I think I need a part time gf or something. Like fully committed, but someone that understand life gets busy with our kids and such and doesn’t need to talk 24/7, but we make time to go on dates as often as we can and support each other as necessary. Not sure if it makes sense or if I sound like a total asshole. Just never thought I’d find myself a single dad at 32 randomly.
I just wanted to ask how y’all deal with the guilt that comes from feeling like you’re not giving your baby enough attention. I know that I give my son almost every minute of every day, but sometimes when I leave him in his swing after I’m done cleaning up, or prepping his bottles or doing his laundry, I feel guilty like I’m neglecting him for not picking him up the second I’m done with chores. Part of me knows it’s ok to take a few minutes to myself, but I can’t help but feel that way. I’d love to hear other’s perspectives.
