    This kids gonna drive me insane and if he doesn’t the wife will. I said a 4pm nap was a bad idea, lo and behold who was right? 8pm and he won’t go to sleep. He’s gonna be up till 10pm again I can tell. And im a bad dad if I don’t do my part in helping fix a totally avoidable situation of my wife’s own creation.

      Bad dad, no.

      Bad partner…maybe.

      Parenting is full of mistakes and misjudgments.

      You and your wife are in the same team and need a united front.

      One fucks up, the other fixes it.

      It gets worse when kids become toddlers and older.

      Take it on the chin, help out and keep it in your pocket as a favour in the future 😁

      I used to stay up late and play video games with my son next to me on the couch when he was little.

      You got this mate.

      Lie on your bed with baby in your arms. Breath slowly and rhythmically to imitate sleep . Baby will copy and fall asleep.

        great advice, and he does for about 60-80 seconds before he fights it.
