So far I feel like I’ve been doing a pretty good job of helping to take care of my wife during these first 4 months of pregnancy. I would almost say it’s been relatively easy, but I hesitate to go that far because I’m able to do a whole lot more while on summer vacation. It pretty nice not to have to worry about a million things going on at work.
I know that this whole pregnancy thing is going to get much more difficult when summer vacation is over. My wife has observed that during the summer months, I am more present and engaged when not thinking about work.
I should have been working on this long ago for our own benefit. Now I need to try to figure out how to keep the same level of attachment while working full time with a wife that is becoming more and more pregnant.
Hopefully, I can figure it out in the coming months. Because if I don’t, I have no doubt that our child will observe the same thing and I would hate for them to feel that detachment and then associate it with school. If there’s one thing I’ve observed lately, it’s that kids are much smarter and more intuitive than adults typically give them credit for.
I will happily be an ass if it means not screwing up my kid… I don’t think it works that way, however.
