Hey dad, did having a newborn make you bitter towards your parents? (programming.dev)

I just had a kid of my own and I’m finding some feelings of resentment towards mom.

Like, there were some times where I didn’t receive the supervision I needed, or where I wasn’t taught certain life skills (because she was so busy with my siblings) and I just can’t imagine letting that happen with my baby.

Did you ever feel this way towards your parents when you had me? If so, how did you deal with it?

Thanks Pop.

You are quite right, plane tickets to and from home were part of the deal though. As well as chef cooked meals every night.

I don't think it's entitled to want to have your mum around and feeling bitter that she doesn't want to be with you and your family..

I see. Thanks for the additional information. That’s rough.
