A friend who had a child short while ago (I am to have my first one in a few months) said that what his father did was convince all of his friends that having kids at the same time would be a great idea immediately after he learned his wife is pregnant. Perhaps we ought to transition our friends into parents to bring them along for the ride? :D

Seriously though, this is a good post, I am fortunate not to be in this situation, but I was an expat myself for a long time in a country whose culture was alien to me, and I understand the feeling - I cannot imagine being a parent there (which is why we moved). Get yourself a group of people around you who you can share with, it is as important as exercise, food and sleep.

I am also keen for the online meet-ups (as I doubt there are many readers from Serbia) - keep us posted!

Can’t even begin to tell you how much this article meant to me. Thank you so much. I’m going to share this with my Dads WhatsApp group today. PSA: If any readers are based in the East Bay Area please comment. Extra points if you’re a music fan and I’d love to connect with a fellow Dad who wants to 🤘🏽
