Raising a kid for the first time without any sort of nearby support system absolutely fucking sucks.
Best we can get is uninvolved family members calling and texting from hundreds, if not thousands of miles away to give us unsolicited parenting advice and question our decisions as parents, despite the fact that the vast majority of them have yet to actually meet our baby in person (and have made no effort to do so).
Otherwise healthy and happy baby is inconsolable lately. Taking her to the doctor today… hoping it is just something minor like her starting to teethe. It just sucks and I feel like a bad parent because she’s clearly uncomfortable about something and I haven’t been able to fix it.
Sorry… tired, overworked dad just needed to vent.
