The further you get away from the baby stage, the more you romanticize it. I REMEMBER my daughter being the most amazing thing in the world from the very first day. I KNOW that wasn't the case and made a mental note of the fact that I, like you, wasn't bonded until ~6 months. Before that she was obviously my daughter but I didn't have that "I'd do anything for this child" feeling until much later.
If you asked me today how I FEEL, I'd say it was that way from day one. But I know for a fact that wasn't the case originally.
- saiya-jin 7y agoHmm, I guess I was lucky, I had this from first second. Maybe being with my wife during delivery and helping as much as I could (plus cutting the cord) helped. Don't know TBH. I would give up my life to protect him. My dreams and goals became meaningless (and still are, although its only 2+ months now). They will come back of course eventually, in some amended form. Or maybe our baby wasn't "basically a bag of screams and shit" helped. Not that those aren't present, but this isn't the dominant feature that I think of when thinking about him.
