You are not a bad guy. It takes time for a father to adapt/bond to a baby…much longer than the mother. Give yourself credit for each patient moment or new task that you have with your baby. I guarentee each week and each month will get better. You’ll get more experience and the baby will be able to communicate with you. I have gone/going through the same thing with an unplanned baby. Almost six months and things aren’t perfect but they are much, much better. Hang in there.
Can any one help me my fiancee and i had a baby boy two months ago and although i love him i often feel anger towards him sometimes and i’d never hurt him but i feel i could when i get like that its usually if he’s been crying for me for a length of time and my fiancee takes him and he stops or something. Am I a bad dad or do other people feel like that too? If i’m just a bad guy i’ll be leaving because i don’t want him growing up with a dad like that.
The fact is that different falmeiis exist.We need to teach our children that is okay that there are many different falmeiis and no one family is better than another. So many kids are taught from such an earlier age to judge. I think books like this one do a good job of teaching that not everyone has to be part of a cookie cutter life. If everyone would just accept those around them instead of finding the difference or the fault the world would be a more peaceful place to live.
