Tonight, I had Ava while my wife was at a gathering. Ava is a tough baby to settle, but I got her to sleep on me and enjoyed cuddles while watching The West Wing. She suddenly woke herself and spent 30 mins screaming so we didn't finish the episode. Went through a nappy change, various holds, and finally, a bottle before she started giving me some more smiles and playing. Enjoyed it, but it's tough when you're exhausted at the end of a week. #parenting #devdad
I straight up do not understand how single moms/dads/parents do it. My wife and I both wfh full-time and can't afford day care so we share duties in watching the boi (15 mos) and THAT'S barely possible. Seriously amazing people out there that manage this on their own. π
