Baby girl arrives in 8 weeks. We have the crib, the car seat, we've taken classes. But reading forums like this at 4am while my wife sleeps has me spiraling. What if I can't handle
Our son is 3 months old. Before he was born we fought maybe once a month, just stupid stuff. Now? We're bickering constantly. She thinks I'm not doing enough, I think she's being c

I'm supposed to go back Monday. Been home for 12 weeks with my son Kai and honestly it's been one of the best experiences of my life. Yeah I'm tired, yeah there were hard days, but
This is embarrassing to admit but my wife has completely checked out of our relationship since our son was born (3 months ago). Every conversation is about the baby. Every interact
Just wanted to post this for the new guys out there spiraling in the newborn phase - it gets SO much easier. Like ridiculously easier. My son is almost a year and a half now and th
Picked up a lightly used SNOO Smart Sleeper from Facebook Marketplace in Chicago for $750 (retail is like $1600 lol). People kept saying it's a waste of money but honestly our 2 mo
