Identity crisis post kids
I'm 38 and I don't even know who I am anymore outside of being a dad. I was the guy who knew about music and movies and had interesting thoughts. Now I can tell you which dinosaur is which and how to get crayon out of carpet but I feel like I lost myself somewhere around kid two. Trying to find hobbies again but honestly everything feels selfish now and I feel guilty. Anyone else gone through this?
I read a lot of Narnia to my kid and sometimes I realize I'm more excited about the story than he is. Point is, your interests matter too and they don't have to change just because you're a parent.
