I look at other dads and I feel inadequate. I lost my job 3 months ago, and my baby just came last month. We are depending on my wife's income right now. I hate being a stay at home dad, but what else can I do? Please suggest things I can do (while applying for jobs) to get my mind off the entrapment I feel.

for now, instead of worrying and feeling bad about losing your job, i suggest you take the time to give as much time and care to your baby as you can, while your wife is working. both you and your wife will have a huge role to play here. and even if she is the one who is working and bringing in the money, you staying at home with your baby and looking after the little one is equally important. use this as a bonding time. when you get some time to yourself, which initially will be very less, make sure you rest well and look for new work options as and when you can. and yes, try and maintain a daily routine so that you are more focused and positive.
