I don’t like my second child
I recently became The father to my second baby which to start with I was overjoyed about it was lovely to start with and I cried when he was born. He is now one and I find myself resenting him purely Because he requires more attention than my first born ever did. He constantly cries and whinges and quite frankly it’s driving me ** crazy. I feel nothing but coldness and resentment towards him and inside it’s breaking me apart because I don’t want to feel that way towards him but the truth is I just can’t help it. I imagine I will get abuse or trolls respond to this but I’m hoping maybe someone has been through this before and it isn’t just me. Feeling sad :-/
You're "feeling sad" because you insisted on bringing yet another DNA replicant onto an overcrowded planet? Too bad. Bed, made, lie.

This is the problem with the modern world. Once upon a time it would have been mom's job. Plus she would have had the village to help her. Now we do this as individuals.
You need **
It takes a lot to be honest and vulnerable even in this crazy forum. I'm sure you are not a lone. You haven't bonded with him yet. It will happen.. I found this site: https://www.dad.info/forum/families/46813-struggling-to-bond-with-second-baby -- you may find some suggestions and help in there. In putting the question "dad bonding with second child" others come up. Some suggest private time between you and the new baby. And even going to a therapist and talking about it open and honestly. Good luck!
Thank you so much for your kind words I am genuinely hating myself right now. I shall check that link, thank you so much
You need a timeout. Just hire a babysitter for a while
Yeah I think part of the problem is we had 2 baby’s within a year of eachother so we have had no time off. Also our eldest who is 6 has ADHD so my house is like a zoo basically.
