perfect dad

hey daddy...first up, stop beating yourself up so much. if others are looking at you as a responsible father and husband, it definitely means you are doing a great job in both the roles :) stop feeling so bad and pressuring yourself. instead, if you want to get more hands on, tell your wife about it. she will love and respect you the more for it. you could take over some diaper duties, or bottle feeding time, or story reading time maybe? these are also great ways to bond with your baby. in the meanwhile, take your me time and relax a bit too :) and don't battle it, but live this new phase of being a dad, while maintaining your own self as well.
