Yeah, several.  It was pretty hairy, one way and another, but honestly, even if he'd been a picture of health, I'd quite possibly still have found it overwhelming and deeply unpleasant.  My whole fucking life got turned completely upside-down and I didn't like it one bit.

I thought the first two weeks were awesome, since she was sleeping like 22 hours a day. Weeks 2-6 were pretty tough in a what-the-hell-have-I-done sort of way and are mostly a blur.

I've heard from very few dads who *love* having an infant, so I think this is a fairly universal thing. For whatever reason, new-dad struggles are something that isn't talked about a lot, so it came as a bit of a shock to me. I remember thinking that I was a bad person because I was certainly not "treasuring" every moment (as I was told to do by every old person at the grocery store). It still feels that way a bit, but less so even after a few months.

You're absolutely right.  People looked at me strange when I talked about how bloody difficult I was finding it, which just made me all the more determined not to make a secret of it.  I'm not ashamed of how I felt.  I think it was entirely underfuckingstandable, considering what had just happened to my previously self-centred existence.

First 4 months sucked. Then they start to play and it's fun.

Until they turn 15, fuck up their biology test, don't ask for help, and have a shitty-for-what-he-can-really-do first semester of high school.

To be fair, my potato brain missed it until Chuck went all Joke Explainer on us.  So, I for one both appreciate Chuck's help as well as Archer's joke.

You'll really be fine. Talk to other dads. Adjust your expectations a bit. Watch Birdman or something if you get spare time; it really sounds like your kind of film.

I was thinking that this thread hijack was unfortunate and should have happened in a subsequent Boyhood thread. But now I realize this is the perfect conversation for this film. There are a lot of important things being said on a topic that I have absolutely no interest in. So I'm going to just watch and nod and appreciate that other people have different interests than me. I'm ok with my perfectly self-centered existence after all.

Carry on.
