Anger Management / fuck off thread

Then once a sleep routine of sorts finally kicked-in, things started to come back into focus
That is often the turning point. Reminded me as well that most parents understandably want to do breastfeeding for as long as possible (obviously not as long as Mama Smalls still does with Ed) but a major factor that helps is getting onto formula because it is so much more filling and promotes more sleep as they are properly stuffed after formula. Think our first kid went onto formula by week 10-12 and things turned around over night with sleeping.

Just sat out the back , what’s there to be angry about?
Fuck Gen Z and having to deal with their soft af, no-mark, entitled behaviour in a professional environment
Besides that, I’m good.
Lovely advice about dadhood from @whatever and @Unbroken1. Felt it and absolutely right. Wish someone told me the same 6 months back.
The missus and I decided to take care of our mini me without a nanny (yes the cook and cleaning lady made a massive difference for our peace of mind) for the first five months. And it soon dawned on me that I was useless when the missus decided she wanted to go all in on breast feeding, no bottle no formula. I’d spend about an hour or two of quality time a day, sometimes putting her to sleep. But not much else. A close friend gave us good advice, said you just need to come to terms with the fact the mother will be doing all the heavy lifting before you start solids. And once she’s moving and eating like a normal human, that’s when the father has to step up. There was some resentment in the early days, but I essentially made myself a butler for my wife, everything from cleaning up after her and the baby, changing diapers as much as possible, and making sure she was always eating and drinking. least I could do really. We’re also very lucky to have a hands-on mother in law who was always there for us when we needed a breather.
6th month, we’ve hired a live-in nanny, since maternity leave has ended. Game changer. Obviously not exactly affordable in the west, but if you can make it happen, just do it.
Anyone had any experience with “cry it out”? I had a Nri yank friend stay with us for a couple of weeks with his 1.5 year old son. What a mindfuck it was to hear the kid cry himself to sleep every other night. Don’t think we’ll ever go that route, but in terms of living on a schedule it worked for them. 7-8 he’d be crying, but like clockwork would be out from 8-7.
Haha rhouses calling gen z entitled then launching into 3 paragraphs of entitlement 
Have we re-branded to Dads-net? 
One more thing, I wish the useless lamaaz classes my wife forced me to attend before the birth taught us about ‘leaps’. If you can learn to understand that schedule, as the baby is growing and becoming more aware, you could probably get a handle on the nightmare behaviour when the baby is getting sensory overloads as it develops each month.
Cankles-McJeggings haha clearly mentioned “professional environment”.
