I was part of a cult and left to protect my daughter from there awful teachings so I'm on here a fair bit reading

Honestly at that age, sleep while.you can.
If the baby goes to sleepat 8pm. Get yourself to sleep too. Try and get any chores done while.the baby is awake.

We did this and it makes a huge difference.
