I recently became a dad and its such a wonderful feeling
But i also work which is probably the hardest part of being a dad...my head knows i need too work too provide but my heart just wants to be with my little boy..... BUT i seem too becoming increasingly jealous of my fiances parents(sons grandparents) as they seem to spend pretty much all day everyday with my son.....im so worried and overthinking the thought that they might be seen as more of a parent than me, somedays when we are all together i just feel like im in the way and i feel like i cant say anything cause i will be made out to be the bad guy....anyone else have this kind of issue?

Babies always know who their parents are 😀

What you are feeling is normal!

Can you split the parental leave?

Perhaps one evening a week or on a Sunday afternoon or something you just have time with your child doing something - nice walk, see the duck etc

Sounds like a very normal worry! I've found that whenever I manage a day on my own with the little one (very rare!) it made me feel a lot better and kind of reset everything. Very hard working full time but dropping any other plans and having a day on your own with them is 100% worth it
