You’re a good dad. Had to make the call that my grandparents won’t meet Tinyest cause they’d bring my psycho mum into it and… yeah shits tough dude. So good job!

Thanks man.

I seriously mean that.

Being a parent is awesome but also makes you realise that our main job is keeping our kids safe from unnecessary bullshit.

My wife's fam is messed as. We talk to like 4 people out of like 40 close relos.

Mine is easy cause they're all overseas

You’re very welcome. My resolves only been tested for 3 months. So it’s legit impressive you’re still doing your best.

I was chatting to a mate before mine was born, and I said the biggest thing for me is a good parent is no longer the protagonist. Our wants and goals and well-being are still important don’t get me wrong. But if the kid isn’t priority 1, something is wrong.
