Hey, shit happened to me as well... deadbeat obese mom...
Buuut, I wanted him to have his mom by his side... no matter how offputting and lazy she is... so, we make it work (kinda... not really... I do it for the kid, OK ๐ญ?!).
Of course, I do it every time and at every occasion I get ๐. I love him to death ๐.
That doesn't mean I'm not strict. He knows the rulebook, we draw and make shapes and color before TV or whatnot... not that his mom taught him any of that ๐คฌ. She just switches on the TV and call it a day.
Anyway, he still loves having her arround... for moral support or whatever... and he sees other kids do fun stuff with mom and dad, and he wants that as well... and he has only dad in that scenario, but mom is still around... mostly... with a cigarette in her mouth and on her phone doomscrolling ๐... but yeah, she is present.
I am trying not to kill myself solwly by focusing on the kid, what he wants to do and finds interesting, so that keeps my mind off current events... it works... for the time being...
sounds like you're doing a good job being a dad, kids lucky to have you :)
I hope I am... I really do... I think I'm doing OK, but I always consult other people and elderly people that have raised at least a few kids, and then kinda make my own mash of all of the info, take into account my son's personality and come up with a "formula"... it is a lot of work though, parrenting didn't really come naturally to me, I really had no idea how to approach a baby from a psychological development perspective. Diapers, eating, cuddling, cramps, that stuff's easy. Starting to teach him things, that was the hard part for me... quite frankly, I was lost... she was freaking nowhere to be found regarding this, so I had no help from her... so I just started watching people in the park with babies, while we were having a stroll, do what they are doing with their kids. That was my starting point, and it was hard, but it got easier as I got more into it ๐.
hell yea man, like I said, kids lucky to have a dad that tries as hard as you do :)
Thank you, it means a lot ๐.
