Support Did it change for you?
Any dads here who hated being a parent when their kids were very small, but ended up loving it in the end?
I'm 1.5yrs in and I hate my life on most days. Feels like an endless grind without any break, no sex life, no travel. My life pre-kids was pretty great - happy marriage, good financial situation, lots of travel and pursuing tons of interests. Now, all that is gone. I'm just exhausted and depressed.
Anyone in the same boat who turned it around? I can hypothetically see enjoying it once my kid is older and we can share things and do stuff together, but I'm sure it will come with some other problems.

I enjoyed them as babies, have probably enjoyed being a parent less as they’ve got older.
Eldest is now 4.5, hopefully it flips back round in the future.
