  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

My partner and I managed to take our newborn out yesterday to a garden centre, where we had breakfast. I know it's not much but we're slowly building our confidence in going out with the little one.

What an exciting step! Your whole life has changed how are you finding it?

Thanks for asking!

Honestly so far the only hard thing about it is the lack of sleep. When my partner and I have a bad night's sleep it just makes everything else that bit more difficult. But when we see the little one crack an involuntary smile, or do a funny little fart, or makes a cute little sound it kind of lightens the load a little bit.

My patience is definitely pushed to its limit at times, but having my partner there to support me, and vice versa, allows us to get through it.

Yep absolutely everyone finds this time rough, I'm really glad there's so many positives with it. You and your partner having a strong relationship will definitely help and I'm glad you have each other
