Hey dad, did having a newborn make you bitter towards your parents? (programming.dev)

I just had a kid of my own and I’m finding some feelings of resentment towards mom.

Like, there were some times where I didn’t receive the supervision I needed, or where I wasn’t taught certain life skills (because she was so busy with my siblings) and I just can’t imagine letting that happen with my baby.

Did you ever feel this way towards your parents when you had me? If so, how did you deal with it?

Thanks Pop.

Yeah, a bit. I think a lot of adulthood involves reacting to our parents and their choices, consciously or not. Ultimately we're all just people mostly trying our best with what we've got. You'll be okay, just keep at it.
