Two weeks into paternity leave and I'm losing it

This is harder than my actual job. I thought being home would be relaxing but between bottles every 3 hours, diaper blowouts, and trying to keep my 4 year old entertained while the baby sleeps, I'm exhausted. Went back to check my work emails yesterday just to feel sane again. Only 8 more weeks to go.

Two weeks in is still the hardest part honestly. You're in survival mode right now. Give it another week or two and your body will adjust to the rhythm. Bottles get easier when you stop thinking about it so much.
Honestly the first month is the worst. Your brain is fried from sleep deprivation and you're learning a whole new skill set. It gets better.
