Weekend Dads, do you feel less regret
Quick question, are there any weekend dads or moms here does being a 'part time' parent make the regret easier to manage?
Ofc i wish i wasn't a father kids are not worth the stress etc the usual spiel, my relationship is going down the pan so i'll be coparenting soon. I'm wondering if this will make it easier for me to deal with my regret?
I mean being a 24/7 parent SUCKS, but i imagine seeing my kid(4months) on weekends only will be a nice balance. I won't miss him, so not seeing him will be fine in fact i may enjoy seeing him as absence makes the heart grow fonder perhaps. Perhaps i'll enjoy being a dad if i have an OFF button, e.g. dad on weekends, me on weekdays.
It's the off button that is non negotiable, i have no desire to be a husband or a full time dad, i need to be able to turn off. Atm i get 0 time to myself, money is all spent on the baby, no love life, just stress and worry. When i'll be coparenting ill atleast have me time, more money for me etc and just silence.
I wonder if it's got better for any of you weekend dads & moms
