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.

Love these quotes and will consider them deeply.

Typical dad always quoting Jung ;)

Your dad quoted Jung to you, but was still that bad / absent?

I probably should have phrased it as “just like a typical dad, always quoting Jung” or something like that.
