Gotta say, "what life is like for the first months with the first baby" is one of the least homogenous collections of anecdotes I have
FWIW, the last new daddy I talked to said both he and his wife were overwhelmed with the disparity between the joy they felt vs. the hell they were told to expect — and he was a pretty overworked high-level primary school employee, not someone with so much bandwidth to spare

1 y.o. now, first weeks were ~blissful. Later, handling colic-type distress every evening was emotionally & cognitively very challenging, but somehow okay. I wasn’t really prepared for the sustained lack of personal autonomy but c’est la vie. Twitter kind of helps.

"Kids will make a liar of you" is something I learned really quickly — just professionally observing at a school for a research project. They're as different as every other kind of people are. Generalizations and prescriptions fail constantly. It's maddening.

The truth is that newborns don't let you sleep well but they aren't that much work. A lot depends on those early weeks on how well you function on spotty sleep, people are really different. The amount of bandwidth parenting demands increases a lot during the toddler years.

Totally agree, its like, if you make them comfortable, they just sleep for a solid 2 hours at a time, and you can do whatever you want in that time. It really is like a tomogochi at that point.
