New parent feeling overwhelmed

I’m a functional head, new dad and struggling to find my balance with work and parenting. Any tips? How do I win both parenting and work? Right now the split is more like 70-80% parenting, but 20-30% work. Need to balance it out

Everyone knows about the relatively young median age we have India. So consequently, we are going to be having a burst of newly weds and their subsequent kids. This would also be a generation where we see both parents working instead of one parent staying home(rent ain't cheap). So, few questions to new parents who are both working jobs: What were major problems/stressors you faced in early years of parenting ? (Specifically between 0-2 years of age where babies require alot of care) What parts of early years of parenting strained your work life the most? What parts of the early years of parenting gave you guys the most joy? Would love to know more.

How to manage workload with new born baby. I just had a baby and feeling a lot of pressure with office work as well as parenting. I want to give lot of time to my baby but it's not getting possible. My wife is on paternity leave and doing most of the baby work. I feels like I am missing lot of things in this phase of my child. Please suggest something.

Gathering information for the future 🤗

I'm in my early 30s and suddenly my social media is flooded with baby announcements. Meanwhile, I'm here enjoying my DINK (Dual Income No Kids) lifestyle. But lately, I can't shake this nagging feeling that I might be missing out on something important. Those who chose to be childfree, do you ever regret it? Parents, is it really as fulfilling as everyone says? How did you know you were ready?

Parents of GV, what were your thoughts of such innovation after becoming parents

I am one and I have trouble always grew up asking parents, permission, rules but some decisions need to be taken on own, even smallest but the continuous overthinking complicates it further

DINKs, (dual income no kids) have been gaining traction a lot lately. I want to know from the members of gravevine, what are their views on being a DINK couple or a DINKWAD( double income no kids with a dog). From financial prospects like having a huge disposable income to emotional aspects like not having a legacy or going against custom Indian tradition. Do share your thoughts 🤔💭

Hi, recently we had a baby girl 👶 and are ovet the moon and enjoying our early parenthood. I have noticed that we have been *a lot* of money on things (toys, dresses, accessories etc..) ~1lakh till now.. 20k for clothes, other accessories ~70k (crib, car seat, stroller, dining chair, baby carrier, breast pumps etc etc..) during these initial days.. All products in baby category are super __expensive__ (talk about muslin clothes) and kids quickly outgrow them, making them irrelevant (our daughter is just 20days old and whatever the rompers we got for newborn is already to tight for her). How do you convince your wife that something is too expensive and not worth to buy? Whenever I have given hints on this, she mentions that you spend money on this and that and we shouldn't "kanjoos" when it comes to baby👶.. My wife is not ready to buy second hand items or use items from relatives (at least things like accessories not clothes). I can easily afford all this (>1cr CTC), but when do I start things about spending excessively?
