In what instance do you think world is unfair to men ? I'll go first.
I am a new dad, and everyday i am going through a lot.
- Sleepless nights
- changing baby's diapers
- taking care of my wife
And after all this most people are talking about Post-Partem depression (PPD) for women. I am not minimising it, but at the same time paternal PPD is very harsh to go through.
Anyone who calls / texts me to congratulate, always ask if the kid and the mother are doing fine. No one asks about me and my mental well being.
I am exhausted, mentally tired and yearning for a break.
At the same time i feel guilty of having these feelings while I should be enjoying the fatherhood phase.
My wife (understandably) has major mood swings. And so much so that she says a lot against my family, mother, my emotional availability etc. etc.
While i have to keep my mouth shut and listen to all this throughout the pregnancy period and now after delivery.
I dont have data to support my claim but i am sure men also go through a lot during a baby delivery phase that not many acknowledge.
Anyone having a similar experience?
