How do you guys balance work and new dad life?

I'm heading back to the office next week after being home for 6 weeks and I'm absolutely dreading it. Not because I don't like my job but because I'm going to miss so much. My son is changing every single day and I feel like I'm going to blink and he'll be grown. Wife will be home with him which is great but I'm struggling with the guilt of not being there. How do other guys handle this? Does it get easier or do you just learn to live with the sadness?

I'm right there with you man, the guilt is real when you're heading back. Just focus on being present when you're home, that's what matters.

That transition is tough but you've got this. The balance gets easier once you settle into a routine, even if it feels impossible right now.
