I've been excited to have kids for decades (35M with 34F partner, we've been trying for 2 years for a baby) and I'm so blessed to have my son and I absolutely love him and would do anything for him and I try to be a supportive boyfriend by helping out as much as I can no matter what it is. He's so cute when he's sleeping and I have that little smile of his or he stares so lovingly.

But why do I hate the newborn stage and can't wait to get out of it? Everyone says it's the best time ever and I'll miss it but honestly, I don't think I will. He's either sleeping (and barely does as he's going through 8 week sleep regression) or screaming his head off, when he's not being fed.

Does this make me a bad parent?! I feel like thinking it makes me a terrible parent let alone taking about it. Please tell me I'm not alone here?!

:Edit:

Wow, I didn't expect this level of response and all of the support. It's so relieving to know I'm not alone here. Thank you everyone for the support and encouragement, it really means a lot!!
