Ever since we’ve had kids, my usual laid back attitude has been replaced with increasing stress and anxiety. I feel like I manage it well enough, but at the same time I find myself becoming more and more of a hermit.
I need to get out more (run club once a week right now), and I always feel better when I do, but I also feel guilty for leaving the wife with the kids, or not spending time with them, by doing things for myself.
What do you to balance yourself and your family?
That’s the thing, I feel that she deserves it more than I do. She’s had to commit so much more of her body/time towards the kids, especially in those early months (and prior to birth)… so there’s a lot more that she should get before I get anything.
