I miss my daughter.


Hi, all. I don't know where else to post this. I just need to get it off my chest and I love this community.So for the first two years, I was a stay-at-home dad to my daughter. She is almost three now, and I've been working full-time for the past few months to get us into a better living situation and save up for another car. My wife works full-time as well but her income wasn't enough for our goals.I've been going to school full-time for the past year as well. So work + school = barely any time to spend with daughter. I'm her favorite person in the world and she's mine. We do everything we can together and I adore everything about her. I just really miss taking care of her as a stay-at-home parent. It feels like now I'm just a dad who gets to do fun things with her, instead of actually raising her. And it sucks.Last night I worked from 11 PM to 9 AM, went to sleep, woke up at 2:30 PM to get ready to leave for a meeting at work, and my daughter was so excited to see me. Then she starts bawling once I tell her "dad has to go to work for you".I hope she grows up realizing what I do for her and I hope we don't lose that special bond we've had for years together.I'm sorry if this isn't the right place, I just figured people here would understand. The rest of Reddit usually thinks kids are evil. Thanks for reading. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2OCZbMj
